NOTICE : Visual Studies for Interactive Content - Voyeurism

This blog has been setup to act as a digital sketchbook for one of my current university projects.

This term I shall be working on the research and development part of the project. This part is defined by the folowing brief:

Visual language is the 'look and feel' of an item of design - created by such elements as colour, proportion, letterform, shape, texture... it communicates on a level independant of the descriptitve elements - literal or symbolic - of the imagery. It conveys emotional messages to its audiences and they 'feel' something about the client, service or product. It is just one of a range of non-verbal languages with which we are all familiar. We read these languages easily and make judgements based on the messages we pick up through them.

In this module you are required to explore the notion of visual language through a given topic and experiment with a variety of conceptual and visualising techniques. You will use this research to develop the second part of this brief.

By week twelve each student will be required to submit research, evidencing visual understanding of their topic and demonstrate the ability to generate and refine ideas. This could be in Director, Flash or traditional sketchbook format. please note the research is ongoing throughout the module and does not finish with week twelve.

This blog shall contain my initial research to begin with and shall then be expanded upon to contain the first of my ideas and then their required refinement and experimentation.

Enjoy.
