Animation

I had a go at roughly animating the TV set:

Garden Images






I took a few pictures of my Garden and tools at home, here are a few.
 

Quite like the idea of concrete poetry.... going to make this image into a short animation where the words grow up into this tree... maybe after the viewer clicks on a watering can?

Playing around

One idea we thought about was to encourage gardening on a small scale, such as in window boxes or in old disused objects. Students generally don't have access to a traditional gardens, so why not convert an old tv into a plant pot?

Research


I came across this nice example of typography. The hand rendered floral pattern within the text works really well and is something we can explore.

Gardening??

...that's the topic we've decided to cover for this project. We like the idea of the ISTD competition brief and have begun to explore different ideas within the subject areas. After researching we've found it to be much more complicated then we first thought. We need to narrow 'gardening' down and concentrate on an area within it. "10 ways to make gardening interesting", is one of our better ideas, as we're aiming our website(?) at teenagers, and it's well known that gardening usually associated with older adults.

I came across this website where you can create your own garden and watch it grow.
