Radical Ideas - Inspiration

So, since Steve mentioned going to visit the Women in Revolt Exhibition to understand examples of radical ideas, I went. However, funny story I went with a few classmates and we went to the wrong art gallery but in the end we made it in time before it closed. Since we rushed from Tate Modern to Tate Britain, we ended up arriving before our appointed time so we just explored the place. Here's some pics I took of the ones that interested me, or I guess were particularly peculiar?





Now is some of the pics I took from the Women in Revolt Exhibition, I actually really liked these, I thought they were pretty funny from the lady being a car and running people down to just puns on an image reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh. Out of all of these I actually quite liked the overalls as a piece, it had a symbolism, it was easy to understand and it was actually quite cool. Apparently it's meant to show how the overalls are filled with different objects representing different tasks that women had to do back in the day.




Oh and I found an image of an elephant too, the simplistic shape just really caught my eye.


Overall, I would rate this a 'I don't quite understand' out of 10. Hopefully this would improve as I attend more art galleries.

Videos

 Am now working on my videos, which I thought was only 2, promo and documentation but was actually 3, the walkthrough. I found some audio to go with my videos and even created the YouTube Branding page. Since realising that I forgot about the documentation video *whoops*, I have spent the time perfecting my images and website designs recording myself to use for materials for the video. Not quite sure how I plan to approach it but I figure I can do it like how I've been doing my blogs, personal and straight to the point.

Evaluative Post

In assignment 2, the project titled "Elephant" aims to raise awareness about the endangerment of African elephants through an interactive website featuring a written novel. Each chapter of the novel can be read numerically or at random and will incorporate information about African elephants and links to support organizations. Readers can scroll through the website, encountering occasional photography and illustrations as they progress through the story. Personally, I believe that the approach of using a novel on a website to bring attention towards animal endangerment is an interesting idea, and it certainly reaches out to a broader audience. Perhaps, I was not thorough enough with my research nevertheless I have not found any website with the same exact concept. Websites raising awareness by showcasing animals or just storytelling websites in general certainly exist, but one containing a novel leading up to information on the subject has not come up while I was searching....

Website Redesign

Image
Found my website rather hideous after adding some of the contents, so I am now doing some redesigning. I figured I may even change my menu since I find it very unaesthetically (if that's a word) pleasing. The ones on top are the previous menu designs and I decided to go for something slimmer and sleeker and less in your face. I'm quite happy with this new design, it's out of the way but at the same time easy to access. I also researched some more websites to reference and take inspiration from, my classmates have been particularly helpful in providing advice on the design aspect. Obviously they suggested Pinterest, but I find myself still having trouble figuring out the design I want to go for. At times I even feel like my colour palette no longer suits the feel I was going for, but I'm rather hesitant to change it.  By the way here are some storytelling websites I have found as reference for myself: https://www.aftermetoo.com/  https://mirror-planet.world/  https://imm...
