Communication Design – Project Research
During this week, I have been doing some of the research of my project. I will talk about the color i have chosen in my project, Which is red , Yellow and deep blue . The reason I used red and yellow is both of the color are presenting the superhero. Which is Iron Man and Spiderman
.
\
For my logo design , I have used two of the superhero face to mix up to become a new icon for my poster icon because I am doing the film poster for that film. I think it should show the people to know who is the main character in the film 
The reason I used deep blue in the background is because which is the second color of Spiderman and I want the audience know the dark blue can represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness.
Which is the front I used in the poster because it can presenting Spiderman.
Data designer – Stefanie Posavec
Stefanie Posavec is a data designer AND SHE often works with language, literature, and science. She didn’t like other designers, she uses a hand-crafted approach and claims she cannot program at all.
The images shown here are from an exhibition for a short story that was written by Hari Kunzru. The story took place in the future, post-apocalyptic London where knowledge and information were destroyed and nature took over.
To illustrate the story, Posavec have created a series of world maps illustrating this transition. The first map titled Accounting was constructed by mapping altitudes of capitol cities and the distances between them. The map mean to represent how people in the story mapped, measured, and gathered data on every aspect of life. The next illustration, Withering, depicts the electric storm that have destroyed all the data as the numbers crumble into dust. Wilding, the last map, shows weeds growing from the ruins and triumphing over data and information.
