[Research] Interactive Poster Design (4CTA1214)

Interactive posters can be physically interactive or interactive on screen.

Although this poster is not on screen, it is still interactive. When shaken the material (likely aluminium) makes a similar sound to thunder which works well as the image printed is of lightening.
The company, Saxofunny, make many different posters using this style of interactivity. This company uses a bubble wrap material to make a sound similar to the pressing of a key on a typewriter. The image printed is designed around the material it is printed on as the typewriter keys are based around one bubble in the wrap per key. When pushed, this bubble will make the desired sound - making this poster interactive and interesting.

However posters have developed to being used and viewed on screen. Using software such as Adobe Flash/Animate, animators and designers can digitally draw or re-create an already existing poster so that it can be interactive in different ways.

When posters are physical objects, the easiest way for them to be interactive is to play with the senses of sound and touch as well as sight to involve the viewer. However digitally designed posters will not be able to be touched and therefore can be interactive by allowing the viewer to play a game within the poster or watch a video. By animating part of the poster a different dimension is created in terms of poster design as this cannot be done using a physical poster.

This is an example of an interactive poster for on screen digital use. Compared to the physical posters the difference is huge.

Logo Design

I specifically wanted my logo to be an SG as these are my initials. Therefore I attempted to a few different designs until I found the one that I liked. For this post, I have put my logos on blackgrounds so that they are visible. This was my original logo however I wanted to change this slightly as I feel as though it didn't fit the feel of my website and was too simple. When creating this logo, I took into consideration my background and the type of style I wanted to go for. I was inspired by my favourite game FEZ as I really like what they did with the title of the game. If you look at their logo closely you can see the logo from both angles and really liked this effect. I decided to put the S and the G at different angles as it resembles a butterfly. When you see my logo from a different angle it looks as though a butterfly is flapping it's wings which I believe fits well with my background. I played around with the design of my previous...

Bootstrap Template

Image
I decided to use a bootstrap template for my website as I thought this may have made elements faster to implement as the template would already be responsive. I researched the benefits of using bootstrap and according to Christopher Gimmer in his 2014 blog 'Top 5 Reasons to use Bootstrap', he stated in his conclusion that, "...there are several benefits to using Bootstrap. The framework allows for rapid, responsive development that is consistent and well supported by the development and design community." His five reasons were, "Speed of Development, Responsiveness, Consistency, Customizable, Support" which I understand and agree with and therefore believe it is beneficial to use bootstrap in this project. This specific bootstrap template was similar to my mockup design and therefore by editing the code this template could look similar to what I had designed and invisioned.
