Experimental Interaction Project 3 – The Social Stage

< The Social Stage >

This social media project titled “Glitchy Glitchy” was done by Xue Ru, Whitney and Wan Hui.

To find out our narrative, click on our characters’ profile below to get to their Instagram accounts 🙂:

During interaction week, classmates were allowed to log in to @michluvsglitch to access hidden information (e.g. DMs between Mich & Steph)

(For access to Mich’s account, refer to XuanMing’s briefing slides for privacy reasons 🙃 heh)

An Instagram live by Steph also happened during the interaction week.

Following is our presentation slides:

The area that I will be focusing on for this project is [ Bedok ], my neighbourhood.

< Research & Process >

Through Project 2a, I have decided to focus on YELLOW COLOUR as the element of my zine.

Back cover (left) and cover (right) tryout

/ Initial idea /
Foodie adventure photozine

Empty stomach on page 1 (cover) to indicate the state before feasting the good food from Bedok
Filled tummy on page 8 (back cover) with checkpoints (food places intro) to indicate state after going through the recommended food places in Bedok

Image result for collage zine
Reference (left) and Spread 1 tryout (right)

Initial spread 1 layout was referencing towards pop art cover layout instead of spread layout. Therefore, spread did not look appropriate.
Barely any visual hierarchy as the images appear to be of similar sizes.
Use of split complementary colors to make the spread look more harmonious.

/ Comments /

Zine is about food so cover page should include the food that will be featured instead for anatomy.
Photo angles can be limiting when shooting food stores, like the bakery. Illustrations of more interesting angles can be included.
