(B2) POSTER DEVELOPMENT

-


  • To start with I increased the point size of the text surrounding the logotype in the centre
  • It was too big to fit around the edge of the poster so, I laid it out around the logotype 
  • I also made sure the type was white so it did not clash with the glitch double- exposure  
  • But, then I was stuck with the issue of trying to make each of the posters connect but in a way that fits the context of the project 


  • I reminded myself of the ideas behind our original designs which were the three- dimensional tesselations and the idea of play 
  • I drew out a bold cubic tesselation and fit it loosely to the triangular play button
  • I had shown it to the group and Hussaine asked whether we should make the line weight of the cubes in the social media thicker to match but, I thought it would look better with a finer line weight anyway 
  • This idea would allow for a constant dynamic element running through each poster and the other deliverables 
  • Then it was the issue of applying the textual information in a way that would fit the tesselation 

  • I know Angus said he liked the type treatment Ryan had done for the poster but, I tried to make it fit and with it no longer being the focal element of the design it just looked out of place and the legibility was compromised 
  • I just tried to see how we could place the type and using just the outlines like the cubes do 
  • I actually really liked it and the legibility was far better than before, all that was left was to add all the other information in a way that will not disrupt the rest of the design 

  • I then played around with some imagery from the videos by applying them to the faces of the cube in a similar way as the social media posts 
  • I tried to add a playful hand-rendered type for the guest speakers name however, I am not sure on the design and whether it works with our general style

(B5) KEY FEATURES OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE

-
Image
Gothic style can vary depending on location, age and the type of building (the purpose as such). However, to identify these buildings architects use five key architectural features: Large stained glass windows This is why gothic architecture is usually associated with places of worship as this feature is prevalent in Gothic cathedrals. "Featuring meticulously cut coloured glass" which are usually tall and arched windows (lancet) or round (rose). Often taller than the windows typically seen in churches. The idea is to let in technicolour light.  It is also known that these windows frequently feature tracery, which is decorative stone support. Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind...

(B5) GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE VISUAL INFOGRAPHIC

-

  This online infographic was a huge influence on this project and one of the first designs that I looked at. I love how the design is minimal but also shows the detail and extravagance of Gothic Architecture.  It is interesting to look at and has come away from the typical academic, historical article. Instead, the designer has gone for a sleek professional design that is easy to engage with and understand.  There are a lot of technical components to Gothic Architecture and I think this approach is probably the most effective for me to use within my own project. I am aiming my designs at people who live and commute through Leeds, which is a huge amount of people from all sorts of different demographics. Simplifying the language used to describe Gothic Architecture, opens the usability for more people and is less likely to separate the target audience.  The colour scheme of black and yellow is an amazing choice, the black signifying the Gothic style and the huge silh...

(B5) GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE: KEY TERMINOLOGY

-
Image
In order to understand the texts related to Gothic architecture, I really need to understand the terminology as I aforementioned when looking at the previous text. I will be listing definitions along the way to better understand. Also, if my designs will have an informational aspect, it would be better to use this terminology or synonyms at least for whatever target audience I choose.  (All within the context of Gothic Architecture) Pointed Arches  Large pointed arches typically found on the Gothic buildings, also seen in many places of worship Large Stained Glass Windows Hugely associated with churches and cathedrals but, also a key feature in Gothic buildings  Ribbed Vaulting  There are a few different types of vaulting, ribbed vaulting is the one most commonly associated with Gothic architecture. It is an integral structural element to support these large buildings.  Flying Buttresses A similar feature is flying buttresses. They also act as an extra support f...
