Augmented Poster
Fall 2024
Solo Project
The problem that was solved was to make a printout poster, and augment it in a 3D space using Adobe Aero. This AR poster is about time slipping away, losing yourself to the mundane day to day tasks and not stopping to enjoy the rewards in life. This project is a dark poster in black and white, with a morbid and slightly unsettling undertone. The goal was to make a poster that has two components and thus two storytelling elements, one being a printed poster and the second being an augmented layer of content. The biggest challenge that had to be overcome was the software itself. Aero was a beta program that has since been discontinued. Aero was extremely buggy and not all the controls did what they were designed to do. Being able to navigate through new, buggy software to tell a thought provoking story was the most difficult part of this process.
Changes had to be made to the final design due to software limitations. Outside of software, the type was challenging as well. There were 10-15 different versions of the type before landing on the final product. The biggest takeaway from this was learning how to build 3D interactions using augmentation, and how to properly utilize an augmented 3D space to tell a deep and meaningful story. This was achieved by playing with chronology of the storytelling and integrating interactivity into the design to engage the users.
