name: Im Balanced
Tone: empathetic, caring, light hearted, informative, funny. overall uplifting
Vibe: each project has a different tone but were all on the same wavelength
we decided to scrap the idea of making a map of Leeds as some people wanted to explore topics within the home and it was getting too complicated so we came up with the idea of creating a house and each person having their own bedroom where their project is. Each room will have a different aesthetic to it and feel like how everyones bedroom is unique and styled to them. We are also thinking of having some communal rooms like a living room and kitchen where we could host events such as live music and talks as well as interactive sections where the audience could leave a note or get a recipie.
Ethics:
-being careful around sensitive subjects and adding warnings before showing work that could cause harm.
-get permission to show videos
-went against the map due to health and safety reasons due to the pandemic and the current dangers of walking around Leeds (e.g: the Headingly alleyway)
Aesthetic:
- we looked at the artwork we liked on our padlet to come up with these decisions
-set on bright colours and picking 3 consistent colours
- homepage being a sliced house and the idea of being welcome into our virtual house in a time where we can't invite members of the public into our real houses
-warm tones, pinks and reds
-customize our virtual rooms in our own aesthetic
-need to come up with a typography style
Publicity:
-giveaways
-website
-social media
-putting posters around uni and leeds
-barcode stickers linking you to our website
-stickers unique to our rooms
