While the aim was to break the ident into 4 storyboards I found my ident had to be broken down into 5 frames. I found this interesting as it really made me think of what the key aspects of the ident are which gave me insight into how to storyboard and how to pick out the key aspects of an animation.]]> 2022-02-01 10:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/westonn6/t561n4f96xdm1t1l/wish/2023073085 westonn6 https://padlet.com/westonn6/t561n4f96xdm1t1l/wish/2023074305 To create an ident for ulster university we broke into to groups to generate ideas for the project.

I had the idea to have 4 hands place parts of the logo in the centre of the frame to show collaboration.

I did change a few minor things from my story board like keeping the hands in the shot instead of bringing them back out as I thought it made the ident flow better, and the minor squeeze of the logo before stretching it to the screen size. Overall I was happy with my first draft.]]> 2022-02-01 17:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/westonn6/t561n4f96xdm1t1l/wish/2023808741 westonn6 https://padlet.com/westonn6/t561n4f96xdm1t1l/wish/2023854667 While getting feedback from my tutors, they suggested that i should add more imagery that backs up my idea of collaborating on ideas. I had the idea to a drawing of of lightbulb that is cut up the same way as the university logo and are not aligned. The hands would then take them off the screen and then it would continue with my original ident. I think this would work in showing that ulster university is a place to bring ideas together.]]> 2022-02-01 17:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/westonn6/t561n4f96xdm1t1l/wish/2023854667 westonn6 https://padlet.com/westonn6/t561n4f96xdm1t1l/wish/2023883864 I added the changes suggested in my feedback surrounding my concept.

After review with my tutor, we agreed that the microwave had too much unused space and didn't work as a skeuomorphic icon as well as the others. While the kettle was identifiable, due the the square shape it meant it couldn't have a spout, which was the main identifier. We also thought the fridge was too simple and agreed and interior view of the fridge could represent it better.
