Brainstorms and initial logo/page ideas

Here I had a look at the history of New Media Art which began, as with many new art movements, in the 1960’s. The Dadaists would have been one of the major forerunners, and were Art Revolutionaries. As with their philosophy the goal of New Media Art is not primarily to entertain, but to break boundaries and challenge conventional perceptions of Art.

Here I have looked at New Media Art in all its forms to better understand the nature of the medium itself and what is available to display on the site. There is a vast and growing pool of work available and the choice of display will depend on the research and which stand out as interesting or appealing.

Ideas here for the logo and Homepage layout. The word Meta itself is interesting and has many different meanings and i began my brainstorming by looking at definitions and attempting to incorporate some of these in sketches.

Further sketches and ideas for the site, and I found the idea of using a stage to provide a sense of unveiling and presenting appealing. This was going to be an old fashioned stage to convey history, however, as New Media Art is a contemporary movement I believe a modern stage setting is more appropriate .
