BLOGGING
REFLECT
How could you use your GIFs?
What are the key ideas from your research that you want to use? Why?

SPECULATE
What will you do next? How else could you use collage? Sketch out 4 more initial ideas

RESEARCH
Where will you look next? Why?
Who else has solved or worked on similar problems?

CONTEXTUALISE
What designers’ practice or design theories 
àdesigners’ ideas, why they designed that cover

Experiment with:
Collage
Digital illustration 
Hand drawn illustration
Photography:
Make something and photographing in on site
Objects arranged and photographed in a studio (e.g. Peter Nencini) 
Typography only
Digital
Hand drawn
·        
Ideas:
Map the venues of concerts?
What typeface can u use?
Draw in excel? 
*peter nencini àcollect objects, photograph them very simply àrelate to genre?
*Jeremy deller acid houseàmind map(connections) àfamily tree? àconnect the two songs that I chose?

Make somethingàphotograph it in a special placeà
Make a grid out of your research àdistorted grids? 
Color of the paper stock can be the third colour
Draw out a numbed face (outer sleeve)
Happy and sad face (inner sleeve)

Research àfind a key word àdistortion 
On a piece of square, create 10 images GIF that communicates the meaning of that words. Use collage only 

Square format for photographing use 

Today, we all made our own 10 frames collage gif. This will be one of the initial ideas of the sleeve. I used distortion as my key word for making the collage. I cut out black paper strips and placed them horizontally on a white paper as the background. I then moved the positions of them every time a take one photo so that a distorted effect will be created in the GIF. As for the foreground, i used coloured balls. I place one ball randomly on the paper and repositioned them in each photo to represent our emotions going up and down along with the beats. The balls are of different sizes to represent out heartbeats.



The black strips can be sound waves of the beats?
