DBA / Last meeting / Presentation Preparation

OUGD603 / EXTENDED PRACTICE
LAST GROUP MEETING.
FINAL PREPARATIONS.


Today we all gathered together and spent the whole day working together to ensure we had everything we needed in regards to the presentation as well as making sure that our visuals and applications were resolute enough.

Firstly we showed each other visuals we had developed over the last couple of days.



Mel had been working on way finding within the train station its self.

Adam had been creating visuals that looked at alternative transport within the city.

Charlie looked at visuals regarding the interior of the train.

Grace had also looked at alternative transport within the city as well as visuals that could be present in and around each city.

I showed the rest of the group what I had done regarding Liverpool visuals as well as uniforms.

Adam also mocked up some poster designs that used the designated colours as well as the chevron and map shapes. The posters look amazing, espesially all together. they are very impactful and intriguing and would defiantly catch peoples eyes.

We all gathered and looked at what we had in regards to material and started to talk about other things we could possibly do with. We also started to put together out presentation and look at how it could flow.


Melissa and I decided to mock up an escalator because we thought this would be a cool platform for a bit of branding as we could utilise the movement an escalate has.

Adam also mocked up some barriers for the station because we realised we didn't have such an image.

Grace and Charlie started to put together the presentation by looking at the order and flow. Grace also create a mood board that we could have present at the beginning and the end of the presentation to bring outs solution full circle.

 Melissa and I made this mock up for the escalator (with a little help from Adam and his photoshop skills!). We had the gradient gradually change as it lead down the steps. this is so that when the stair rotate up and down the gradient changes giving a really cool and futuristic effect. We also added in the chevron shape which can act as a way finding method indicating the direction of the stairs and well as in keeping with our aesthetic.

Adam created this mock up of the barriers which looked awesome as the gradient flowed from one end to the other. I think this worked a lot better then just dressing each turnstile individually.

Grace created this mood board which embodied our whole ethos and identity, showing what we were looking to achieve and how.





LAST DAY PREPARATIONS.

Before we left we set each other a couple more jobs that needed sorting out before the presentation.

I was to come up with a role call for the presentation for who would say what and when. We had already discussed this briefly today so we could get a feel for who was comfortable talking about what.

Grace and Adam would finish up the presentation and we would all think of what we wanted and needed to say about each section making sure we had key points that would explain our concept and how it has been applied.

I also opted to create a moving version of the posters that Adam had created. I planned on doing this by creating a GIFF.
