Exploring the arrangement of text and images

Exploring the arrangement of text and images

For the first round of designs, I integrated Jody Macdonald's photography on one side of the panel and Jonathan Bird's photography on the other side of the wall panel. Keeping Z by HP's brand guidelines, I incorporated gradients of black to make the images on each panel transition seamlessly.

After receiving feedback

After receiving feedback

Upon receiving feedback from our client, the client wanted more emphasis on Jonathan Bird and Jody Macdonald's photography. Hence, I extended the main image to cover 3 panels instead of 2 panels to highlight the photography. To still feature Z by HP's laptop product, I kept one of the side wall panels to feature its laptop product.

Final Iteration

Final Iteration

From additional feedback and iterations, the client wanted Jonathan Bird and Jody Macdonald's photography to be joined together more seamlessly so that the front and back panels could be more cohesive as one. From this feedback, I challenged myself to find photographs that have similar color tones. As a result, I made the images bleed over 2 or 3 panels and added a gradient of black on the edges between the images. Through this process, we were able to lock our designs for production.
