Semester 2 W5 | New Title Design

Now that my environment is coming into life, the initial title does not match the overall art style so it is necessary to redo it. The initial title design is more clean cut, it has the hyper sci-fi feel to it where is has more gradient, transparency and overall more refined and all these are opposite of the current style. I decided to draw it freehand again and I started with the adding an eye into the design. I figured that since the eye is a major symbolism in my project because the project is ultimately about being unable to "unsee" what has been seen, the eye has to be included ina nd I started just hand drawing it. I drew the letters in a way that ties together with my UI design but it turned out quite mediocre. Well, it was only my first try so I tried again.

I used a bold, straight font to try it on the design because existing typefaces to look more "formal" and put together, I have a liking to these type of fonts and the outcome of it was not very pleasant. It looked really forced and it just did not suit the aesthetics of my project. I used the same eye and pasted it in with the fonts and they don't look good together. The overall looked too modern for the project although it does have the dystopian vibe to it.

Next, I retry hand-drawing the title design again. I made the letters different in sizes to add some kind of variety, some strokes were longer/shorter than the other, some were sharper. This organic shaping is to give out the chaotic feel but still retaining the sense of calm/hope. There's a triangle cut out in the letter "R" to represent the warning icon that's typically Triangular. The triangle is used is also because they are frequently used to represent evil or the bad in things. Next, the panels in the back are signifying the monitors that are in the story, some line art was added into it to create more depth, else it would be quite plain. the symbols surrounding the title design are yes and no answers, circle being yes and "X" being no, symbolising decision making. This is the final design for the project as the colours and art style suit the project so much. It has the sketchy feeling I intended and the eye matches very well with the overall look and feel. Overall very satisfied with it and I can imagine this Title design incorporating in the project and it blends really well.
