The real life (RL) network I chose for the composite image part of the assignment was music. The three stages of the networ are: singers creating the music, me listening to it, and people dancing to it (where ever that may be)...
 

Network Analysis

Category: , , By Robert McLeod 112
Having looked at many blogs in the Design 112 network this week, i can confidently say that the sites I found most appealing had simple templates where the layouts made the content easy to read through. There are many blogs on the web that fill up their page with images an videos in seemingly random and disorganised sizes and positions, which makes the world wide web a world wide mess, so it is relieving to see some tidy sites in this network! In particular look at Matt Eales, James Russell, Nathan Berrett. To view my comments click on my Archive.
 

The Sexy Project

Category: , By Robert McLeod 112
The dictionary definition of the word ‘sexy’ is: Arousing or tending to arouse sexual desire or interest. I was working on demonstrating the meaning of the word 'sexy' in the video by making the letters of this word seem sexy. This was done by slowly following the curves of the letters 's' and 'e' and the straight features of the 'x' and the 'y' in a seductive manor. The slow smooth movement of the video is strongly complimented by the song "let's get it on" by Marvin Gaye in the background, in an attempt to further demonstrate the meaning of the word sexy.

These guys are simply amazing. You must view this website! ALL of the work in their archive is visually appealing on so many levels. The colour schemes and illustrations come together to make amazingly complex compositions. Brandnu has done work for Xbox, Advanced Photoshop and, The KDU and more. This illustration is called forever young.

For this project we (the design101 students) had to choose a word or our choice, and describe the meaning of that word using only the letters that spell it. Our options were in no way limited, but I was looking for a word which I thought would be funny, as well something that I felt would be hugely different from what my other peers were doing. For this reason I decided to choose the word sexy. But as well as this I was exited by the challenge of trying to make letters seem sexy.
