Swiss Type inspiration

Just wanted to look at some Swiss style type to influence my design for the Mitternacht project. More looking at layout and the way text is layed on a page as objects rather than choice of typeface.

Website's - Research

Simple home page from TDR with a animated gif showcasing work. Like the simplicity of the website and think something like this no frills website could work for the Mitternacht one.












TDR original website- really like the techno/futuristic feel that's apparnt through the text layout and title's. This could be adopted through into the Mitternacht website which will be well suited to the design direction.












Consult's website, again simple, clean and no frills ( apart from maybe a light box or loading flash bar) The website needs to hold and present a minimal amount of information but with maximum effect in legibility and site navigation again something i will take into mind when designing the Mitternacht website.












This web site from louche is the kind of thing i want to be aiming for, although this website is more of a blogger, letting people know whats going on and updating let's people feel involved with the event. The Mitternacht website could have something similar or a specific blog that is directed from the website.












Resident adviser is a website letting people know about virtually everything. New mixes every week from featured artist's and information on what's hot event's, artist's, mixes etc. This website hold a lot of information but i thought it would be good to look at the way it worked, looked etc as many of the audience will have used this website.











I have looked at lot of ICFF's work recently as they do a lot of work for European techno and dance music artist's. I also like the minimal clean approach they have used on there website, no fuss and frills much like Mitternacht it's self.












Lastly i decided to look a Jonny Cupckes website. The design direction and look is not something i will be looking at, more on how the website work and how its layed out. Again it seems clean simple website are the wy to go not only for function but also for atheistic look. I will be heading along these lines, Maybe see how minimal i can take reflecting on the no nonsense, no frills it's just a party attitude that is present throughout Mitternacht and its clientele.

More 4 idents.

Looking at idents that use simple shapes and seeing how far you can push movement, composition, and colour. Just looking for ideas again for the mitternacht web adverts.

O2 adverts

Something that i really like about the O2 commercials is the way movement and space is created from a 2d pictures. The way thing moves within the z axis create a sense that your moving with the imagery, i think the pace of the thing is also a key ingredient speeding up and slowing down creates pace and a feeling of slow and fast rather than a continuous pace which would be less engaging and feel like a chore.

Massive letter's

As far as design direction goes these idents for ABC1 Australia aren't anything i want to pursue but i am interested in placing massive 3d letter is places. I want to take this idea and use it within my motion graphic for the advertisement of mitternacht. I feel that using 3d looking letters will make the imagery more intresting and also feel it will impress and engage with its audience.

I have also though about using real 3d letters and stop frame animation or just clever photography. This could add something else to the final product and also stress's the hand made D.I.Y ethic of mitternacht.
