Group topic :: Seattle Parks
Members :: Shane, Olivia (me), AJ, Preston
We settled into our topic the day is was introduced,
named our channel parks-n-wrecked and it was relatively smooth sailing from that point. I suggested our color palette– black and white and each of us chooses an accent color, Shane suggested the items we have on the panels (i.e amenities, phone numbers, points of interest) and provided some simple icons to have our panels family together beyond just the topic.
I chose Hing Hay Park simply out of familiarity,
I can’t define myself as a park person, or someone particularly nature savvy, so Hing Hay was one of the few I find myself walking through on a regular basis. I’ve always been fond of the art implemented throughout it, and also how it serves as the heart for so many asian festivals and celebrations in Seattle.
It’s proximity to great food and cafes adds brownie points too.
Shane was the first one to build out his in eye jack, so I modeled the layout after his. It followed the basic tri-fold from the whale video and our added titles on the top.
I used a mixture of gif and png’s to construct mine, I sourced my gif right from googles images– elders doing tai chi, qi gong, or just walks in the area when it’s sunny is common so I wanted to have a friendly very animated looking gif for that.
I added red lantern details to frame the gif within the panels, mainly for funsies since I already had them ready on procreate, all I had to do was re color and give it a transparent background, the red of the lanterns was used to reinforce my chosen accent color.
