In this project, the goal was to explore movement.

First, we had to choose a song that inspired us. Unable to choose just one initially, I created a playlist of songs on my iPod. The song I ended up choosing was “Very Loud” by Shout Out Loud. We were to listen to our chosen song and create thumbnails of movement in relation to the music we were listening to. We then had to narrow it down and choose two contrasting movements to recreate in our “song books.”

What I learned in doing this assignment is that visually implied movement is best created with diagonals, but can also be done with simple shapes rearranged in a space as well. Also, figure ground relationship with the latter is very important to keep in mind when creating design.
