New Ways of Interactions - Vimeo Videos



I really like the idea of Lego X as it enables individuals who may not have any engineering or design skills to be able to design products and visualise their idea's without using complex programs or mathematical skill.

Using Lego blocks with a type of motion sensor underneath each block, the application used on the tablet is designed to track where the pieces of Lego are being placed. An accelerometer sensor could have been used as it measures the changes in gravitational acceleration to sense motion in multiple directions.

This technology is interesting as the structure built from the Lego blocks can be used to form different objects. The Lego blocks can go from being cuboid shaped to being smoothed and rounded to form other objects such as a toy plane. Additionally, the application supports 3D printing software meaning that the structure built from Lego can be physically made.
I really like the idea of Toot as it allows young children to explore and interact with physical objects to introduce them to sound and can be controlled in a mobile application. This product was designed as a young child would find it quite difficult to play a small keyboard or guitar compared to a number of blocks.

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.
