The motivating idea behind my weather report is that (in the future) there is a new mobile technology that takes the form of a wristband. This wristband projects images onto the users wrist, and the user may interact with the projections, swiping them and tapping them as they would a touchscreen, but without the hassle of glass or limited space. I believe I visualized this idea well, and it would work well once put into context.
Typeface choices- I was purposeful in my typeface choices because at the beginning, each typeface reflects some of the personality of the locations for the report. Then, they become uniform in a legible but unique font.
Color choices- Most of all, I brought practical color choices to my project because if the images are to be projected on skin, they must stand out. Therefore, every color is saturated and the type is black for maximum contrast. Also in that vein, I made sure to make the last latch climate icons large so that they were clear to the user. Speaking of latches…
Latch structures- I chose to organize the information by Location, Hierarchy(temperature) and Category(conditions). I worked with the keyframes of this animation to make sure that the proper structure was emphasized. For example, I included a map in Location, aligned all the high temperatures from high to low, and then made sure the conditions were encapsulated by the appropriate icons. I also tried to emphasize each structure using order of motion and size.
Overall, I would have liked to have applied my video to the real world with my wrist watch idea. Hopefully I will be able to in the future, so that each motion in the video could be in context, like the tapping of the map near the first latch. I also would have liked to further perfect the motion in my hierarchy and climate sections. I think I learned a lot about motion from my classmates videos. I tried to avoid overlapping information in transitions, although it was difficult, because it really appealed to me to see tightly operating transitions in other videos.
