AR Panel Project with EyeJack app

katerumyantseva

As a group we’ve chosen local cat cafes as a subject for our project.

The choice’ve been made

The Whole Cat and Kaboodle is a new cat facility opened recently in downtown Kirkland. We’ve already been there with my daughter and like it.

Problem – No accessible information about adoption

The Whole Cat and Kaboodle provides different services: grooming, daycare, store, cafe and adoption. However it’s not clear that you can adopt a cat from that cafe. And it can be nice for everyone to check some information about those cats before the actual meeting.

I’ve decided to highlight Adoption opportunities in my panels.

Concept

An AR panel with admission prices, working hours, cute pictures/gif, and adoption info.

Reality Composer on the App Store

Reality Composer created by Apple is a easy and powerful tool to create Augmented Reality. It was released for iOS on September 19, 2019.

Reality Composer for iOS and iPadOS makes it easy to build, test, tune, and simulate AR experiences for iPhone or iPad.

 

What they did well. User Interface

  • Simplicity and accessibility
  • It’s intuitive, with user-friendly layout
  • No coding experience

What they did well. User Experience

  • Accessible to a broad audience
  • Drag-and-Drop
  • Instant Preview
  • Templates and Starter Projects

UI/UX items can be improved

  • No desktop app (iPhone/ iPad only)
  • Implement a tutorial
  • Interactions, such as dragging and dropping objects, rotating, and resizing, are smooth and responsive
  • Update the built-in library

Game On: Stress Off.

I used EyeJack Creator 2022 app to create my poster for this project.

The Idea.

I explored various subjects, focusing on education, meditation or stress relief. While exploring different ideas, I’ve watched like a million of gifs. That is how the old arcade Mario concept emerged. The dynamic and engaging nature of the well-known gameplay + fun idea implemented by internet user ritesh001, resonated with my vision, leading me to integrate the iconic character into my project.

Issues

I enjoyed the app. It is user-friendly and intuitive.
However, I encountered a sound issue during my first try with a different image and idea. The sound should be the same duration as your gif. So it was tricky to do a longer gif to save some meaning of a song I’ve chosen.

Pam, pam, pam.

Blog Assignment #4

katerumyantseva

An international destination I would like to work in the future.

Honestly, my dream country is Sweden or Denmark. Unfortunately, someone decided to make them cold and I’m not ready for that.

I would try Dublin, Ireland. The main reason – Europe and I don’t need to learn a new language (learning one is definitely not one of my strengths). I still will be a stranger but the kind I used to be.

two yellow and red wooden doors

Dublin, or just Ireland (depends on job availabilities)
+ Milder climate than Scandinavia, vibrant, cosmopolitan city with lots to see and do.
+ Can easily travel around Europe from either city.
+ Excellent public transportation systems so you don’t need a car.
+ I’ve been there, have friends.
+ Safety rate is high.

– Dublin is more expensive than other European cities. High costs of housing, transportation, etc.
– Climate, climate, climate.
– Money. It’s not a secret that job market in the US is more attractive speaking about numbers.

They do have around 20 Graphic Designer Opportunities. That’s quite similar to what we have here, in Seattle. And I don’t know what kind of a designer I would be. Good? Bad? Branding? UI? Will seeee. Junior or a Junior-Junior?

Thank God now I’m a student and (hopefully) will be a student for the next two years.

A Poster for Madeon

,
katerumyantseva

Madeon is a French DJ and music producer based in LA. His concert was a part of Capitol Hill Block Party — an annual 3-day festival celebrating music. My assignment was to create a poster for his performance.

To prepare I researched existing visual media: album covers, social media, Madeon’s and Capitol Hill Block Party’s official websites. 

For Madeon I noticed one common element – diffused bright light colored with calm pastel pallete. As for the Festival I found bright well-recognizable symbols: logo, quirky doodles and solid colors. 

While doing my research I stumbled upon Madeon’s photos and I decided to use it as a base for my poster. That was a lucky find!

My moodboard: 

 

In my solution I combined all those elements. The based photo provided the light and mood, I tried to match it with the title blending with the light. I put Festival information into the footer and topped it with cool fish borrowed from the Festival website.
