-Media design is all around us.
“Interaction with media design changes how we see the world around us”
The idea behind my stop motion film is that interacting with
media design changes our perception of other aspects of our environments; it
changes how we see the world around us. By clicking on a webpage, turning on a
cell phone or interacting with one of the many other forms of design work, we
change how we see other concepts, ideas and forms.
The constant flow of
information (both intellectual and visual) that surrounds society influences us
and our opinions. We form new opinions and ideas, which make us interact with other
things in a different way. Suddenly you see that building in a new light- or
that piece of work with new eyes. This new way of seeing things in turn changes
how we feel about other things again, it creates a chain reaction or ripple
effect. This chain reaction continues around, to come full circle. You see a Photograph;
form an opinion about it, then over the next few hours you interact with other
photos, websites and design work. You come back to the original photograph and,
because of the experiences you have had, you see the photo in a completely
different way.
I used different coloured post it notes to express this
idea. One click of the mouse and everything changes, with different colours (which
signify different ideas and viewpoints) moving across the screen and continuously
changing. I also used different patterns and techniques to highlight the idea
that each experience we have influences us in a different way. No two colours
and patterns were used the same way, just like no two people have the exact same
opinions and ideas; everyone has had different experiences and sees the world
of media design in a different way.
