What is design for screen?

The main thing I find interesting about this site is that if you are curious and want to know more you actually have to explore the website because the homepage doesn't really give much away. Its quite a clever way of getting people interested.

This is another pretty unique website that suits the style of the photographer. It has quite a comfortable feel reminding me of the quote 'home sweet home' and is quite easy to navigate round.

The main thing that draws me to this website is the fact the background of the homepage is actually a video. It makes the website a bit unique and gives it a very classy feel.

This website suits the fact its that of a photographers because its another where the audience is presented with the imagery created by the photographer straight away. The fact you click on the images to enter different areas makes it quite sophisticated.

I like the way how on this website you are presented with lachapelle's work straight away and it makes the site look vibrant and exciting. I also think its works really well being so large. To navigate aorund the site you have to run your mouse over the title, this another nice design feature.

I quite like this website because the colours make it fun and it suits its target audience well. Its also another one thats easy to navigate round and just looks visually interesting.

Apple itunes store
Another example of apples perfect design. Easy to navigate round, sophisticated modern design. The album covers work well on a white background because they stand out.

The concept behind this video is pretty simple and it amazed me how so much can be done in such a small space. I was kept occupied throughout the whole thing.

I found this video quite interesting because of the concept being the fact they've taken everyday objects to make it look like food, its been done really successfully and creatively.

Just because its simplistic, easy to use and so handy!

This is probably one of my favourite websites I've come across so far due to way it interacts with its audience and although in quite a simple way it occupies the mind very easily. 
When you first enter 'ana somnia' you are presented with an illustration of a girl in bed and you are asked to turn out your lights because the website interacts with the light in your room via webcam. In doing so the girl goes to sleep because she's aware its now dark and you are able to watch her dreams appear, usually different each time. Once you turn your lights on again she wakes up. Its such a simplistic, yet brilliantly creative designed website.

Another example of style and sophistication that matches the place its representing. The cleanliness of the design is very 'feel good' and would definitely make people consider staying there.

This is another website that very much fits in with what its selling/presenting. I liked the fact the home page is presented 'on a notepad' and has quite a stylish background. Its quite attractive. 

What is design for screen?

I liked this website because it fits the style of the place its representing, its elegant and stylish but it presents itself to be simplistic and far from over the top which makes it easy to view.

Itunes visualiser
Part of apples design such a simplistic concept can entertain for a while. The colour and the pattern of the visualiser are mesmerising in a sense.

This video was created to promote a type of wine, the ad is quite sophisticated which means it suites its target audience. It keeps the audience entertained because its very visually engaging. 

What is design for screen?

I find websites that have a central layout such as this a lot more visually interesting because it looks neat and well thought out.

The image is the one thing that stands out on this website for me because the whole angle and style is just generally nice to look at. The overall site is simplistic and fits the contemporary label of the art gallery its been produced for. 

What is design for screen?

I think the apple website is quite clever in the sense that the images take up most of the page so you can't really miss them and also the fact the products look almost 3D so that the audience could touch them, it somehow makes them more desirable.

I think that this stop motion is really clever and its engaging because it changes instead of being one continuous subject and it creates a story.

I like this music video because it stands out from all the others, its done something different and makes it more interesting to watch overall. Its nice that the band haven't made themselves the main focus of the video and creates a positive impact on them. 

What is design for screen?


This is one of my favourite stop motions because its so visually engaging due to the colour and just the fact a simple idea has been made so great. The music has a massive impact because it makes it quite 'feel good'.

This is a colour wheel i researched online so that I could see exactly how many types of violet there are and also so that I don't move into another section of colour too much.

Collection 100 further research.










Research presentation feedback. 


100 positive words to describe glasses.


Peoples opinions on wearing glasses.

Attempt at 50 negative words. 

General research into eyes and glasses.

After having the research presentation, the feedback I got enabled me to focus my idea and begin to think about what direction i'd like to take my project in. The idea behind collecting the positive words was to make my project less literal and more interesting. This brought me to the conclusion they would be part of my final piece.
