EXPRESS YOURSELF

EXPRESS YOURSELF

This project investigates how fashion is used as a form of self expression within students. The concept is based around a workshop designed for creative students. The project will revolve around the themes of fashion and self-expression and how the two themes can integrate within each other. We will run a workshop in which it will allow the participants to design and create their own unique tote bags which allows them to express what they like, their hobbies, styles and fashion sense. The workshop will work by allowing the participants to design their own tote bags using Adobe Illustrator which will then be printed onto a physical tote bag using screen print.

 

RedEye Designs

RedEye Designs

RedEye Designs is a project which wants to explore storytelling through the means of new technology such as Virtual Reality. RedEye Designs have recreated the story of Fionn MacChuill and his fight against The Dragon.

The established story is that Fionn MacChuill travels 3 days and 3 nights to the Hill of Tara, where he confronts the High King wanting to become the leader of the Fianna. However, Fionn must first kill the dragon that rules over the land. After sucking his thumb, Fionn knows to use the spike of the spear to stay awake as the Dragon sings his lullaby and puts the village to sleep. Once the Dragon is slayed by Fionn, he is rewarded the throne and leads the Fianna into battles for many years.

A website will be included in the production as a host area for the VR video, Character Bibliography, Group information and Research.

Secrets of the Shining Fox

Secrets of the Shining Fox

Our project is an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) game designed to encourage and promote safe online communication among young adults. This project illustrates the possible consequences of a superficial attitude towards online safety. For example, communicating with strangers and trusting them with sensitive information without prior knowledge of their real identity or motives.  

The fictional ARG story of the Secrets of the Shining Fox was designed to demonstrate the risks of communicating online through the eyes of its main character Inari. It is within the ARG that the audience/player follow Inari’s progress and experiences.  

This project utilises a selection of online platforms: YouTube, Twitter, websites, dropbox and google drive.
