:GLOBALISATION_PROJECT [brief]:

As part of our visual studies module we have been given a topic that we are to research with the objective being to create an interactive piece of multimedia. My subject is Globalisation and this blog will be recording my research and idea refinment and development.

Below is the brief more or less....

Visual language is the 'look and feel' of an item of design - created by such elements as colour, proportion, letterform, shape, texture... it communicates on a level independant of the descriptitve elements - literal or symbolic - of the imagery. It conveys emotional messages to its audiences and they 'feel' something about the client, service or product. It is just one of a range of non-verbal languages with which we are all familiar. We read these languages easily and make judgements based on the messages we pick up through them.

In this module you are required to explore the notion of visual language through a given topic and experiment with a variety of conceptual and visualising techniques. You will use this research to develop the second part of this brief.

By week twelve each student will be required to submit research, evidencing visual understanding of their topic and demonstrate the ability to generate and refine ideas. This could be in Director, Flash or traditional sketchbook format. please note the research is ongoing throughout the module and does not finish with week twelve.
