Hey ho, Skye here again and today I am TOTALLY bringin’ the sexy back* mmm hmm!
This is MK12′s video and the inspiration for our project. This rocks, am I right? Totally!
We finally got an excellent book which Sergio interlibrary-loaned: Public Spaces Public Life by Jan Gehl and Lars Gemzoe. SO SEXY. Graphs and info and charts, oh my!
Our project look is coming together now. Thanks to my quite perceptive partner, we have this color inspiration study based on the MK12 video and some other colors that he likes.
Nice!
So I took this, merged it with our first draft and made a palette out of it.
Yummy!
An established palette is much more important than you’d maybe think, especially for two people working on one project together. Sergio and I have our individual strengths and come at things from different directions (which is really excellent in a project like this, in my opinion). The most important and immediate way to unify a visual project is to use color. In this way we can each work on what we feel is relevant and when we go to synthesize the disparate elements – each element clicks right into the picture in any number of ways and places, no problem! Art Direction from the beginning: I’m a True Believer all right. Wait until you see our final result and you’ll be a fan too.
So now Team Cykelnauts is all about gathering all the MANY details into one place and then we’re going to start mucking about in them with metaphorical fingerpaints, popsicle sticks, glue, stickers and sparkles (AKA Illustrator, After Effects and Flash). For grate justus! W00t!
