504 - Design Production, Design For Screen, Gif Experiments

Gif Experiments 

Feedback from a recent crit was that a that a GIF could be used to show the mass of style individual without being overly decorative and distract from the site features. The header idea currently is used to reflect the style on the site, these is a range of different time frames, trends and style portray by these therefore using these in a gif might allow the the site to reflect all these style in combination.

GIF HEADER TO REFLECT RANGE OF STYLE IN ONCE FEATURE

A GIF feature for the site would also taken advantage of the on screen design media being used to create this site, it would be a feature that could only be applied to the site via this medium.

This would enhance the engagement of the user with the site as it would create a constantly change feature on the page that would keep their attention whilst reflect the aesthetic of the brand.

After effect has been used to create this mock up gif, the headers last for 1 second each this is o the audience can read the text to make the header functional whilst seeing the style reflected.

This gift shows how the header would look on the website for the band, how they would change and where they would be places, this allowed feedback to be collected for this idea.

feeedback -
'the header GIF make the site more interesting
reflect the style well, the design is on point
GIF time frame works well as the can still be read
make it quicker maybe? the first one seem to be there ages so i might not see it if i was quickly look at the site
personally its too much with the design of the site, its too busy
its more interesting so causes me to look at the site for longer.
good idea
i like the GIF part

Since the overall feedback for this element of the design as positive the GIF style headers will be applied to the final site on all the main pages, female, male, vegan , unisex and outfit as the headers for the pages.As the pages where designed to all have different headers the pages will have different GIF set, these will use unique design style and trends for the pages.
