- creating a poster for "Cellphone Symphony" - Golan Levin
- creating random list of phone numbers to use for visual imagery for the poster.
- Devise a system to turn the numbers to visual form - can use digital and or manual processes to manipulate and implement the system.
For this exercise we got into groups of eight and created visual responses on how we could create design for 'Cellphone Symphony' using our phones. In our group we decided to split the information up and wrote the information in different apps in our phones in order to get a variation of ways text can look and be produced.
Some of us used apps like Snapchat to use san serif type that's quite clean while some of use wrote down the info. on notes to have a more rough hand writing style, this made our design more varied and interesting as the mix of actual fonts and handwriting created a nice contrast and looked really playful.
We also experimented with using video, by capturing our phones getting notifications as it created a series of phones lighting up in different order which was quite interesting because it was all in random and the info that pop up was actually information for the event.
In addition, we also tried stacking the phones together giving it more depth and interesting shapes coming out from the picture of the stacked image. If it was taken further, maybe the shape created would've been used as a grid for further information. Also we put the design on a bit of context by holding our phones in the picture to show the importance of bring your phone to the event, it also puts emphasis on the phones and people will easily get the context of the poster through the image.

Overall, I think this exercise let us experiment and use different techniques in a relatively short amount of time and helped us start thinking about ideas for our own poster designs.
