Another #ScreenMediaExpo presentation we are looking forward to is on Day 1 Channel 2: “On Screen” 1030-1100.
It’s our old friend and DailyDOOH contributor Alex Hughes presenting on ‘Designing and Developing Content for new technologies: Christie Digital MicroTiles‘
In this presentation, Alex will be explaining why working with MicroTiles [1] is unlike working with any other screen out there – the resolutions are totally different, the shapes are unique and the way content is handled is also challenging.
His presentation will examines ways in which one can effectively design for MicroTiles: what works and what doesn’t, the challenges of designing content that works well on them and how to approach, from a creative perspective, different types of content projects using MicroTiles.
Alex will also present three case studies: –
- Pop Up Life: How to use 2D hi resolution Photography to create animated visually arresting 3D environments
- The Empire State Building: Designing for a purpose; creating a marketing tool for the Empire State Building and how shape was used to communicate the content more effectively
- Unusual shapes, unusual content – the more artistic approach to content development – creating a story with your content using stop frame animation techniques
