Illustration Idea

The illustration that I thought of doing is semi realistic type. I got some inspiration example online, however, I'm still unsure of the illustration would be like. The illustration example shown below will be my approach on the design. Since most door ambient media has connection to the door knob, I'm thinking of changing a little of the design execution to implement the use the of the door knob.

Lenticular trial

I tried to do a lenticular mock up so at least I can roughly manage my time to create the final and it is also to test whether I'm able to do it or not. I found a simple DIY tutorial to create this media and as it stated, it is really simple and easy. Since it's only a mock up, I use the thickest paper I could find at the moment, which ended up with a color paper.

The tutorial site : http://content.photojojo.com/diy/how-to-make-lenticular-images/

Using these two images :-

Both figure are from google images

I would say that it turned out okay. The material I will try using cardstock since the site recommended it. 

Research pin-point

There are many things that needed to be further research about and it is not only the execution section. To be able to convey the message well, I have to understand in both the parents and children's point of view. Hence, I came up with a few questions that can guide me in doing the research and at the same time manage it properly to finalize this project well.

Missing child:
- What mostly causes it ? I'm sure not all of them ran on their own.
- What are the parents doing when their child got kidnapped / lost?
- In the child's point of view, what do you think the child is feeling when that happened? Like do they follow willingly because of the candy given by the stranger or the sweet talk?

Mirror:
- What I have posted before; fully mirrored or partially?
- What kind of message is strong enough to be convey to aware parents of this matter?

Door (lenticular):
- What is most suitable material to create this?
- Should the door be fully covered or just in the middle?
- Will this technique work? What is the suitable angle for the images depending on the height?
- What are the average height of the children below 12? What about the adults?
- What is visual is most efficient to convey the message; realistic, semi-realistic or graphic? Though I would pick semi realistic.


Also:
- Will I be able to manage this project efficiently? I should have a timeline for this!

Execution Ideas (Mirror)

From the idea I have on this medium is the mirror that have a sticker on it. Since it's a prototype, I haven't figured out whether for the final of the mirror should it be fully mirror or just that particular section only that is a mirror. Just like what I have proposed before, the part where the  reflection of the child will be where the missing kid picture is posted.

In the figure below, I have create a wireframe of how the design would be like. This is just a rough and the color have not been decided yet. However, one color is definite that is red as it gives warning and it can easily grab attention. It may change if there's any other better way of conveying this message.

I added the 'xxxxxx' to indicate the information stated as what all missing kids' poster have; that is name, age and the last seen of the child. The mirror is purposely positioned at the bottom as most missing children are most consists of the younger age.

Also, compare this media and the lenticular art, this seems to be easier. Hence, I might be doing this first so that later I can concentrate more on the other.

Presentation day

Today is the day where we present our ideas and thankfully it went well. Just before the presentation starts, I tried searching for infos if there's any recent cases of missing child and good thing nothing turns up. Well hopefully. Anyway, this is what I presented; my proposed idea and it titled "Missing Alert".
