Week 11: EXP3 1st draft

The Bridge.

The 2 clients chosen are Lady Gaga and Jonathan Ive. Gaga's space is on the right, having a very bizarre form(which suits her appearance in entertainment industry), gigantic enough seemingly engulfing Ive's space on the left.(Gaga is higher profile than Ive) Ive's space has this large tall tower that seems to be protecting a smaller tower behind it. (explaining that Ive is a low profile but important man behind the success of a big iconic product: iPhone, iPad etc.)

Lady Gaga's space.

Her elevator.

The elevator has the form of organ that will raise up as she enters. This echo the reaction she will get when she enters the stage, all her fans will stood up and cheers for her. Her appearance makes you feel uneasy sitting down.

Jonathan Ive's space.

His elevator.

The elevator takes the form of a microchip. When enter, those small little block around it will move in and attached to the elevator to power it. This coheres with the idea of Ive's today success is dependant on the teamwork of his design team. The form of microchip gives us an idea of small things that change the advancement of technology. (relating to iPod, iPhone.)

The dining table.

Ive will be sitting on the left and Gaga on the right. The two table legs having distinct size gives the idea of the relationship between the two clients. The large curve leg of course symbolize Gaga's celebrity like influential, and seems to be devouring the smaller cylinder leg representing Ive's low profile.

Elevetor scheme for Lady Gaga.

Week 9: Mashup Articles (refined version)

A musician whose hooky dance tunes would barely rate a second playing on karaoke night, yet who made it all but impossible to avert one's gaze from her ongoing spectacle. She immediately displayed an enormous talent. Her passion to keep going and her attention to detail set her way. way apart from anything the majority of her contemporaries could produce. A single unlikely figure raised the flag for style and its power to confound, bewitch and amuse. More than an ordinary pop star or fashion muse, she devoted her life to making sure all our lives are better. She is champion of even the youngest of victims - the victimes of child sex crimes. It is amazing that one single woman was able to come to the rescue of many of the country's youngest victimes in a way no one previously could imagine possible. With her in your corner, you are no longer a victim. Her ability and track record have earned her unprecendented trust. She is particularly good on a broad basis, in that she can work on anything. Whatever she touches, it seems to turn to gold right before our very eyes. There will be time when there would be "new categories of people" being "put up there" as stars. She is rigged for that stardom. She is a real-life avatar.
