Pastel colours.

The stock choice for these books are really nice, all the colours work great with solid black imagery and type, i would like to keep a simple but effective design delivering the message clearly.

Gradient. 2

Sadly another un-sourced piece of design found on tumblr, again similar idea to mine for the gradient running through the book, i want to experiment with paper folds, die cuts and stock.

Generation press x Build

A generation press and build colaboration, the aesthetics of build design crossed with generation press's crisp print quality combine beautifully with this piece, i particularly like the colour using a pantone swatch look could be a nice look for my light waves book.

Gradient.

Unfortunately an unsourced piece of design found on tumblr the gradient is great and similar to what i had in mind for my light waves book, i want to create a gradient running through the pages of the book as apposed to just the cover.

If i screen print the book it would create a much more interesting gradient and smoother, plus it save me a lot of money.

Doppler Effect.

Another path i could take the colour selection with, although there is quite a lot of information and not many visuals to take from this so i'm unsure just yet.

A blueshift is any decrease in wavelength (increase in frequency); the opposite effect is referred to as redshift. In visible light, this shifts the colour from the red end of the spectrum to the blue end. The term also applies when photons outside the visible spectrum (e.g. x-rays and radio waves) are shifted toward shorter wavelengths, as well as to shifts in the de Broglie wavelength of particles. Blueshift is most commonly caused by relative motion toward the observer, described by the Doppler effect.

In physics (especially astrophysics), redshift happens when light seen coming from an object that is moving away is proportionally increased in wavelength, or shifted to the red end of the spectrum. More generally, where an observer detects electromagnetic radiation outside the visible spectrum, "redder" amounts to a technical shorthand for "increase in electromagnetic wavelength" — which also implies lower frequency and photon energy in accord with, respectively, the wave and quantum theories of light. 

Light waves.

Trying to think a little more outside the box for colour i chose to look into Light waves due to light being the things that creates colour, or what is known as visible colour, there are actually a much larger range of colours that we ourselves can't see but do still exist.

Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light has wavelength in a range from about 380 nanometres to about 740 nm, with a frequency range of about 405 THz to 790 THz. In physics, the term light sometimes refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not.
Primary properties of light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarisation, while its speed in a vacuum, 299,792,458 meters per second (about 300,000 kilometers per second), is one of the fundamental constants of nature.

Light, which is emitted and absorbed in tiny "packets" called photons, exhibits properties of both waves and particles. This property is referred to as the wave–particle duality. The study of light, known as optics, is an important research area in modern physics.

Orbit.

Researching shape brought me into thinking about shapes created by moving objects i.e. paths, and i feel one of the most interesting types of paths is Orbits, some planets in orbit draw almost perfect circles, i would love to explore this idea further but i feel i have pushed designs for outer space a little far, so if i can find another path way i would prefer to take that other wise i will further research into this area.

Bats.

Again looking at sound, this time a more natural approach, Bats are blind and only fly at night, by the sound of it pretty useless creatures of flight, but fortunately due to millions of years of evolution bats have developed a technique called Echo location.

Echolocation, also called biosonar, is the biological sonar used by several kinds of animals. Echolocating animals emit calls out to the environment and listen to the echoes of those calls that return from various objects near them. They use these echoes to locate and identify the objects. Echolocation is used for navigation and for foraging (or hunting) in various environments.

Super Sonic.

Looking into sound for our current Image brief the book fair, after seeing sound as one of the four pathways, i instantly thought of the physics of sound and the sound 'Barrier'.

Sound, has laws of physics like everything else in this universe, these laws restrict the speed of sound to 1,236 kmph / 768 mph at sea level, with sound having this sound barrier it means it can be broken, and as with every rule humans discover we felt the need to break it, this could be an interesting route to take this brief, i have realised recently, i am hugely drawn towards taking my projects in the direction of science and physics.

Bicycle.

Looking at exploring the bicycle wheel through time, an interesting path, with plenty of variation through the timeline of the wheel, unsure weather people could tell the wheels are from a bike thought, the spokes are a dead give away i suppose.

Snellen chart.

Snellen charts or better known as eye exam charts is what this week image brief is based on, we must take our object and in the same layout / design as a snellen chart communicate clearly what our subject matter is. here are a few snellen charts i have found.
