#Media Design

[soapdispensersalesman]

Found this website concept I made for a class back when I still studied Media Design. It was aimed at an older demographic, so I made a mixture of a "modern" site and a retro site. My classmates all hated the design and burned it to the ground, but I'm still proud of it :) It was originally in Dutch, but I made a rough translation at the time to share with my friends and family.

Hey all, here are my creativity test results. Think there's some work to be done! Here are some design preferences and prejudices too:

Design Preferences: 

Subversive Film - I am absolutely crazy about movies. I won’t sit here and try to argue that there’s one kind I love more than any other, because I’ve seen so many that I can find one from any genre that I absolutely adore. Still, I have extra respect for movies that push the boundaries of what can/should be done in film. I love any film that goes out of its way to defy the medium and any established rules of filmmaking. Within these terms, I’ll mention a few favorites: Mulholland Drive (2001), Pierrot Le Fou (1965), Persona (1966), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), and Gummo (1997) stand out above many others to me. If I had to pick a favorite genre, it’d probably be horror, but if it ever comes down to movies I’m ready to talk all day about them. 

Sample Heavy Music - I adore the art of sampling. Few things give me as much of a genuine rush as when I’m listening to an album and I recognize the origin of a sample used in a song. My favorite album of all time is “Since I Left You” by The Avalanches, an album under the Plunderphonics subgenre that is made up of between 900 to 3,500 different samples, depending on who you ask. It is an album full of lively, danceable tunes that I cannot recommend enough. Other artists I love for their sampling abilities are Daft Punk, DJ Shadow, the Beastie Boys, MF DOOM, Madlib, Earl Sweatshirt, and Boards of Canada. 

Varying Kinds of Literature - I would hesitate to call myself well read, but I do try my best to read as much as I can. I think the novel is one of the most powerful mediums, since it can be formed in any way the author sees fit. It is truly a playground for creativity and I’ve found great pleasure in many kinds of literature, so I’ll name a few writers and works I love: Cormac McCarthy (Blood Meridian, All The Pretty Horses), Flannery O’Connor (Wise Blood, A Good Man is Hard to Find, Good Country People), David Foster Wallace (Infinite Jest, Good Old Neon), Thomas Pynchon (Inherent Vice, Gravity’s Rainbow), and Toni Morrison (Beloved). I think what I love most about these writers/works is how much they all utilize the flexibility of the novelistic form to create worlds and characters that could not be rendered in any other medium, or at least would be very difficult to. 

Design Prejudices: 

Minimalistic or Overly Plain Branding: I know many people generally despise the concept of branding as a whole, but I think I’ve pretty much come to terms with its universality. I often find that I grow attached to some kinds of branding, particularly logos, which upsets me even more whenever companies go out of their way to “rebrand” to some minimalistic junk. I understand the need (or perceived need) to appear modern/sleek/cool but to me there is nothing cool about something that looks like it can belong to any old brand. Some entities who I believed have changed their branding for the worse over the years: Pringles, Snapple, La Liga, Firefox, and Google. God forbid they do anything to the Coca-Cola logo. 

Clothing With the Brand Name on It: This one is real specific. I won’t pretend that I have a clue when it comes to fashion; my method for getting dressed every day is to wear whatever happens to be at the top of my drawer. Still, I find that I simply refuse to buy any clothing where the brand’s or store’s name is just blasted onto the front of it. The worst for this are places like Hollister, Aeropostale, even some of the hype-beast luxury brands, but special mention to Gap because I didn’t think I could hate 3 plain letters on a hoodie so much. 

Sitcoms About Nice/Overly Dumb People: Full disclosure, I have a dark sense of humor (within reason, obviously). I find that what makes me laugh in comedy is people acting completely awful. Think shows like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Veep. It works best because it shows the absurdity of life and the situations that arise from it. That’s why so many other comedies simply don’t work for me; they’re too focused on being nice that they just end up feeling toothless and milquetoast. I won’t name the shows I don’t like out of respect (it’s hard to write and direct!) but it’s something that always gets on my nerves.

Lmao I just accidentally deleted my account so I‘m starting new here. Anyways, I changed my major from business law to media design, which will start this winter semester. I‘m so excited to finally live out my creative ideas. The coding and programming will be challenging but I love a challenge.

Design Preferences and Prejudges

Here is first my score on my test my creativity

Here are my design preferences:

Video Art: I really love video modern art because it is intriguing to look at. As well I like also creating video art. In undergrad I took a class called design III in undergrad where the main focus was experiential art (which included video art) and I enjoyed it. Here's a video I have created for an assignment for class in 2017. I love how anything is art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXkrrcZN1Xc

Artistic Music Videos: I mainly love music videos especially from independent artists because they put more time and effort into their work. Here is an example of my favorite music video which from Elio from her song My Friends Online. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1G_fRYyRrM

Indie Films: I love independent films I love the stories that come out of independent films. I also love how each crew and cast member is dedicated to getting the film created. Here is the trailer from I, Tanya one of my favorite independent films distributed by Neon and 30West. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXZQ5DfSAAc

Prejudges

Classical Music: Honestly just bores me.

Horror+gore films : I hate watching horror and gory movies. I hate watching characters getting hurt, murdered, and dying on screen in any way possible. I know its all fake and done by movie magic, but I can't stand watching it. I either need to cover my eyes or leave the premises.

Fashion that looks like a garbage bag: WHY DO YOU WANT TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE https://co.pinterest.com/pin/42010209005051370/
