Applying the new graphic language to the website design

Main Inspiration
Sounds of the City – Thalys Rosapark captured the sound identities of Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, and integrated them into three outdoor installations. Each city was represented by over 1000 sounds. Each sound had a unique headphone jack, and these days, most pedestrians carry a pair of headphones and were able to stop and interact…

Peer Assesment
Half way through the project we had to fill in peer assessments, our individual coaching and upload them to the blog
3-D building making
I have never used Maya before so it was a new software to learn to allow me to make the buildings. I used a mix of pre-made objects sourced from online along with learning and teaching myself to make buildings and objects to match the style. It is half sourced and half designed by myself….

3-D printing testing
Kaj and I began 3-D printing the models to see if the design where feasible, affordable, the designs worked and be used for the models for all teirs of our installation . With this I learned when creating the designs, that I should not have things extruding to much and to have very little to…
Design Document
For the Design Document I used the MoSCoW method to figure out what the core of our concept is and what is optional. I also made a State Transition Diagram to show what kind of states our installation will have and how and when the installation switches from state to state. The rest also worked…
Giving the installation hierarchy
We then decided to have the installation maps stylized, and not based on measurement but more focusing on figures that give a personality to the place they are based on. We want to add more visual interest through having them on raised layers and create more of a hierarchy.
Old Graphic Language
I was not entirely sure how to start the graphic language of the design so I began by creating vectors of the main buildings in Enschede. I am debating on using either Poppins or Karla for the fonts, using google fonts so it can be applied throughout the website.
