Interactivity & Control: Shape

0 Comments

I have drawn some shapes that I am considering using in the design of my interaction. They all involve lines and ellipses, because I feel they will show the rotation of the object the best. I will also involve colour after researching possible colour pallets, to determine colours that will work well together and won't overdo the interaction.

 The shapes that I really like are #2, #5, #8.

#2 - The center ellipse acts as an anchor point for the object, giving it a grounded point. This will show the rotation nicely, and will also give the object gravity as it moves around the page.

 #5 - This one is similar to the previous one, but the center point doesn't have that heavy anchor to it, reducing the grounding effect. Having more pieces off the center point will show nice colour change while rotating.

 #8 - This shape would look aesthetically pleasing while rotating due to the arc shapes. However, the center point whilst remaining anchored creates a busy atmosphere and overdoing the shape of the object.

 After looking at the components of the shapes I have considered, I will use #2, because the anchor point of the central ellipse will help create a smooth and anchored rotate of the object.

I am a designer, currently studying Design Innovation at Victoria University of Wellington. My focus areas are website and mobile media development, interaction design, 3D modelling and animation and audio-visual space. My blog shows my journey through each project as well as my learning experience through university. What do I want to be when I grow up? I have no idea. But I love what I'm learning. Although there have been many bumps along the road in this journey and despite the fact that there are going to be many more, I wouldn't have it any other way.
