Project 2: Mood Board & Logo Sketches

Proj 2 - mood board, plastic boxes

My idea is to have all the display cases/boards be made out of clear plastic to take advantage of the very large space and ambient light. Clear plastic is a very clean, crisp element, reminiscent of water and air and other "stream"-like concepts. It also allows light to stream through. I think it is very important for the exhibit to not overshadow the work presented, instead functioning as a supporting foundation for the pieces, much like the DAI department itself.

Project 2 - Mood Board

For my mood board I pretty much just collected ideas I thought could inspire our aesthetic, rather than collage images which suggested a certain aesthetic. My main idea was to look at ways to represent flowing forms beyond the obvious "curvy line". Top to bottom, left to right: First is a Calabi-Yau, which is a visual representation of this crazy "shape" that has more than three dimensions. Then there's a topographical map, which I think has an interesting aesthetic. The next picture is a diagram of two neutron stars circling each other or something. Then a seismogram. Then some other gravity related diagram. Then water drops rolling down a car window. Then another gravity thing. Then some clothes blowing in the wind. At this point, I ran out of ideas, so I just put "Stream" really big at the bottom.

Basically, I guess I just wanted to show how flowing forms can be a lot more complex than just a wavy line? I dunno.

Project 2: Name Mood Board

Because this is the 20th anniversary of the show, I think of Stream as streamers, which is used for celebration with images of fireworks, confetti, and bright colorful lights. I also see stream as, of course, waterfalls. Since this exhibit is only in the Spring, I picture flowers like the cherry blossom.

Project 2: Paul Carlson -- Mood Board

For the mood board, I was playing around with the idea of 'stream' in the literal sense. I think depictions of nature also play well into the whole green design and sustainability themes without being too over-the-top about it. Bright, vibrant colors and natural phenomena also reinforce these drivers.

Project 2

Concept mood board where the tone is colorful, playful and dynamic and has a constant design aesthetic. Re-use and 'low tech' in materials.

Project 2: Mood Board

The name for the show is “steam” after the idea of steamers. It is a party item, so the show should be party like with party items such as balloons and cake with sweets. The logo should be a fluid wiggle symbol like how the strips are from the streamer. Some ideas that I came up with were ribbons, flowy lines, curves, many things that twisted. The images I gathered are some examples of what I thought of.

Sherwin David - Project 2: Stream Mood Board

Since we all came up with the name 'stream' for the 20th anniversary of this year's DAI student exhibit, my mood board consist of images relating to the word. I was envisioning images that flow like the stream or a river without being too literal. I thought that images of flowing hair and waterfall as well as auroras to be interesting. Brain waves and the like also came into my thoughts how shapes of streaming or flowing or waves can be found in nature such as trees or in space. I included images in my mood board that might inspire some of us to use for the logo, logotype or both.

Mood Board

I think the whole main mood of the exhibit should be a celebration/party mood. Playing the right music and using the right color lights and paying attention to the little detial we can accomplish this For example balloon dropping and taking advantage of the huge screens we have are ideal.
