the sleighbells have stopped ringing

so the big christmas hooha is subsiding, and new year's day is looming. and with it follows the recommencement of classes..GARGH! i think i've settled myself into this cushy holiday mood waaayyyy too deep. *SMACK* oi...krystal! wake up!!!

lemme take a look at my very dusty group work sketchbook...a recap of the last discussion after tutorial:

  • no need title above image, speech bubble from cup is sufficient.
  • overall mood to be minimalistic and poetic. main color: off white, cream or beige to keep it neutral so as not to contrast too much with different colored cups.
  • overall style to be doodle and sticker collage.
  • speech bubble writing should reflect character of cup (e.g. cursive writing (?) for traditional cup, kid's scribble for kid's cup)
  • background to be monochromatic photograph to avoid snatching attention from cup
  • content text to be poetic, can be a quote relates to cup characteristic
  • instead of a speech bubble, text can be "splashed" out of cup. (e.g. coffee splashes out with text out of a traditional porcelain teacup, while juice splashes out with text from a kid's plastic mug)
  • incorporate sounds (from tapping cups) into buttons
  • incorporate a range of sounds (from tapping cups) on different images of cups on main page so that when mouse rolls over, user can create own tune, just for fun and attraction?
  • on concept page, text spills out of cup when mouse rolls over. this page is to elaborate on the objective of the field guide.
before next meeting, i am to...
  • come up with poetic description of environment and atmosphere, and the text for 'speech bubble'
  • develop a doodling style
  • short description of myself for "who?" page + 5 doodles of objects that reflect me.
  • write concept page content.
woah better get crackin' krystal... u are WAAAAYYYYYYYYYY behind schedule. procrastination has gotten the better of me. gurgh!
