For the first brief I created a modern day Art Deco type face which could be used in the context of a modern cafe that is inspired by the art deco movement and french inspired design. I first started off with trying to think how I could use visual effects in order to make the design modern, however I did not like the effect this gave it and therefore looked at ways I could add the modern edge to it by editing the structured rules which are with Art Deco. This worked as it gave the type a classic but more edgy look which could be used in the context of a modern day cafe. However, I could have worked with the lowercase letters more as I found this difficult to do through vectors and image trace. I would have liked to also look at ways to edit the letters through visual effects on photoshop, however as I was editing the type, I thought that the Art Deco style worked well and I didnt want to complicate the type as I also wanted it to be stylish and inspired by the Art Deco Design. 

I found that the second brief was more complicated for me to do as I had lots of ideas for the website, but I was unsure how to actually do this. I also thought that my time keeping for this brief was not very organised as I spent too long on perfecting the type and did not allow myself enough time to get the brief how I wanted it. I started off with the idea of the office which was an approach which I was excited about and I started to get ideas of what the game could be. However, working with vectors did not work as well as I had wanted and therefore I simplified the idea in order to get the animated look of the website. I could have used more time on the app as I think that I could have made the app different to the website as looking at them both, they are too similar and I think I should have spent more time working on the individual app, rather than the poster. I am happy with the poster and the graphics, it was a simple idea which works with the website and app. However, the background and the graphics are the same. I would have liked to work more on the Einstein graphic and give it more of an animated look as it looks like it is chalk drawn, however, this could have been better on the website. Overall, I was happy with the graphics and the interactive design of the website, app and poster, however, I could have managed time better and not spent as long on the typography in order to edit the website and app in a more complicated way, although I am happy with the look of them and the graphics. 

Final Website Design

I am happy with the website design and the idea of a game and interactive website works well with the audience of the GCSE student. I wanted to create a simple colour theme and didn’t want to complicate the website as this would not have worked with the audience and the subject of the theory of relativity. 

I have edited the graphics so that they look sleaker on the page and the layout has been adjusted to make the website easier to use. I think this works well and the design is simple but effective for GCSE students to use. 

Einstein’s Achievements Poster

For the poster and Inforgraphic I have done a timeline of Einstein’s achievements. The first three boxes explain the scientific facts which are based around Light, Earth and Gravity. I wanted to show each fact with a representation of a graphic. The same Einstein graphic is there and this is clear that it is shown on the website and the app. I wanted to create the background as though it is from the game on the website and this could also be a feature of the website and app with the game. 

I did each graphic from scratch aside from the Einstein one which was from the Noun Project as I thought that this worked well and looked interesting on the page. 

I am happy with the look of the poster and infographic and the blackboard theme, the information is presented in a way the audience will understand and there is bright graphics which work with the facts. 

The Final App Design

I have finalised the app design and I have created mock ups to see what the product would look like. I have edited a few things with the graphic and layout of the app and am happy with the look of the app and the style. 

I am happy with the way the app looks as it is a simple style which is bold and works with the website design with the character graphic and the colour scheme. 

First Draft

This is an example of the activities which will be on the website. I created this first with 3D graphics of the red boxes which the audience will press to find the clue to the theory. The character graphic is also there and narrates the instructions to the activity. 

Second Draft

The 3D boxes and speech bubble did not look right on the blackboard background and therefore, I created these chalk drawn boxes which suit the theme more on the website. I have also added the original character graphic. 

I think that the second draft looks better with the theme and the graphics work well to suit the website and the subject.
