“All we have are our love and our guts baby” -Traffic by Bitch and Animal (Song in my head)... Loving these pics of my art under gallery lighting. You can actually see all the little details put into each piece. Layers of love and guts, the rawness of each experience transmuted into art. Layers of text in many of the pieces reveal bits of a story that can’t be told in just words. Paper doll figures overlap and connect and change the dynamic just as we see ourselves differently when we connect with others. Through our connections with others we are able to find ourselves. This is a a love story in paint, a story of overcoming, and a story of becoming. ❤️ #art #painting #paperdolls #contemporaryart #colorfulart #artexhibition #artspacegallery #creativeconscience #stroriestoldthroughpaint (at Hartford ArtSpace Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B06EAU8nR0i/?igshid=15w08zuv6uaqe
After looking at the briefs given to us, I was a bit stuck as I was interested by all of them, however I chose the one that could potentially have the most impact to the world and community.
I picked the Creative Conscience Natural World Brief and began generating ideas.
My idea is to create an app where you are encouraged to pick up a piece of trash everyday, being rewarded for multiple pieces, mark on a map where the trash was found and there is a leaderboard with friends to compete.
I want to include things like:
Heres how you can help…
Organise beach cleanups
Journal entries “today I picked up _ pieces of trash, and bought food without plastic packaging”
Eco bricks
Your challenge today…
Total litter picked up
Total sea creatures saved
Tree planting feature??
BeReal style feature where you take a picture of the litter you picked up
Turn your trash into treasure - diy section?
I want my app to appeal to GenZ and GenAlpha as we are the newest generations and our duty is to now fix our ruined world.
‼️As this work will not be assessed, I will just design elements and assets of the app alongside posters to advertise - not create a whole functioning app as this is just a concept.
Moodboard
I had a look for some inspiration to get my illustration mind flowing on what things I can draw up as features in my app.
The UK’s leading all-in-one climate platform
I also looked at this website that helps prevent climate change by planting trees and reduce carbon emissions. I like their simplistic design yet the colours are nice and bright. I aim to mimic something like this in my designs.
‼️Update 8/4/24
I ended up losing motivation for this project pretty quickly. I think the fact it wasn't going towards anything was a struggle for me as I felt like I had no reason to create anything.
‼️Update 7/5/24
After doing the “theres an app for that project” and discovering how enjoyable Adobe XD is for me - I may pick this back up as a summer project to see me through until the start of year 2
The award for the most sarcastic advert goes to !!!!! ALDI
While writing our copy write for the fur for animals brief, we are taking inspiration of comedians and sarcastic tones. To our surprise we found that aldi adverts, do exactly what we want to do. Take the mick to the extent, you wonder how they get away with it. Out of our research into sarcastic tones, we have been writing new copyright.
So I know how to code a website from design to frame work, is this the same for app design?
I used these awwards winning websites, not only just in no profit but any website that have responsive layout and clean appearance From this I taught myself how to to plan a app layout, and what to look for.
I found that you need look for
accessibility (scrolling and menu)
Clear colour hierarchy
grid structure
Small amounts of text on each page, keeps attention
