CONCEPT & IDEA01/05

Concept

Utilising the notion of predictions to interpret fakery as a positive thing by engaging with the audience through presenting information in a false context.

Outcomes

A wall hanging calendar series consisting of 6 420mm x 594mm full colour duplex printed sheets accompanied by a 72 page black & white publication that explains the concept and provides further details about the series.

Strategy

Pedictions is a calendar series that interprets the definition of fakery by tampering with true events; placing them outside their original context to mislead, trigger nostalgia, and remind people of past events.

The calendar series work functionally as a real calendar with correct dates, average temperatures based on past records and predictions on moon statuses. Each prediction is referenced from prominent events in the past, most of which are quite obscure and unknown whereas some are obvious, these have all been credited to the correct date but of a different year. The calendars aim to challenge the viewer’s

perception and reaction to these events. The series focus on events, weather, natural hazards, achievements of humankind and often subjects that are considered to be conspiracy theories or of the views of an individual.

This puts the viewer in control of how they define whether something is fake or not, touching upon the idea of fakery as being a subjective judgment by the individual.

The Predictions Calendar series aims to inspire, inform, remind and confuse the viewer in a friendly way. Some events mentioned are quite controvercial which feeds into the reality of

the real world. Some people will agree with it, whereas other would refuse to accept it. As a whole, this concept aims to intrigue and provides the user with something different to think about.

All content and research has been gathered from the internet, relating to the idea of the internet being a difficult environment to monitor data and information from. Therefore information for this series can be argued to be completely false, which forms the basis of the whole concept.

Calendar Development

3 of the numurous layout variations for the calendar development (refer to CD for PDF). Each exploring different grid systems, typefaces and layouts arrangements of information through type.

Publication Cover Development

Development of the front cover and an initial spread development. Design experiments with the gradient effects that has been developed in the calendars, a method of tying the two end solutions together. Margins: 12mm,16mm,12mm,12mm with 4mm gutters.

Publication Spread Development

Initial layout ideas working on an 8column grid, with 12mm,16mm,12mm,12mm margins and 4mm gutters. Bodoni Book for headline, Bodoni regular for page number and DINpro regular for copy.

Research

Vast amounts of research was carried out to determine the final concept. This continued throughout the rest of the development, which became the content that drove the design approach.

false, made up, misleading and often modified information commonly found in the internet due to the nature of it being nearly impossible to monitor and regulate.

Rather than making content up from scratch and labelling them as predictions, I wanted it to be more relavent and grounded with the concept, therefore to tie in with structure of a conventional calendar, I researched into

historical events for every 365.25 days of a year. Each date would be referenced to the exact date on the current calendar, except that it is being placed into the context of a 2012 calendar and appearing to be predictions. Events vary from prominent gigs in the 60’s to the invention of the 1st Apple Mac, all to cater for a wider audience of varying tastes, age and interests.

CALENDAR SPECIFICATION04/05

Design Direction

The general design of focused on the layout, method of arranging type and the balance between aesthetics and function of a calendar.

The approach of the gradient effect emphasizes the hierarchy of the layout whilst adding to the theme of time/ day & night. The colours of each month reflect the season and the part of the season that it fits in, creating a fresh look every month and a dynamic set of calendars when together.

Design Direction

In comparison to the calendar design, the publication acts as more of a guide and more indepth investigation into the concept, therefore adopts a more ‘manual’ like design to it. The design direction is relatively minimal with it’s emphasis on readability and the function of it as a booklet.

The publication acts as a complimentary copy for the viewer which comes with the calendar series. The approach follows the initial identity of the calendar and the layout in general works well as an archive of all the events but with more details, acting as a reference booklet.
