Week 6

Week 6 has seen the finalized logo for within the interface being implemented. An outer glow has been applied to mimic the lighting of a dresser, this also opens up possibilities for animation -



Initial testing has began to create the symbols and shapes that will appear on the models at different rotations. After working through the amount of tags for each model, I have decided to only include tags on the front view, and at 45 degree rotation in either direction. Experimentation with basic solid shapes to correspond with the heads has lead to the realization that only outlines will provide the imagery without competing with the 3d shapes in the visual hierarchy. Black dotted lines and arrows were tested first, but the use of a black looked out of place, instead, white dotted lines with drop shadows shall be implemented. Experimentation with basic text tags has began, the font I have chosen to use is Verdana due to its clarity at small size -


In week 7 I will be developing all tags and imagery for the heads and the basic interaction buttons, this will lead up to the creation of a prototype.
