Img Meth: Portfolio App

The portfolio app interface was something I felt that came easy to me. I wanted my interface to be sleek and modern. I presented my work as a feed, which I felt was the simplest and most direct way of showing it. With social media, everyone understands feeds and reads content in that way all the time. With the interface being simple, I focused a little more on the transitions and movement. I wanted the transition to be as smooth as possible and wanted to give a sense of “material” to it as the work screen slides into view. The typeface I chose gives a more technological feel without being distracting.

Graphic Design I: Cognitive Map

For the decision map, I decided to create one for one of my favorite book/film series. Since it was based off of the Harry Potter series, there’s already a sense of style and look associated with it. I didn’t want to stray or shake things up from what the movies’ promotional material provided. The red and gold color scheme works well with Harry’s  Hogwarts house, Gryffindor. I didn’t want the poster to be flat, so I developed a textured background using the cloud effect in Photoshop. The footsteps is taken from the films where Harry has a map of Hogwarts that shows everyone’s whereabouts and where they’re going. Producing the content was the tough part so that the decisions flow well and make sense. I put an object that is vital to each movie with the logo to create almost an icon for each of the movies.
