I thoroughly enjoyed working through the concepts of this project. It was interesting to look at the ideologies of an art movement from years ago, examine at the ways they have influenced modern design, and then think about how I could bring the ideals of the movement into a contemporary context.
I am pleased with my final product – I think the idea of an "animated book" is compelling and effectively brings the ideas of Futurism into a contemporary context. Though the process of laying out the text and animating it took lots of time, it really helped me appreciate the writing itself and the mindset of the Futurist.
Some of my favorite layouts from the publication ::
If I were to go back and rework any aspects of the project, I would try to refine the animation. I was somewhat limited by the animation capabilities in InDesign, in terms of speed and positioning of the movements. I would also love for it to be possible to make the book even more interactive, where the viewer has more control over when the animations occur and when. Finally, there could be more color or texture incorporated into the piece.
Overall, I was stretched out of my comfort zone in both thinking about a style of design that I have never worked with before, and in working completely digitally – no paper required! But, I enjoyed the challenge and have a much greater appreciation for how design got to where it is today, and the technologies we have at our fingertips.
