Flock Adjustments

First three rounds of designs:




I will be moving forward with this one because of its style and color pallet that better lends itself to the sub-culture. 



Next Class:
As many screens finished as possible. Chip away at it. Show progress.

Keynote Order:

Context Shot: Person at an urban chicken meet up where they mention that everyone should rsvp for the events / specific workshop upcoming about local legislation.
iTunes Store w/ three screens and icon. 
iPhone w/icon displayed. 
Flock loading screen. 
Outline loading screen comparison to show what it would look like for a new user.
Home Screen.
Profile (user view) - explains the large year buttons being there. Only the user see's their own profile this way? Maybe its fine but this is an option. 
Profile - edited by user / updated experience level. 
Events.
Events Details.
RSVP Conformation Popup.
Context Shot: Maybe at the end.
iTunes might be at the end. 


Things to build out still: 
Icon, iTunes Page, Context shot, iPhone screen, Outline loading screen, rsvp conf screen.

Adjustments to Flock:

Buttons are too small in many places. The year range for example. Remember Homer Simpson fingers.
Profile Screen - Remember you can scroll down to view more of the profile and decompress the rest of it.
Use the same image in every background until finished. That is the image created by the person.
BKGD change is now in the profile screen.
Show some kind of blank on how it would look (IF) my user persona wasn't an pre-existing user.
RSVP button now comes with a conformation pop up. The presentation ends after this page with a image of it being used at a urban chicken meet up that they found through the application. This will show how it fulfilled a purpose.

Designer Toy Collection Website Three Directions

Direction #1 - Vinyl Monsters
"A collection of creative creatures"

Vinyl Monsters, utilizes a roll over navigation that shifts from archer regular to bold on mouse over. The homepage features the complete collection of vinyl toys heads alone. On mouse over the full body would appear. This theme is also serving as a test for use of the drop shadow on my vectors and some aspects of information display for example the collector information. My header typeface is Spring. The little monster image in the header is taken from the face of the Superdeux Dunny which happens to be the most popular of those in my collection. 

Note for Marty: Personally I'm really questioning the use of the heads alone for a roll over. I think a drop shadow on mouse over or something simular might be more visually pleasing and not as harsh. I really like the use of drop shadow but I think I just have to be really careful with the amount of it that I use. Thanks for letting us submit the work this way so we can attend the workshop. I'm looking forward to your feedback. 






Direction #2 - Plastic Planet
"A collection of designer toys"

Plastic Planet, is about the collection as a whole. Plastic referencing the primary material that designer toys are made out of and planet to tell the user that there are many toys to look into on this site. The header typeface is Ribbon, and the other copy is futura book, and bold. After creating this one I have decided that I think two rows of toys works better than three. 

Home screen. This particular concept does not utilize a roll over image function like the concept below.

Direction #3 - Unboxed Ltd. (Unboxed Limited)
"Unleash your vinyl side"

Unboxed Ltd. is a direct relation to the unboxing of a designer toy the first time you purchase and open the box. Typically designer toys come in blind assortments which makes certain ones much rarer than others. Which is why included limited. This is much of the appeal of designer toys. The hunt. Hence the limited colors. Most sites that I have researched in the process of this project utilize a formula some what simular to this. Lots of white space and black text. Max contrast with the bright imagery.This concept is supposed to be the tough guy / i'm a bad ass kind of concept. You have to drink a red bull to even open the page. Maybe I can do that through HTML5 or augmented reality... haha.
