For project 3, I chose the story on old technology. The main idea of the story is about the increasing demand for older technologies, such as, vinyl records and Polaroid cameras. Vinyl records are the main focus of the story, which is why I chose “Vinyl Revival” as the headline, since there has been a rise in demand for vinyl records after years of slowing dwindling sales. To conceptually convey the idea of v records making a come back, I looked for inspiration in heart monitors to show that vinyl is not yet dead. I subtly used the rising and falling pulses to convey the diminishing demand of vinyl and then a sudden jump up to show that there is still a want of vinyl, by consumers. I also added a recorded needle to make it clear that the pulse is being created by vinyl records. For the headline font, I used a 16-bit font face to convey a sense a downgrade to draw upon the old technology concept. The green color I used was from the color palette of the film The Matrix (1999), I felt that the bright green is not only eye catching, but also provides a retro feel, drawing on the old computer screens with bright green code on a black background. Finally, for pages 3 &4, I took the grid background on the spread and used it in the side bar. I also added the pulse and record needle to the bottom the page to further connect the opening spread image with the remainder of the story.
