Background Graphics - Equalizer
This background will be animated to act like a graphic equalizer. The colored columns will move up and down in time with the beat of the song, as Yoshi performs her dance routine in the foreground.
Japanese Typography
The typographic animation for my piece will be based on Japanese typography, the style of the example below is to Kitsch for my piece so I'll be looking into more techno/electronic styles.
Japanese Graphic Design - Tanaka Ikko
Below is a collection of works by the Japanese graphic designer 'Tanaka Ikko'. My aim for this part of my research was to establish a theme for the visual style of my piece and to establish a strong concept for the video itself. This wasn't to be the overall basis for my idea but helped me to explore and look into other areas of Japanese design. The very first image, showing a exhibition installation was essential with my inspiration for a situation in which to have Yoshi (Real Dolls) performing her dance routine.
Tokyo Streets & Buildings
Here's some visual research into Tokyo. Here I have looked into the futuristic style of Tokyo as a city so I can capture some of the atmosphere for my video. The buildings in the city are typical in my opinion of the forward thinking and ingenuity of the Japanese.
Research - Designers Republic
Here are a collection of images I found during my research into a company called the Designers Republic. I chose to research this company due to their use of futuristic and Japanese style imagery, which are central to my concept for the Real Dolls piece.
