Design for my website

I decided to combine the idea of stripes with the circle, I created this on Photoshop. I have used just black and white as I think its bold and simple.

Rough plan


Web Design

Online portfolio design ideas.




These are some of my design ideas for my website. I liked the idea of stripes to create bold, stylish design and I also liked the idea of using circles instead of the usual boxes for a layout.

I was inspired by the design used for the titles of 'The Culture Show'.

Mood Board

















I have collected images from the internet and used some of my own to create this mood board on Photoshop. I've made this to inspire me when creating my website. I have used images of things I like such as films, music and art as well as fonts which I find interesting like 'Rude Tube' which is made up of cubes of different videos.

eXistenZ


Narrative: The film constantly switches between the game world and reality but we are never quite sure what is real. It is full of twists, at the end we find out that the whole story relating to eXistenZ is part of the game transCendenZ. The characters are absorbed into a world they accept, they believe is real that they can do what they want, but in doing so they begin the question reality.

Interactivity: The film is constantly making us think, we are taken into the concept from the very start of the film and we are the ones who are questioning what is real or not. The fact we are unsure what is real makes the us feel tense, we have no idea whether getting killed in the game world could easily be in reality. The film makes us question the world we live in, how do we know it's real? a very similar concept in 'The Matrix'.

Convergence: The convergence of reality and fantasy can be overwhelming and confusing. We have to think more about the film than being about the relax watching it.
