Here i had got some images from 'GETTY IMAGES' to help me with ideas off cctv, the concept here was to demonstrate how we are being watched, my point was more towards the government. A lot of these images worked well demonstrating cctv to be like monsters, some showing them as arms and a head. The idea i liked was the pan were just the camera was viewed, also i found interesting the camera were it's lens was red, made it look evil. So i went forward with making a stencil of a camera shape, along with a target sign to show it as a spy eye, also i put a bar code on it to represent people as if it was counting people.

Harry beck was the designer for the underground london tunnel maps. I liked the way he had points connected with circles, and how lines are composed. Use of colour to indicate how each line is different, in a different route or so. I wanted to go on and adapt it in to my designs.

These pieces of Paula Scher work was quite interesting, great use of colour, stands out well, the main thing i was looking at here was the way typography has been used and applied to the design, I wanted to adapt this idea to my banners. Typography has been adjusted by composition, sizing and tracking.

My original idea was to do an animation here was a template of what my idea was. labeled and numbered in order.

















Stage 1 being the start of this sequence and progressing onto each part i was planning on going onto in detail.













Here i drew a person highlighting the parts i wanted to talk about, My idea was to have a human body and then making points of the body and blowin them parts up into detail, in how DNA and identity link with any human.














Here were some designs i looked at to help inspire me, here i was looking at more background ideas, making it look something of an instruction manual. I liked the effect of the lines the way 3d diamention is created. Also i reali liked how the robot background effect was done, i found the circle design quite effective and wanted to use it further into my idea.







Here were some sketches of background ideas.

This was a template of an idea in how i was thinking to set out my design, i changed the idea of animation into a big poster design, were i wanted to use imagery and typography.

This peace was done by Jhonathon Barnbrook I liked this because of the composition, and minimal use of color, but yet stands out well. I liked the composition in how his work was centerd and everything evolves around it. This was similar to my idea of having a human in the middle and things evolving around that.

Here I liked the use of typography how sizes were played with, along with different fonts, composition was used well, seems like there is a few elements going on at once. Minimal color works well, looks something off a chewing gum rapper.

The Barnbrook design below, I find it interesting and use this for my source of inspiration, I like the line designs and the use of composition. This piece seems like a design with an effect off layering some pieces coming before others, i liked the use of minimal colors along with how they blend in well.

Here i liked

the idea of

the circle design I wanted to imply it on to my design. Muller Brockmann has some good template designs which I take inspiration from, a lot being circle style designs.

This is work from Josef muller Brockmann and Barnbrooks work. I looked at these pieces for inspiration for my design idea, i liked the idea were Brockmann has used the circle designs, I would like to imply that to my design, also i like the layer and composition that both Barnbrook and Muller Brockmann use.

DNA - Deoxyribonucleic Acid

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is the genetic blueprint for each cell and ultimately the blueprint that determines every characteristic of a living organism.

The DNA molecule was discovered in 1951 by Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins using X-ray diffraction. In 1953 Crick described the structure of the DNA molecule as a double helix, somewhat like a sprial staircase with many individual steps. In 1962 Crick, Watson, and Wilkins received the Nobel prize for their pioneering work on the structure of the DNA molecule.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), is genetic material of all cellular organisms and most viruses. DNA carries the information needed to direct protein synthesis and replication. Protein synthesis is the production of the proteins needed by the cell or virus for its activities and development. Replication is the process by which DNA copies itself for each descendant cell or virus, passing on the information needed for protein synthesis. In most cellular organisms, DNA is organized on chromosomes located in the nucleus of the cell.

Structure

A molecule of DNA consists of two chains, strands composed of a large number of chemical compounds, called nucleotides, linked together to form a chain. These chains are arranged like a ladder that has been twisted into the shape of a winding staircase, called a double helix. Each nucleotide consists of three units: a sugar molecule called deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four different nitrogen-containing compounds called bases. The four bases are adenine (abbreviated A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). The deoxyribose molecule occupies the center position in the nucleotide, flanked by a phosphate group on one side and a base on the other. The phosphate group of each nucleotide is also linked to the deoxyribose of the adjacent nucleotide in the chain. These linked deoxyribose-phosphate subunits form the parallel side rails of the ladder. The bases face inward toward each other, forming the rungs of the ladder.

The nucleotides in one DNA strand have a specific association with the corresponding nucleotides in the other DNA strand. Because of the chemical affinity of the bases, nucleotides containing adenine are always paired with nucleotides containing thymine, and nucleotides containing cytosine are always paired with nucleotides containing guanine. The complementary bases are joined to each other by weak chemical bonds called hydrogen bonds.

In 1953 American biochemist James Watson and British biophysicist Francis Crick published the first description of the structure of DNA. Their model proved to be so important for the understanding of protein synthesis, DNA replication, and mutation that they were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for their work.

Protein Synthesis

DNA carries the instructions for the production of proteins. A protein is composed of smaller molecules called amino acids, and the structure and function of the protein is determined by the sequence of its amino acids. The sequence of amino acids, in turn, is determined by the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA. A sequence of three nucleotide bases, called a triplet, is the genetic code word, or codon, that specifies a particular amino acid. For instance, the triplet GAC (guanine, adenine, and cytosine) is the codon for the amino acid leucine, and the triplet CAG (cytosine, adenine, and guanine) is the codon for the amino acid valine. A protein consisting of 100 amino acids is thus encoded by a DNA segment consisting of 300 nucleotides. Of the two polynucleotide chains that form a DNA molecule, only one strand, called the sense strand, contains the information needed for the production of a given amino acid sequence. The other strand aids in replication.

Protein synthesis begins with the separation of a DNA molecule into two strands. In a process called transcription, a section of the sense strand acts as a template, or pattern, to produce a new strand called messenger RNA (RNA). The RNA leaves the cell nucleus and attaches to the ribosomes, specialized cellular structures that are the sites of protein synthesis. Amino acids are carried to the ribosomes by another type of RNA, called transfer (RNA). In a process called translation, the amino acids are linked together in a particular sequence, dictated by the RNA, to form a protein.

A gene is a sequence of DNA nucleotides that specify the order of amino acids in a protein via an intermediary mRNA molecule. Substituting one DNA nucleotide with another containing a different base causes all descendant cells or viruses to have the altered nucleotide base sequence. As a result of the substitution, the sequence of amino acids in the resulting protein may also be changed. Such a change in a DNA molecule is called a mutation. Most mutations are the result of errors in the replication process. Exposure of a cell or virus to radiation or to certain chemicals increases the likelihood of mutations.

Replication

In most cellular organisms, replication of a DNA molecule takes places in the cell nucleus and occurs just before the cell divides. Replication begins with the separation of the two-polynucleotide chains, each of which then acts as a template for the assembly of a new complementary chain. As the old chains separate, each nucleotide in the two chains attracts a complementary nucleotide that has been formed earlier by the cell. The nucleotides are joined to one another by hydrogen bonds to form the rungs of a new DNA molecule. As the complementary nucleotides are fitted into place, an enzyme called DNA polymerase links them together by bonding the phosphate group of onenucleotide to the sugar molecule of the adjacent nucleotide, forming the side rail of the new DNA molecule. This process continues until a new polynucleotide chain has been formed alongside the old one, forming a new double-helix molecule.
