First off I found this site http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Har01Typo-t1-g1-t3-body-d1.html which gave me the idea of looking into something like the Guttenberg press and how he made the bible with the really intricate detail and how it seems to have a harmony with the contrast of size of type and alignment. The piece just works as a whole so i was thinking
one concept : recreate a gutenberg style spread ?
We as a group discussed also possibly creating a image of a piano with the actual keys marked with the musical notes or letters a through g. Or something incorporating the literal use of music its notes and their typographical stance here are some rough images created:
As for the website we will create we discussed between coding and keeping it in flash but decided converting to code would take to much time. Here is a website layout design incorporating some of our ideas we would like to possibly incorporate. We will overall try to just add on from last years design and incorporate a few changes fitting to our concept of Type and Harmony or Music. So the main page will probably stay the same but you will click on publication two and get a home page like this.
Cheers everyone let us know your thoughts and recommendations.xx,
web design team
The final image looks good! i really like the ideas of the symbols, although very literal, provide a good platform for the theme.
ReplyDeletei thought the style of last years web page was effective in its simplicity and i think this idea you have will be just as effective without the use of image.
