Little Dots & Slime Mold
I liked the “Pointer” image from the other day, so I started to play with the way that I wanted to represent the memories in the line. I started to play with the method for the icons and indicators. I hopes to show not only what the memory was but also who made the memory.
I started to like the Genomic one because of its emerging simplicity while also having a genomic electrophoresis map look to it. See below for an example. There was something beautiful emerging from this direction.
I also starting to play with little dots that looked more like timeline indicators as well. They started to have an almost slime mold look to them, and I wanted to keep playing with that theme. I loved the idea of life moments being represented by little buds popping up off of your life and then looking like the electrophoresis when they were connected.
I also started playing around with a display screen. While the timeline thing is fun to play with, I need to have a way to browse and view the memories from the timeline. You cans see below how that began to emerge
I think things are starting to feel really good with these directions. It’s fun to play with the art style of it all, but I need to start focusing on the actual interface and how the app will actually function.
