Yeowon (first responder: Angel, notetaker: Annie)
Concept: sunglasses - vacation idea associated, effects of something showing through sunglasses cutout, escape theme
  • neat, viewfinder, abstracts from everything else and see only whats in the glasses, 2nd easier to view bc of stationary sunglasses
  • illusion of sunglasses still on screen when not
  • preference of first, more content, dynamic
  • likes first, glasses function of seeing, escape to beach, fun times, motion, color scheme, harts, youth and adventure, good composition
  • interesting composition and found footage, video on top of video, vacation and discovery feel coming through, Lolita book cover 
  • interesting background w red and pink effect
  • shaded sunglasses tint 
  • cyclical motion is nice, but zoom out more, awk moment where it is empty, pink not fully aligned to art board
  • fluid motion, clear concept, few refinements to tighten it
  • no need of black on the text poster, work w scale, 70s style type works well w theme
Angel (first responder: Annie, notetaker: Lauren C)
  • Montage of cigarettes and how they were depicted as appealing/pleasurable 
  • If cigarette commercials were still shown on TV now 
  • Text is hard to read- fades away fast
  • Concept is a clever way to show the cigarette commercials 
  • Wording in gifs get in the way of the main text added
  • Idea is good
  • Collage affect or scrapbooking
  • If the text wasn’t red it would be more readable and have more contrast
  • Love and cigarette relationship identifiable
  • Didn’t orginally want gif text 
  • explore more of your own POV on commercials on smoking cigarettes 
  • A lot of things to look at
  • Duplications are distracting
  • Is red text necessary?
  • Feeling of advertising with message- like a vintage ad
  • Text of gifs and red text is competing- either have one or the other
  • Play around with negative space- with an organic shape  
Annie (first responder: Lauren C, notetaker: Jina)
  • Mass production of rose
  • A rose is just a rose
  • Repetition of rose gets point across well
  • Text goes well with animation
  • First animation is a reminder of picking the petals off roses
  • First animation reminder of a symbolic meaning and the second animation has a different meaning that don’t relate 
  • Both graphically interesting with shapes that connect to make rose form 
  • Maybe explore other contexts of roses- photo collage
  • Interesting as a series
