Thoughts and Thinking’s

Right, I have an idea in mind for my showcase/box but don’t know if it’s too simple (in style that is), as far as my identity goes I can confirm that I am not simple! So do I need to change this to suit the projects brief? Not to make things difficult or to state what I have in mind is wrong, but to show as part of my identity I’m not a simple person! Well I guess it is up to me of what decision I make and besides it is the first idea I had come up with, so more development is needed anyway. I suppose it would make more sense to develop this Idea I have in mind and to do a lot more research in this area.

Logo- I had already designed a logo, but I was told to design another, which I don’t mind doing. It gives me the chance to develop another series of logos that become more ideal to me and the project. My logo has not yet been used or seen, so what I’m thinking to do anyway is keep the name of the logo and just incorporate different shapes, styles, compositions along with colour.

Showcase/box ideas- overall I think that this part of the project will be the most difficult sector to achieve, as it becomes the most important part to represent our ideas/elements. It has to be eye catching and attractive, entertaining and meaningful whilst also creating an environment that somehow represents you.

For some reason I want the use of dices shown in my showcase, I must admit I am obsessed with the objects and some how they need to be included! They have no purpose really, apart from me being obsessed with their existence. I had developed a logo for myself in the past, which included dices and could some how use it by incorporating it into the showcase/box idea, well…actually I have come up with an idea already and will definitely develop this to see what will happen and if it will be relevant for the project.

Avatar- I have designed a few characters of myself before, so I shouldn’t really have any problems when it comes to creating another, matter of fact, I have created a few other designs already, and I like quite a selection of them. The only problem I will have is representing it as a 3D character! I also have to think about my avatars behaviour to portrait my personality, in which I am thinking to create some kind of story.

Mind-maps- a few mind maps were created just to confirm an outline of myself. The first mind map was just to indicate what identity and personality meant to me, whilst also stating their definition. I wrote down some words that can becomes apart of the identity package, such as nicknames, interests, lifestyle and birthmark/s. Stating these areas, using all of them will be over doing it for my character I think, so what I intend to do is choose the one’s that defines me the most and develop their positions.

Another mind map I created was about me being described by others, using key words that most described me visually and physically. Recreating this mind map I separated it into two areas one area completed by people that are closer to me and seem to know me well (Family), the other, I had asked a few people at football (NTU) what they thought about me and jotted these down, making a mind map from it after.

Mood board- my first mood board is just combined with a series of things I like and what identifies me as a person. The next one I will create will define emotion, style and an understanding of how I work, and how I am portrayed. I will also create another mood board for my showcase/box, just to get some ideas of what I might include in the showcase/box and obviously include its theme/environment style.
