Context 3 Images V.2

Here are the images , my purpose was to really  emphasise  the feeling of viewing these images through  old television set. these images will be placed in a custom television box that i am in the process of creating in  a similar vein to my old images.

Xmas Holidays - I Wish

So the xmas holidays are here , a time of rest and sleep. Not in my case , apart from working in retail which is the worse at xmas , i had taken upon my myself to develop my context 3 images over the xmas holidays , so far i have done two out of five, and  portray the 8it gaming theme better than the ones perviously posted.

I will be posting the two images later tonight.

Client Project Complete

Research Project

An interesting diagram which shows the rise of mobile technology and communication in the workplace which is what i am discussing in my research project  

Client Project 98% -Done.

i have pretty much finished my client for this term and i am pleased with the way it has turned out , although i decided to change the layout of the website halfway into this process, but i believe it does meet my own personal brief of having a clean simple website.  below are zoomed out screenshots of the website , and don't take notice of the coloured boxes ,as i am in the process of  creating logo's and finding good quality pictures for the staff pages.

Below are the four main pages of the website , with four more pages within the staff page , the home page kind of resembles back to the old wire frame i did back last month of having two main containers side by side with each other , but instead of having a mission statement , i decided to have the navigation there.  I believe this create an instant calmness , putting the user at ease , rather an bombarding them information on the page.

I have learned from the mistakes of the last solo project i did , and stupidly not having the HTML page in HTML 5 , ALL the pages are up the HTML 5 and CSS3 Standard. i will be validating the pages on Thursday evening 

below are the responsive pages , i have used media queries in order to make it responsive and i have only made it responsive for the Ipad only and not any smartphone devices , the reasoning behind this is because the type of people viewing this website will not be casually browsing via a mobile device such as the iPhone or android , which most people do from a smartphone device 

i will adding finishing touches here and there to really make the website good ,but the bulk of it has been finished.

Coding development - Staff Pages

just finishing off the staff pages , little minor annoyance as i couldn't get the H1 tags to respond to the margin movement so i have had to put the staff names in the P Tags

Code Development -ATRG

Now that context 3 is finally out of the way , i can fully steam ahead with client and research , its been a long day but i have made progress on the site , i have pretty much finished with the home and about page , and just finished off one of the many staff pages  i shall be doing. the contact page will be in the bottom of the footer

Context 3 Submitted

Just submitted context 3 and it has one of the most confusing briefs i have ever encountered am just hoping that i didn't make a massive mistake and get marked down massively

Updated Context 3 Image

I have made changes to one of the final images

New Portfolio Website -

Just in case , you haven't seen the theme for my website , there it is , still a LONG way from being ready , hoping ready to launch in the new year.

The reason why i am showing this i, is because i wanted to demonstrate the flow and cohesion between my website , my context 3 images and my business cards (when they get made) so when the final exhibition comes along , the will be a grand design.

    

Context 3 Images - 8BIT Wonder

Below are some of my context three images , as you can see , i have gone with a 8it classic NES style to portray my abilities and skills , the reason why have chosen this type of design , is apart from being a devoted gamer , the design fits in with the design of my new website which should be launching in the new year. Enjoy.

i still haven't finished two of the images , and the responsive design image still needs work , you get the idea that am going for, vintage gaming and vintage look.

Development - ATRG

Haven't posted in awhile , but have been hard at work , doing this website , i have made major progress on the home and some on the about page , below is a screenshot of the home page in its current state

 And here it is the slider with a few tester images , here i am just testing whether the transparent images work on the slider which they do.

Coding Development - ATRG

 Again I have changed around the layout of the design , I think I am finally happy with this design to be honest for the home page. 

Coding Development - ATRG

                                                               

As you can see , I have decided to change the layout of the website , the reason being I wanted to feel more of the empty space surrounding the main body wrappe

r. 

Just a quick update ,on the background , here I am using , CSS3 to make the background responsive since am using an image as a background  

Coding Development - ATRG

So I began coding today , basing my wire-frame on the designs that I did previously but as I began coding the website there was something wrong with the feel of the site, it seemed empty , maybe this feeling will pass on, but at the moment I can’t shake the feeling that there is too much negative space.               

Wireframe Development - ATRG

I have also been developing the wireframes of the site , to see which one is best suited for this client project , I think the key to this is brief is to keep it simple , the type of user that will access the site , will not want to play around with an over developed interface.  

i have tired to implement my logo designs to the prototypes aswell.

Logo Development - ATRG

Over the past two days I have been really cracking on the development of the project , in this case I have been creating different logos for the ATRG , as I said in my presentation , I believe that when you think of ATRG , and the work they undertake , you cannot help think of the future and that is what I have tried to implement in my designs.

Design 1

With this first design I wanted to emphasize the symbols of the research group loud and vibrant , the problem with this design which I perceived straight away is the fact that the letters after the large letters are very small and would be hard to read.

To solve this problem I could move the letters closer together and make the lettering after the “ATRG” much bigger but I like the amount of spacing in-between the letters and I feel if I move the lettering closer together then , it would seem cluttered and not achieve the clean logo I want to achieve.

Design 2

I wanted to experiment with my second design , so this design is more of a high concept idea then the pervious , I have gone for a more unusual layout aswell, by having the lettering at an angle, also on reflection , I wanted to implement the science factor more into my design , so I created guidelines at either side of the logo.

Design 3

This design is more hasn't got much changes from design 1 , just slight changes such the brightness of the logo , which I had added an outer and inner glow , and I have also blurred out the guidelines at the sides of the logo to give a more 3d Effect on the logo.

Design 4

Again I wanted to develop the science aspect much more then in design 3 , so I decided to add “wiring” to my logo design , and I like the effect that it brings to the image , but again I feel that it is too cartoonish and not the clean cooperate image I wanted.

. 

Design 5

Again , just more development on the design , this time I added a patchwork effect in an attempt to play to the “textiles” aspect of the group.

Design 6

This is more of the style of logo I am trying to achieve, I believe it strikes a perfect balance between high concept design and corporate importance, I wanted to keep the design simple and the typeface clean , the line I have running through the middle of the logo plays a vital role in the design linking the A,R and the G.
