Presentation explaining my ideas.

1. PROTOTYPES
Exploring ideas – Generating a range of possible ideas
and outcomes tackling my design problem.

2. Brief
■ For my brief I decided I’d create a poster/video (Yet to confirm), exploring the impact
of the war for possibly;
■ A Charity fund for aid for current war victims.
■ Graphics Firm exploring the impact on the war – in comparison to the rise in
technology
The second possibly of creating a video, I could incorporate motion graphics into the
piece.

3. Ideas about the brief
■ The idea for the brief initially came from my research
into both my non-contemporary artists.
■ Paul Nash who was aWarArtist & Hans Holbein who
was HenryVIII’s Painter. Both had to communicate
something, for different reasons, Nash had to
communicate theWar, in comparison to Holbein who
had to portray leading figures.
■ They were both affected by some war, and both were
communicating something through there work.The
idea of communications has developed increasingly
through the use of media and graphic work, to convey
this. For this I wanted to create some kind of graphics
or motion graphic video.

4. Prototype 1
First idea I did was exploring the effects on the war looking at the actual
devastation caused by the war. I created a quick test poster, showing a
juxtaposition between a city not directly effected by the war, compared to a
city ‘in the thick of it’.
I then applied a layer mask, so it clips into this shape I created using inks, to
represent the psychological affects the war may have on people.Atop of a
ripped torn paper to represent the destruction.
As this is just a prototype I didn’t exactly feel like I carried across what I
wanted to convey but generally suggested what I wanted displayed to carry
across the idea – and to help generate more ideas possibly.

5. Prototype 2
The second design, I used mainly to
experiment with font or in correct terms
‘emotive language’, combined with imagery.
This design exploring was again a poster
design, trailing different effects to carry
across a emotive response.

6. Prototype 3
■ The third idea, was to create a video combining the prototypes incorporating video as
well as motion graphics.
■ The idea was to combine some historic video clips, with emotive language. Influences
from aid videos, and historic documentaries. Possibility of combining all 3 prototypes
into one, using elements from each.
