In relation to the previous lecture we had on design and emotion. I was set the task of creating a visual transformation from one word to another in the process of nine stages, similar to a storyboard. This was to show the transformation between two stages, for instance happy and sad. This process would be show through illustrations or text. I decide that I would create a timeline crossing the seasons, spanning across two years. This is because I wanted to explore how I could slightly change the second season to give the message that somethings change while others stay the same. I was looking for a simple expression to create a strong emotive response, because I fins that design works rather well that way.
The simples forms of communication work best for me personally, and if a message is kept simple, I tend to find that it translates rather well. I decided that I would only include one type of colour for each season throughout the sequence, to enhance the simplicity of the design.
I thought that this seminar was quite relaxed and allowed for myself to better concentrate on producing a concept that would for the idea of design and emotion. I believe that the best design invokes a bittersweet sort of emotion.
