Image. 05

Beginning our next Image brief No. 05, this one being a book for our college book fair, we have been asked to consider 4 areas and gather research for each one, the 4 areas are:

- Shape
- Sound
- Colour
- Typography

After gathering a wide range of research for all 4 areas we then need to focus down to one of the 4 and being further research developing a concept to design our book around.

Unfortunately i missed the taught session setting this brief which leaves me a little behind, i haven't developed any ideas or concepts as of yet, the few ideas that came to mind are:

Colour

n
1. a. an attribute of things that results from the light they reflect, transmit, or emit in so far as this light causes a visual sensation that depends on its wavelengths

b. the aspect of visual perception by which an observer recognizes this attribute

c. the quality of the light producing this aspect of visual perception

d. ( as modifier ): colour vision

Gradients, looking into natural gradients in our environment, focusing on things like gradients at dawn or dusk in the sky, gradients within the sea, gradients within forest etc.

Wavelengths, Colour is light and light works in wavelengths, visible light works from around 380 to 740 nanometers with a frequency range of about 405 THz to 790 THz, this is only a minute section of all colour wavelengths. In physics, the term light sometimes refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not.



Sound

1. Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear.

2. A long surgical probe, typically with a curved, blunt end.

3. A narrow stretch of water forming an inlet or connecting two wider areas of water such as two seas or a sea and a lake.

Looking into sound i want to experiment with the laws of sound, i.e. breaking the sound barrier, manipulating sound etc.

This could be an interesting area to explore due to the laws, these are laws that cannot be bent or changed but can be broken, i.e. things can travel faster than sound and also, in space there is no sound due to their being no air.


Shape


1. the quality of a distinct object or body in having an external surface or outline of specific form or figure.
2. this quality as found in some individual object or body form: This lake has a peculiar shape.
3. something seen in outline, as in silhouette: A vague shape appeared through the mist.
4. an imaginary form; phantom.
5. an assumed appearance; guise: an angel in the shape of a woman.
External Appearence, With shape i could explore the definition, an external surface or outline of a specific form, from this i can explore objects we do not know the internal source only the external, showing how something so simple can be investigated and much more detailed and complex forms can be found inside.
Circle, the perfect shape, infinate sides no corners, i would like to explore how there are naturally formed circles, i.e. the sun, planets, orbits.
Orbits, An orbit always creates a shape usually a symmetrical shape and usually a constant path for an object weather it be a planet or an asteroid or a galaxy.
Paths, A path is a shape in which objects use to follow, if its a person, a car, a train etc, a path usually ends at the beginning creating a shape.
