I know I probably should have posted earlier, but I'm still a bit confused about which steps are important to upload here, so I'll just mark roughly where I am now and go from there.
I've now officially visited all three of my locations, and collected photos, as well as brainstorming 2 pages for each on icons/colours/emotive qualities etc. My next step is narrowing down the artistic style I wish to use for my design.
I've already done some research and collected images of styles I like, and have made a couple of rough mock-ups (though I am not too keen on either of them). I honestly feel like I'm a bit behind at this point though, I'd like to have a better idea of the direction I want to pick, and more mock-ups. I find I struggle at until I latch onto something I like, but hopefully inspiration will strike. It's hard to advance the project until I've really filled out this step. I think what I need to do is work on volume, and try out as many approaches as possible.
Because of my target audience (youth/family) I probably don't want anything too slick or minimal, a more exciting and vibrant look would work better, especially to convey the feel of excitement/fun that should go with my theme (indoor sports/rec).
In class we did a drawing exercise where we were expected to make drawings on an object from our location with a receding time limit, using different tools. This helped to generate a lot of material, which even if we chose not to use later on in our work might inform our art/design.
