Being Human Final Design

Looking at the elements found in the human body, In Adobe Illustrator I connected all the protons and electrons tougher for each of the elements.

I then created a poster collection to show what percentage of each element is found in the Human body.

Abstract expressionism is the term applied to new forms of abstract art developed by American painters such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning in the 1940s and 1950s, often characterized by gestural brush-strokes or mark-making, and the impression of spontaneity.

Here is a list of Abstract Expression artists:

Now to share our research for the different contextual subjects we post in padlet and then we condense the research into our blogs

University Firm and Insurance Choices

After a long and hard think I decided to Firm Sheffield Hallam University and Nottingham Trent University as my Insurance. What made me choose sheffield was the opportunity of a placement year either within the UK or over seas, I can still work, Trip to new york in the second year and the course content was right for me. Finally the course was recognised by the Chartered Society of Designers.

University Offers

After a busy two weeks of Interviews for each University on the 24th of March i have finally received all of my Offers. All my offers were conditional which mean I had to meet a specific requirement. The condition was that I pass my Art and Design Foundation. My next step now is to Select a Firm and Insurance Choice.

Adobe Xd

On Monday Adobe released the Preview Version of the Project Comet now called Adobe Experiences Design CC

This Is what adobe had to say

Introducing Adobe Experience Design CC (Preview)

On behalf of the Project Comet team, I’m thrilled to let you know that Project Comet has become Adobe Experience Design CC (Preview), or Adobe XD as we refer to it. We’re making our first preview release for Mac OS available today, with a Windows version coming later this year. Everyone can use Adobe XD for free during the preview period – you can download it from Adobe.com or through the Creative Cloud desktop app.

While our team has been working to bring you Adobe XD for some time, this really represents the start of our journey to craft an end-to-end solution for experience design, one that Adobe is committed to undertaking in partnership with the UX design community. We’ve seen how designers think beyond just the visual design of a website or app, but also on optimizing and improving the overall user experience. You can read more about Adobe’s thoughts on Experience Design as a whole here.

For Adobe XD, we’ve received great input from over 5,000 designers as part of our pre-release program and are now excited to get your feedback on our public release as we continue working on Adobe XD.

Adobe XD makes it easy to undertake wire framing, visual design, interaction design, prototyping, previewing and sharing, by bringing together the tools you need for experience design into a single solution. We’re starting by delivering a basic set of tools in each of those areas, with the feedback we receive helping to determine the ultimate set of features that you need, while continuing to ensure we don’t compromise on delivering amazing performance and a comfortable design experience.

What’s in the public preview?

In this first preview release of Adobe XD you’ll find:

Focused design tools – create wireframes, screen layouts and production-ready artwork
Prototyping tools – define flows, triggers and transitions as part of your design
Built in sharing – create a video recording of your prototype or share a link to an interactive prototype hosted on Creative Cloud
Support for bringing in existing assets from Photoshop, Illustrator and Sketch
Blisteringly fast performance – create projects that bring together complex designs for web, mobile, tablet, watches and more, without any slow down.

As you get started with the preview release, be sure to check out the sample file available from the start screen, as well as our learn tutorials and documentation.

What’s still to come?

Being a preview release, we’re exposing a work-in-progress. This means you’re likely to find some gaps in the tools and likely wish for increased capabilities in a number of areas. We hope you’ll embrace the opportunity to join us on this exciting journey as we continue making progress on Adobe XD.

Based on the feedback we’ve already received, these are some of the areas that we’ve lined up to work on next:

Enhanced design features, including support for gradients, richer text, effects and blend modes
An improved color picker
Support for working with layers
More control over the sharing of prototype links
Authoring of scrollable content
Micro-interactions for prototyping
Real-time design preview and prototype testing on mobile devices (iOS and Android)
Reusability and sharing of design assets and styles, leveraging Creative Cloud libraries
An extensibility/API layer for plug-ins
Availability on Microsoft Windows 10 (preview release estimated for late 2016)

Our team will be delivering updates to Adobe XD every month, with a mix of new features, enhancements to existing features and bug fixes, so you’ll see us move fast to deliver these additional capabilities to you as part of Adobe XD.

I then had an Idea for my being human project to design a application that represents what my installation is and it will present the information about being human.

For My Alternative Miss World I am now going to design a live prototype of the Loci Application.
