Website Finalization and Project Presentation

-
Having completed my article, I started to think of how to display my writing. I also reconsidered the fonts used in my website and I decided change them from 'Futura' to 'Reklame script' and 'Palatino Linotype' because I want to distinguish the 'About me' title from the rest of the writing. Palatino Linotype is slightly sharper and I think it looks more like a newspaper/media typography .



The initial idea was to use flip book to display my article. After Nixon told me he would use a flip book for his article about football I pictured it and I thought it was suitable because many news about football are or were presented in newspapers and magazines. However I have never seen a feature article in a newspaper, so I didn't think that recreating a newspaper using a flip book would be a good idea after all. When I did my research on The Guardian I looked on how the features were presented to have a better perspective. I eventually chose to create a subpage to my portfolio page and this page will display the article itself. I added buttons that link the subpage which I named 'Feature article'  to the portfolio page. The buttons shows 'view more' in the portfolio page and 'back to articles' in the subpage.


 



I decided to use a table or grid from 'add' which I could customize to show the title and introduction to the article. I added a picture of a plane crash found on Unsplash because I did not want to repeat the pictures I shot since they will be on the subpage. As I mentioned before, the 'view more' will transfer to the article itself. Then, another button 'back to articles' will return to the portfolio page.


             I have deleted the Feedback page, and now the website is ready for the article.

Project Sign Off: Prada's Multiple Views

-
Image
Last Tuesday, scrolling down my Instagram feed, I see Prada posting on Instagram a series of videos titled as Multiple Views in chapters from 1-5. These short films were created to showcase the Spring/Summer 2021 collection in a technologic and surreal way, how Miuccia Prada sees the world today- her vision for the "post-pandemic fashion market" (Madsen, 2020). Chapter 4 - Prada Multiple View Spring/Summer 2021 Chapter 4 was a obvious response to the world of today. Models were placed in different seating rows inside the theater due to social distancing with screens, mobiles, and virtual realty everywhere. A music that is almost scary, resembling horror films and staring looks all suggest the effects of technology and the digital era. Martine Syms, the photographer of chapter 4 created this video with the intention of showing what it feels like to live in these lockdown/digital times “I’m inspired by the way screens have come to make and unmake us, and what it means

Sequential photography made by me (individually)

My initial ideas on this task were to create a set of sequential images that had a deeper meaning compared to the set we created as classwork. I came up with the idea to shoot a set of sequential images whilst giving money to a man in need. I decided to place the action of giving the money halfway through the images because I wanted to create a sort of narrative within the images. In this way, I was able to show the difference in the man's expression before having the money and after having the money. As you can see below, I drew a storyboard sketch to demonstrate my initial idea. Storyboard sketch: Process of Editing: I took the pictures with my phone and I changed the original color to a black&white filter using my camera settings.  Then, I edited the brightness of each photo to a higher level still using the camera settings on my phone.                                                                               I chose the pictures that
