process/ product board

the board that i presented at the review was too much of a diagram and not enough of a final product board. this assignment was challenging. i've not had to make a board like this before and am really glad that this was part of the assignment. as a final presentation board and a process board, you had to figure out a way to synthesize all the work done (1), compose an overall graphic from various graphics (2) and reveal something about the process (3). this board is organized so that the projects build up from the bottom. the name of the project was used as a way to identify the organization and diagram of material on the board. the overall name of the project (constructed morphologies) is the largest text overlayed on text from my reading anayses, a key part of beginning to conceive the how and why of digital practices. text is called out, keying into this new (for me) digital design language. in red outline is "surficial manipulations" which aligns on the left of the board with process diagrams and wireframes calling to attention the interrogated lines and points in red. this is overlayed on a larger image of the final product, which is showed as a long strip and is revealed most clearly on the right side of the page, corresponding to the "constructed morphologies" project label. the overall composition reads at different levels, with the horizontal product images having the strongest read. within these bands, however, there is a homogeneity so as to not create a lot of hierarchy. this was my intention. there was value in each of the 5 major process phases of this project equally, and feel that this process will repeat itself as i continue to develop this methodology. perhaps eventually a breakthrough would be revealed by a larger, more dominant image.
