Facade Artwork

Now that we've done the theory part, it's time to apply it for real - and what's more interesting is, we have a client. Meghan Trainor huhu.

Our task is to create a pattern that reflects the characteristics Meghan Trainor's famous song - Me Too. And by characteristics I mean the rhythm, beat, tempo, whatever your music teacher has taught you.

So in the beginning to understand the song we need to understand music components. It's pretty surprising to find out that music has design elements and principles too like the texture and emphasis and rhythm and repetition.

We decided to focus on the distortion transition in the song and for our first tutorial we learned how to translate how we feel about that part of the song into this.


As you can see we have a common pattern in our translation, we have more of edges and bright contrasting colours. And's that we're going to use for our pattern - facade artwork.


Our first design idea - different thickness of lines to express emphasis

Testing out our final design idea



Our final product

We got an average B for this project but the progress was worth it (so tiring I was fighting off sleep to complete the boards cry). The thing we lacked was our workmanship of our facades and the way we did our titles on the boards. 

We should arrange our time though because we were dying literally finishing this project. Also the reason why we did pretty last minute was the change of ideas at the end. This really tested our time management and it's a huge wake up call that we should plan according to our resources sometimes.
