A cavalcade of creativity
Micro Macrocosm The video at the bottom of the screen demonstrates all five design concepts Tufte proposed in Envisioning Information for my Micro Macrocosm submission. However, within the design of the application itself I have attempted to incorporate several micro macrocosm aspects. This platform is called DUB Audiobooks, which serves a dual purpose. Dubbing is …
I am happy with some aspects of this design. I feel I managed to convey the stature this character carries. I also appreciated getting my hands on a new piece of software to attempt to learn. It has proven to be quite challenging for me on the whole. I found when we used Maya after …
I created the armour for Cassian by extracting pieces of the body mesh and manipulating them into shape and polypainting over the top. This created a number of issues due to Dynamesh and Z-Remesher affecting the whole model at times when I needed more specific elements to be targeted. I created Cassian’s sword in Maya …

Within the application, the first option available to the listener is which genre they would like to explore. By splitting potentially thousands of narratives into genres it helps to streamline the discovery process. “The first thing to observe is that a genre is not a rigid mould which works must fit into, but a group …
This application is designed to stream audio narratives to the audience. The main function that demonstrates this concept is the time bar. When using real time metrics, it is possible to track the length of either the chapter, act or the whole piece. The time bar conforms to the colour of the genre it is …
Small multiples The whole application utilises small icons within a circle to provide a quick and uniform way to interact with the design. “Small multiple designs, multivariate and data bountiful, answer directly by visually enforcing comparisons of changes, of the differences among objects, of the scope of alternatives. For a wide range of problems in …
For this submission, I have developed a user interface that incorporates the five principles of design as outlined in Envisioning Information by Edward Tufte in Abobe XD. The application would be used as a mobile audiobook platform. Tufte advocates “First rule: Pure, bright or very strong colors have loud, unbearable effects when they stand unrelieved …
