research

I began my research with a camera, planning to go to areas of London, take photos, gather flyers etc but I realised my idea is not refined enough to begin this kind of research. what am i actually gathering and what for?I feel that my map has to have a more focused purpose and appeal to a certain audience. Then i can gather the specific information and present it visually. finding this hard.

Poster design for uni lecture

This is a side project for our weekly lectures with visiting designers. Looking back I think I would have used a piece of coloured card for my collage - as you cannot see the edges of the playing cards.

Simple map

Here is a basic drawing for the beginnings of my map - I will do a series of collages to visually illustrate the areas of London, and select music and perhaps sounds recorded on a dictaphone to reflect the areas too.

New Idea

The idea I have that is strongest at the moment is a map of sound. I would use a simple line drawing of a map of London, then on Flash create buttons over certain places in London, which are collages, and they enlarge when the mouse goes over them. I would put sound on these buttons which is music that reflects that area of London. In order for this to work I think I would need to spend a lot of time on it, but I think it would be successful.

photos I've taken...

Project2: mapping the territories

update of all my ideas...
This image inspired me for an idea for a map: taking random or selected objects and dropping them from a height onto a map, or maybe a blank piece of paper, then plotting where they lie by taking a photo or joining them together with string or felt tip by drawing on the paper. perhaps repeatedly doing this then superimposing the results over eachother to create one image.

1st project in 2nd yr: You are here

This film was created to reflect upon some of the things that have inspired me recently, and also to tell you a bit about me. I think I could have refined it much more, although it has sketchbook feel to it which conveys how it was made and thought up originally. The soundtrack was an important element to me as music is a great passion of mine. I wanted to pick a song that describes me at the moment, and this felt right. It is called Quite spectacular by Hint, hence the name of the film.
