9th-12th March

9th March: Part Five

For the reading area, I decided to go with the aurora borealis concept as before with the design murals. I wanted it to look pleasant and inviting, whilst adhering to Penguin's primary colour palettes. I realised relatively quickly that I didn't want to go with a plain mono theme, since vibrant rooms tend to provide a more ambient and relaxed experience. This was further reinforced when I read Eva Pavka’s piece on queer space, which discussed how there is a particularly strong relationship between the queer scene and moody, low-lighted spacial and interior design. For the process of this piece, I used a blur filter (the gradient blur specifically) on a canvas of various colours before using a noise filter. I wanted the walls to compliment the ambient theme, and I feel that I have achieved that. In comparison to my initial wall designs, the deisgn for this walls iis far greater. I used SketchClub, utilizing the gradient blur tool, the vector pen, and vector eraser. 

Initial Wall Designs

12th March: Part Six

It eventually came to the stage where I wanted to broaden the concept of the digital archive. I knew from the get-go that presenting this with no context may cause confusion, and so I wanted to provide some detail on its functionality and appearance. Initial concepts were quite straightforward and minimal in terms of how I wanted it to appear, which helped with the general arrangement, but the final product turned out to be more balanced as an interactive medium. It was brought to my attention that I was utilising a disproportionately large amount of space for the Penguin logo and description alone; conflicted by this, I began a new experiment leveraging Penguin's colour scheme as a form of coding. However, this experiment was short-lived, as it came to me that I was still designing these far too big. 

I was envisioning it on a smaller device, but in actuality, it would be on a screen that would be about the size of a flat-screen television. I made the decision to build a more appropriate showcase that would give the books more space to breathe. I used the Penguin logo and produced a brief description to establish the archive in Gill Sans, which is a traditional choice of typeface for the Penguin publishing house. I used light, semi-bold, and bold. A vivid backdrop is used in the finished piece, which incorporates the colour palette chosen for the wall designs (as seen preeviusly): I opted to do this as I wanted there to be greater harmony between my designs. I created this primarily in Indesign, with some assistance from Procreate and SketchClub. I utilised a variety of colours derived from Penguin's use of colour coding books in order to convey a sense of order, such as orange to represent general fiction, navy/dark blue to represent autobiographies, cerise to represent adventure and travel, and additionally, a rainbow of colours to represent the top picks of 2022. 

To symbolise the transition from concealment to visibility after lockdown and as a representation of the queer experience in general, I decided that the titles of these books would only become visible to the viewer once they have interacted with them, otherwise, they will only see blocks of colour. This may seem radical for a showcase, but I knew I did not want this collection to be conventional; I wanted it to be reflective of the struggles queer have with identity and visibality. I implemented this idea after visiting a bookshop that had what they referred to as ‘mystery books,’ books wrapped delicately in newspaper with the sticker ‘unwrap me!’ plastered on each individual book. I watched as a couple or more so people looked over these books with intruige. I believe that the mystery showcase would result in a more engaging experience, the digital unwrapping of a book may pique the interest of viewers, just as I had witnessed, and it means the viewer can interact with the books in more way than one. I am satisfied with the direction this portion of the project has led me, being able to achieve balance for this specific design has motivated me to continue with additional design ideas and changes, for example, I aim to change the design of the panels for a more collective design appearance.

Initial Designs

I used Olivia (1946) by Dorothy Bussy as an example of how the book would appear under the archive’s colour scheme.

Final Design

I used Giovanni’s Room (1956) by James Baldwin as an example of how the book would look after being touched. After time it would fade back to being a block colour. The viewer can interact with as many books as they want in this way, but each will reset.

A similar interactive element would be included in the text. When you click on the text, you will be taken to a more extensive display of that genre. The page you are now seeing is the home page of the archive.

“It may well change the approach to newspaper design in the future.” – Allen Hurlburt in Graphis 156 

Hurlburt was referring to a new New York City weekly newspaper, The Herald, designed by Massimo Vignelli and first published in April 1971. 

Featured here is a single sheet ‘newspaper’ which served as a marketing teaser. Although the paper was short-lived, it was just the first of many newspaper designs by Vignelli.

More from Hurlburt on The Herald:

“Throughout his design career Massimo Vignelli has studied newspapers and has become acutely aware of their problems and their failures; so when the opportunity arrived, he had already formulated many of his ideas.” 

“In discussing the selection of Times New Roman, Massimo Vignelli explained: ‘I decided to avoid the obvious choice of Helvetica and use a typeface with a more journalistic character. I wanted to communicate with the newspaper reader in terms of timeless typography rather than fashionable solutions.”

Industry And Technology  and the Past, Present and Future of fashion influences 

During the last few centuries, fashion has been affected and influenced by factors such as politics, social issues, world events, television programmes, social media and technology. These factors not only have affected the fashion and business industry in the past, but also will be factors of change for many years to come. Starting back in the 1960’s to the 1970’s, historic events such as the illigalistation of LSD in 1968, prior to they historic event, the use of psychedelic drugs aided the vision of Crazy Psychedelic crazy prints and bright colour that shaped the fashion of the decade. Once the drug was made illegal, the use and access of the drug declined, creating less ‘creativity’ for those in the artistic and creative industries like fashion and art. An article written by Ana Escalante in 2021 for CR Fashion wrote about “Psychedelics long lasting impact on fashion” discussing how “each fashion decade can be eclipsed by various illegal substances”. She talks about how the 60’s and 70’s were significant years that fashion, culture and substances such as Cannabis and LSD fused together to create genres like flower power clothing. Music festivals like Woodstock and artists like The Beatles showed the crossover of music and the hallucinogenic drug with the festival created a space where 500,000 people gathered to protest the Vietnam war and protested “Make love not war”. The Beatles were heavily influenced by the drug, Ana discusses how “Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band albums were shaped by the members' experimentation with LSD”. 

Although political issues influenced the fashion industry, political figures also had a huge impact on the industry. One of the most influential political figures of the 60’s and 70’s was First Lady, Jackie Kennedy, who influenced many trends and styles that helped shape the fashion industry at the time. Jackie’s famous elegant style that included Halston and pillbox hats, Gucci bags, Oleg Cassini structured suits and various other significant accessories that help shape the first lady’s elegantly clean style. Jacqueline Navas wrote an article for CR Fashion summer last year (July 2021) discussing all the trends, designers and accessories that were popularised by Jackie Kennedy, one of the specific trends that she speaks about in detail is Jackie Kennedys love for leopard coats. The political figures famous leopard coat and matching hat was deisgned by Oleg Cassini and constructed of real fur in 1962, “Leopard coats became so desired after Jackie's appearance that 250,000 leopards were killed to keep up with sales” safe to say that in todays sustainable and more educated society, the use of real fur would not sit well with many. Ironically Cassini became an advocate for using synthetic fur over real fur due to the horrifying results that the garments construction process caused.

One of my favourite influences within the fashion industry is the incredible affects the popular television series ‘sex and the city’ had on fashion once aired for the first time in 1998. Carrie Bradshaw’s ever-changing significant style throughout the series has arguably changed the fashion trends and looks in various ways. Sarah Jessica Parker who plays Carrie sports a wide range of high end designers like Dior, Fendi, Jimmy Choo and the most significant designer in the show; Manolo Blahnik. From the shows first episode aired in 1998 to Carries last appearance in 2010, the shows risk taking style and countless iconic outfits can be attributed to the shows stylist Patricia Field. One of Carries most infamous outfits was her iconic newspaper print Dior dress that was designed by John Galliano for Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2000, once the garment was showcased on the screens, the influence the garment had was worldwide. Although its been 22 years since the show first aired on television, the dress is still influencing todays fashion trends. Recently (Spring/Summer 22) the well known fast fashion brand Zara has released a few garments with a similar newspaper print imbedded within the garments (see images attached for the garments in  reference). 

The future of fashion is already well underway as futuristic platforms like the meta verse and NFT’s  (Non Fungible Token) startle to tackle the industry within their sectors. Brands like Pretty Little Thing have recently introduced their first virtual model for the brand as they begin their journey into the meta verse. This progressive step the fast fashion brand has taken is a right step towards the future of fashion, although the response to the virtual models debut was fairly negative, I personally admire the way that the brand is attempting to bridge the gap between the real world and digital world. Along with digital models emerging in the meta verse, the rise of NTF’s in the digital world I proving to be the future of digital assets. In an article written by verdict.co.uk (February 18, 2022) the discussion of NFT’s in the fashion world is one that approaches all angles, although its a step in the right direction, buying clothing as NFT’s means that you only purchase the digital visual of the garment and not a physical copy. Surprisingly fashion NFT’s make items more valuable that they are in real life. This was proven when “the Baby Birkin NFT sold for more than an actual Birkin bag in May 2021” the NFT sold at auction for a staggering $23,500, whereas the real life baby Birkin retail price goes for around $9,400 (see image attached for the baby Birkin NTF).
