New Music Market - Wireframe Development


When developing my wireframes, I started by adding in all the images of my products, this made some basic changes to the layout and ratios - I used square images for the products in order to appear large on the page, making for bolder visuals, but also so the layout was modular and concise. As some more research,




I looked at the Urban Outfitters application which has a very bold layout, with images filling the screen and different sections utilising interesting typography - this is definitely an approach which would appeal to my demographic (16 - 30) so I experimented with a similar layout for my homepage - my first design was quite convoluted, with different colours and typefaces clashing a bit, so I decided to tone it down a bit, using a more refined colour palette and selection of typography. Finally I did the individual pages for two of the products; I used the colour from their individual visual identities for the text on their pages to give them a stronger sense of individuality, and added in some basic info about the album and the tracklist - solidifying the idea that the consumer is purchasing music.

Science Fiction Research Project - Facts About Science Fiction

https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/20-things-you-didnt-know-about-science-fiction 1.Arguably the inspiration for much science fiction traces back to  classical mythology . Think of it—Earthlings abducted by beings from the sky, humans morphing into strange creatures, and events that defy the laws of nature. 2.Writers for the early pulp magazines would often write under multiple pseudonyms so they could have more than one article per issue. Ray Bradbury—taking this practice to another level—used six different pen names. 3.Prominent physicists and space travel pioneers have (often secretly) contributed to SF lit. German rocket genius Wernher Von Braun wrote  space fiction  and was an adviser to sci-fi movies such as  Conquest of Space . 4.During the 1960s, James Tiptree Jr. penned sci-fi classics like  Houston, Houston, Do You Read?  but was so secretive that people suspected he was a covert government operative. 5.At age 6...

Rimowa - Pitch and Feedback

Rimowa -  It was really interesting for Commission to go through the presentation that they used to pitch for the Rimowa re-brand. Straight off the bat, one of the most interesting aspects was seeing the differences in their initial concepts, and the finished result, Chris addressed this by highlighting that when you’re pitching for a project and you win, that doesn’t mean that your designs will be applied as they are in the pitch, it means that you’ve won the opportunity to further work on it, and in Commission’s case, the project ended up developing in a few ways, a lot of this down to the CEO’s vision for the identity.   What also really struck me was how incredibly refined and thorough Commission’s presentation was, they created so many different aspects of collateral for the brand, and each was meticulously produced and photographed. They mentioned that they don’t normally do pitches, however this one they couldn’t refuse, and every member of the studio worked on the...
