Due Next Class:
Post/Post to a NEW story called “Principles of Design in Motion: Ideation” on Medium. How to post on Medium.
- Final Exercise 2
- Project 2 Initial Exploration: Brainstorm 20 different themes. Then, select 8 principles and create 3 Mind Maps based on your top 3 themes; Consider the animation principles that may be used to correspond with each design principle. Research all principles and decide on a theme that can connect all of the ideas together and demonstrate the principles. Begin (some) thumbnails for the top 3 themes.
- Narrow to 1 concept after exploring and documenting 3 ideations.
- Continue thumbnail sketches on 1 theme (brainstorm the animation principles that may be used to correspond with each design principle). Begin exploring concepts.
- Optional: Create 1 moodboard on top 1 concept (include type exploration, image/illustration style, color, keywords).
- Begin researching audio selections for your P2 (not due next class):
