I submitted both the designs - white and blue - because I thought both were good designs. Some people may prefer a more colourful design rather than just black and white.
This brief was a fun one to work on.
Secret 7 had set out good music to work on, it makes it a lot easier to
work on when you’re excited and have an idea quite quickly. This is the case
with this brief, the song Born Slippy is a classic song that I heard a lot when
growing up. So I thought the best way to visualise this is with lasers. They're
a really important part to the rave scene; they set the atmosphere and at times
are really good to watch. So once that idea was set I knew it wasn't a lot of
work to do, apart from working out the colours. That threw me a bit because I
always picture lasers as green, however when using that colour it didn't look
right. That problem has taught me that sometimes you have to work with a lot of
colours before you get to the one that looks right. This brief was a quick
one and was quite a lot fun because I wasn’t reading into it too much. There’s
no really deep meaning behind the choice of colour and line weight, which I think
is good because there didn’t have to be. I think it visually represents the
song well. I also chose to put both final designs in because rave is all about
colour and brightness, especially when this song came out in the 90s. So
submitting a monochrome design dint make a lot of sense, adding the colourful
furthered my idea. I am happy I chose to do this brief, it is good to be involved with an actual competition and because it was fun I didn't feel a lot of pressure for everything to be absolutely perfect.
