collection. the final reveal.

The Chosen Mug is now online! Come check out my online curated mug collection. Come get to know a bit about 24 graphic designers and their favorite mug! The main theme for the website was getting to know and tell the story of an item that many of us, especially designers love but may not share their importance. I think memories as a general whole are a very important part of our foundation; which means that we know better who someone through is simply learning about their items, their quirks...and simply, what makes them their self, unique and that amazing of a person.

*nice personality in sentimental roll over
*very audience engaging
*work with a darker translucent box on reveal pages
*add another category onto reveal page, "my music" seems a bit disconnected
*pin navigation tabs on top

the preliminary presentation.

Below are the slides from my preliminary presentation. The idea is to be more image based, than text based to illustrate/visualize the experimenting that I did, adding in more personal moments of discovery during the presentation itself. Since my all my tests were all closely related, I highlighted the important lesson, image, or issue from each experiment.  I'm not fully sure where I want this to end up, but I want it to be further away from where it is currently lying.

feedback.

*think about laying/covering a room with images/layout

*think of making it more into a way finding system (think of Kim's experiment 1: QR Code)

*installation with layers + interaction?

*move away from the set structure that I'm sticking too closely to

*get drunk + start putting images together? (so highly structured layout may expand out more)

*get people to create compositions

*wheat pasting/wheatpasting

*think about "beautiful decay" and how images/words/ideas change with time

collection. the landing photographing.

Below are some of the different image angles + styles that I was looking into with the landing page. I went with the idea of a china cabinet and the connotation that comes with it; the idea of objects being almost priceless, held to high esteem, and near and dear to the heart.
