RESEARCH METHODS////////////QWWK 12////////////VISUAL RESEARCH METHODS II

Time and dimension: Order 

Movement creates a sense of action in the visual arts. It can be created by repeating visual elements (motifs): lines, shapes, colours. When depicting a person, movement is achieved by changing the person's balance point and posture, as seen in the illustrations of contemporary New Zealand artist and film animator Erica Russell.

Another very interesting way to create movement is by using illusion.The beginning is connected with the appearance of the Op-art movement in the middle of the last century. It uses the human brain's ability to perceive complex patterns built through repetition and contrast. In this way, an illusion of movement is created in the still image.

We consider this approach extremely suitable for illustrating Alice's adventures,In relation to the whole context. Therefore it will be used frequently in the layout of the spreads.

Time and dimension: Sequence

Sequence is the relationship between elements that determines their order in the composition. It is closely related to hierarchy as both follow the principle of "orderliness".(The sequence follows The English reading comprehension : left-right/up-down.)

Sequence = Alignment/Proximity+Position for 'start'

We will visually demonstrate the principle of consistency in the cover of our product.

Use of Аlignment - it serves both to give a tidy appearance to the cover and to help convey information.

Typography - I chose to use two fonts in the cover layout: Spirax and Alex Brush. This contrast in fonts serves to emphasize the hierarchy: Spirax has a dominant role, bringing to the fore two words: "Alice" and "Wonderland". Alex Brush imitates handwriting. It has a supporting role and is used for the preposition "in" and for the author's name. Although completely different, the two fonts do not seek opposition. They are consistent within the overall layout. It can be said that they are grouped consecutively into two groups, with the title above the author's name, aiming to focus attention on it.

There is also Colour contrast within the title. It is achieved as a sum of the two colors: black and red. Contrast is used sparingly. The only word in red is the preposition "in", which aims to draw attention to the connection of the two words "Alice" and "Wonderland" in a single group.

Factors of visual grammar: mass, unity, fragmentation, regularity, irregularity, activity, passivity, space, order, randomness, continuity, interruption. 

Visual grammar According to Gestalt, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts," but let's look at them anyway.

Mass By common definition in art and design, mass is the amount of matter (visual weight) in any one object in a scene. It is closely related to balance, i.e. to the positioning of the various objects. Their visual weight should be balanced around a central point so that the composition feels complete.

Unity Unity in design is cohesion between its various elements using powerful factors such as color, proximity, font, alignment, contrast. The goal is a maximally satisfying aesthetic perception for the user. -Choosing the right colours and their consistency within the design reinforces the connection between individual pages (if it's a web design) or individual elements (if it's a logo or print design). -Proximity helps to understand which elements within the design are related and how they are related. -Font is also a unifying factor, both in web design and in logo or print design. The combination of different, skillfully chosen and complementary fonts can build consistency across individual pages, as well as build hierarchy when needed. -Alignment unifies and enhances the user experience by arranging all elements on a single axis so that they appear connected. -It is important to note that unity does not always mean equality. Depending on the context, some design concepts focus on contrast in color scheme or fonts to distinguish separate groups of elements or simply to create a different mood. Adherence to Unity ensures a correct understanding of the message even by those users who do not have professional design knowledge.

Exploiting the cultural contexts surrounding 'Alice in Wonderland' and critically examining its use as a sign, symbol, icon and metaphor.

INDEX - We designate the smile of the Cheshire Cat in this image as an index because it is a consequence of the cat itself, which is no longer there, but was once there, and has disappeared, leaving its smile behind.

SYMBOL - An issue by Tim Walker is a fashion collection for Vogue Italia, which rather emphasizes the presentation of clothes, but due to the specific scenography and mise-en-scene, it gives the impression of being close to Lewis Carroll's books. Symbols could be found in the references that the decor creates.

METAPHOR -

METAPHOR :

“The time has come,' the Walrus said,

      To talk of many things:

Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax —

      Of cabbages — and kings —

And why the sea is boiling hot —

      And whether pigs have wings.’

                                                          L.Carroll

“When pigs fly" is not just a common saying or a funny phrase. Usually behind it lies the idea that the probability of something happening is very small or almost non-existent. This is probably the message that Roger Waters wants to convey at his legendary "The Wall" live concerts, because the allusion to Carroll's text is obvious.

ICON - This is my idea for Alice, which is the result of many years of personal interest and professional research.

My idea is that she should be presented in a minimalist style, and the play between positive and negative space should emphasize the illusory world of wonders in which it has fallen. Although not very realistic, we define this image as an icon because it bears a physical resemblance to the object it signifies.

Questions about "Alice in Wonderland" in a range of contexts, meanings and values of the shape.

1/ What is the significance of Alice's fluctuations in size and shape in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?

2/ How does Alice reach new knowledge about the interrelationships between shape, colour, smell, taste, content?

3/ What is the meaning of form in the world of the imaginary real?

4/ How does Alice challenge the physical laws of space, time and distance?

5/ What are form and content as philosophical categories in Alice?
