Experience: What does the player get to do? Walk around the environment interacting with objects and puzzles.

Theme: What is the game about? How does the game present concepts? The game is about keeping the player constantly on edge. There is a general atmosphere of unease due to the lighting, camera, sound design and more in order to accomplish this despite there not actually being many traditional “horror” events or jump scares.

Point of view: What does the player see, hear, or feel? From what cultural reference point? How are the game and the information within it represented? The player is first person, experiencing the game through the character. The player should feel at home since it is their old apartment but also uneasy due to the imposing Soviet bloc style architecture.

Challenge: How does the game challenge the player? It makes them think about what certain clues could mean and how to solve the games puzzles.

Decision-making: How do players make decisions? They can choose to do some parts of the game in any order or take as long or short as they like completing puzzles.

Skill, strategy, chance, and uncertainty: How are these elements used and balanced? The only real element of skill involved is problem solving, other than this the game does not have much strategy, chance or uncertainty.

Context: Who is playing, where, and when? On what platform? The game is designed to be played on a PC or console rather than mobile due to performance constraints as well as the atmosphere of the game being better experienced when sat down in a low light environment for maximum immersion.

Emotions: How does the game make the player feel? The game makes the player feel many things but the main ones are unease, satisfaction from completing puzzles and excitement/fear from scary moments.

fiD is coined from Fashion and Interior Design. There are many aspects of these two topics that imply they go hand in hand with each other. There has always been a strong, unbreakable link between interior design and fashion. Not only do they both share the same aesthetic concepts as space, shape and form but they are both an accessible artistic expression for the masses.

It’s this artistic expression which stretches the connection beyond the aesthetic into something deeper, something psychological. Interior design and fashion both represent something personal, helping individuals to be creative, unique and to help us understand other people and the world around us. No wonder they share the same trends and aspirations.

This blog focuses on the influence of Interior design concepts on the fashion photography. How do they influence each other?

When we observe the fashion photographs that are shot indoor, we see how various elements of the setup invoke the right message or feeling into the viewer. On the other hand there are camera and software edits indeed, but a perfect photograph requires both. The background and lighting play a crucial role in fashion photography.

Their design philosophy

Famously, Steve Job’s Design philosophy consists of 6 pillars:

1.Craft, Above All — Meticulous attention to detail and precision
2.Empathy — A process that emphasizes empathy with user needs and an intimate connection with the feelings of the customer
3. Focus — Eliminate all of the unimportant opportunities
4. Impute — People form an opinion about a company or product based on the signals that it conveys
5. Friendliness — recognize that high-tech devices could be friendly and approachable and appeal to novice and advanced user alike
6. Finding simplicity for the future in metaphors from the past- Design simplicity should be linked to making products easy to us

When it comes to photography and design, color has the power to both take a good image to great or take the same image and ruin it. If we consider color theory in the act of creating photographs and design, we can find guidance for how to approach and manage color for better looking images. 

Red, green and blue color also known as primary RGB colors are sensitive to different wavelengths and all other colors come from the combining at least two of them.

Secondary colors are those that require a balance amount of two primary colors.

Tertiary colors are the combination of a primary color with secondary color.

Analogous colors are colors which are side by side on a color wheel,

Complementary colors are any two colors which are directly opposite each other.

The color wheel, color harmony and the context of how colors are used are the three basic categories of color theory that are useful for photography and design.

Color Theory

#Week 6 #Task 1

After traced one landscape photograph in Illustrator, I have created a group of abstract forms to show some of the elements of colour theory. 

The golden ratio rectangle, constructed in Adobe Illustrator, in my case, in order to help to construct and/or create fonts. 

Figure i, “Sky and Water I” is a woodcut print by the dutch artist M.C Escher first printed in June 1938. In this art two different print  i.e bird and fish are grouped separately to understand easily. It is difficult to see both bird and fish at the same time. The white bird and black fish are separated as figure and ground. Every bird seen in the image have similarity but every row of fish have similar outline with contrasting row.

Figure ii, Escher often designed art which played around with figure and ground in interesting ways. White horses and riders and Black horses and riders turning in different direction are grouped together to give the impression of a whole.

Figure iii, This image could be a geometrically inspired image with realistic landscapes based more on mathematical theories. This image could be a combinations of shapes, birds in the sky, the leading rivers on both side and even the chess inspired floor are interlocking completely to cover a surface with contrasting colors black, white and gray.

MC Escher’s work are the superb examples  of combining the Gestalt laws of proximity, similarity, closure and continuity in a way that creates illusion through art and techniques, visual understanding and mathematics.

Unity- the wholeness and completeness to an image, gives the artwork a sense of cohesion or “togetherness”.

Gestalt- the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, describes the ability to recognize patterns and make assumptions from them. Based on proximity, similarity, continuity, closure and connectedness.

Totality- the whole of something, the total of an artwork

Proximity- closeness, how far objects or things are away from others

Repetition- repeating aspect, helps create of movement within an artwork

Continuation- the human eye follows lines, curves or sequences to find the relationship between design elements

Grid-a network of uniformly spaced horizontal and perpendicular lines

Radial Balance-visual balance based on a circle with its design extending from center
