indie culture. the final class presentation video.

This was my group's final video presentation for class today. We now that we still have a bunch of changes to make to this video to make it better. We ran into more issues as this project continued, so we have things that we need to change and plan on it.


RESOUND, final class presentation video

final branding booklet. manheim park/historic manheim park association.

Below is the final booklet style for the rebranding of Manheim Park + the Historic Manheim Park Association. This was included in the final packaging for Manheim Park + the Historic Manheim Park Association as well as all of the logos, flat PDFs of promotional materials, typefaces within the new branding, possible vendor options for purchasing promotional materials + environmental signage + Microsoft letterhead templates.

indie culture. recording process.

We ran into some difficulties of figuring out where to record due to other noises that were going on at the same time, i.e. the heater or other sources of noise. We ended up using a white box and put our narrator within the box to record via one of our MacBookPros. The sound came out fairly well + we were happy to have found a good solution.

design systems. even more poster work.

I still need to figure what the extra tagline is, the one for the promotional posters that will state the kind of festival that it is, with the types of events that they will have. But this is the style that I'm aiming with, selective color to bring focus to the character/performer.

Professor Craig's feedback.

-color maybe isn't quite right

-think about choosing something that makes the performer stand out

-maybe add that teal or another color on all of the performers?

-is selective color adding too much to the instrument/piece of equipment + not emphasizing the performer enough?

indie culture. speculative video take 1.

This video shooting was definitely a new experience for me. I thought we were on the right track with making notes on the wall of where to touch, to correspond to the touchscreen technology, but ended up with a bunch of issues + a bit of a headache. The need to film at the not stereotypical angle of straight on, also became a large issue for mocking up the technology. I think that the best thing to do now is to reshoot the video, with the gestures on a green screen + a solid static wall photograph. I also know now that we need to make sure that the shots that we get are of motivated/enthusiastic actors/actresses because it can change the whole mood of the project.

A fun thing that I learned that will also be helpful with shooting on the green screen is rotoscoping. This was my first time, learning + attempting to rotoscope; it's pretty awesome, but takes more time than I had for this rough edit deadline. And it was definitely quicker to do with a green screen than without.

Below is the speculative 1, take 1 video of sound checking. I realized towards the second half how bad of angles that we took the video at, as I couldn't figure out which part of the routine the actress was at.

videos coming soon of the speculative + first attempt at our clear people + rotoscoping with a green screen video.

indie culture. photoshoot.

Today we photographed Little Leigh for the band page of Resound. Although not a real band yet, we set up a photo shoot aimed at what one of the bands who may use our cross platform app looked like. We will be going forward + using Little Leigh for our touchscreen soundcheck. 

design systems. more poster work.

Some more in class promotional poster style work. It's getting there for sure. I'm trying to decide if a horizontal or vertical layout work best. Maybe it could go either way? The full promotional series will have many of the acts that have performed in the past at the Kansas City Fringe Festival. Two of these types of acts are shown below.

mK feedback.

-Fringe needs to be kerned in some colors

-yes, his buddies would go see these shows based on the posters/imagery

-poster format works in both vertical + horizontal format; kind of fun

-I'm finally getting somewhere good; much improved

-circular image is not too distracting

-agrees with CN + PD on using same imagery in slightly different forms for various promo materials

-didn't mind the tag line

-thinks my secondary statement about KC Fringe Festival still needs to be worked on

KC Fringe. logo work.

So, today I was working on editing + receiving feedback on some of my materials for the Kansas City Fringe Festival rebrand.

indie culture. speculative designed screens. progress.

indie culture. speculative navigation size user test.

I was trying to figure out if the navigation size was the best ratio for users. The best way I had to test that was by using a tester! I kept the navigation size the same in both instances, I simply worked with how large the screen was projected on the wall. Based on these tests, I believe that the smallest the speculative should be projected for the knob to be adequately used is 66 inches by 105 inches ( 5.5 feet by 8.75 feet).

projected at a height of 48 inches and 76 inches wide.

close up of 48 inches height, hand closed is about 1/2 of the knob's width.

design systems. poster work.

Below is some of the promotional power work, overlaying that I've been working with, based off of classmate feedback during my presentation. I'm not too sure where I am leaning with these styles. I have heard positive marks from some classmates on the full blown color imagery, as well as with the duo color accent. It was also suggested to try using purple or having the ring in color and the other image in black + white. Luckily I heard back from my contact at the KC Fringe + sent these his way, we shall see what he thinks.

presentation. branding. manheim park neighborhood meeting.

This is the branding presentation from the 11.09.13 Manheim Park Neighborhood Meeting. All of our materials are almost final. We just need to finalize the Brand Standards + Website + start packaging all the files to pass on, then we're done.

indie culture. storyboard sketches. take 1.

below are the first sketched storyboards of our three minute video to cover all three technologies of Resound. We wanted it to be one large scenario between artist + advocate that covered our technologies and built a telling story of what Resound can be.
