NMD 206 Final Project

class presentation: (5-7 minutes)

TIPS:
-be sure your presentation is clear, concise and brief

going through the grand revealing of my project ( a post that has done previously ) will take up time and putting in more of my own intuitive sight on the whole scenario I’m trying ot create will also take care of a lot of this time period, along side of presenting and explaining each poster.

-focus on the highlights of your work and 3 topics below

The highlights of my work are the underlying inspirations for each peace and how each interpreted poster can be transformed into a board graphic that can be had for years and shown to as many people as possible.

-use your website/blog as you need to show product, process, or learning.

consider it done.

Part 1 What did you make?

-begin on your blog page for your project. this page should clearly state what the project is, with photos or video, and possibly a link to a page where the project actually resides if the project is a web-based project. For an example see: http://lindsayheald.wordpress.com/release/

-show your full project
Lindsey’s was a full website with the front interface for the RidesForMe project; yours might be a T-shirt, or video, or chalk board

My website blog and posters to show for the project.

-be sure you have addressed the following: research, tools, content, format, peers, audience. While you may not show these pages, they will help you with parts 2 & 3  of this presentation.

Part 2: How did you make it?

-describe the original goal, challenges, how you met the challenges, and what you ended up with.

My original idea was posted before as an approach/intent, but I’ll catch you readers up to speed with a short version. Since I’ve been snowboarding I’ve seen what a great conversation starter snowboards and skis can spark on a lift ride with their graphics alone. What an easy window to take advantage of and place meaningful designs for communication between people of all demographics who do the same activity. At first I was going to do 6 posters and 1 board rendition of a poster–but I felt such a disconnect from the snowboard theme that I transferred my idea to 3 posters and each poster’s key components that really represented the message was then transferred to the board silhouette to represent it’s own board design as well. Ending product with 6 posters.

-what tools, software, filters, helpers etc did you use to achieve your goals?

I used Adobe Illustrator to render out my ideas and found inspiration from already existing websites or color schemes to guide me through to my final products.

Part 3: What did you learn?

-what was your original question or inspiration?

The question is and always will be, how can we most accurately and intriguingly represent the cause or person in a aesthetically pleasing design that can be applied to whatever the customer/product needs to be communicated.

-what did your research, creative work or assessment of audience teach you?

Research amongst many snowboard sites such as EVO.com Burton.com K2.com to guide me towards previous designs that have made it to the top along with listening to the customers requests and requirements is what really lead me to find ease in my final renditions of posters/board designs.

-what do you know now that you didn’t before your project? & -how have you grown?

Even if there is a steady plan laid out ready to be executed, emotions and needs need to be listened to intuitively as a designer so that your ending products show the heart and care that was put into the final products.
