Location/Demographics/Accessibility Frankfurt, Germany - Project Development

-

This will be research about my major project's location which is Frankfurt, Germany and I will be also researching demographics and accessibility. 


Location

Frankfurt is a central city on the river Main in Germany and it is the fifth largest financial and business city in Germany and the wealthiest city in Europe. It is a great city for entrepreneurs and innovators, and is also known for its "prosperous economy". It provides a wonderful environment for international corporations/companies opening offices and headquarters but it is also known for its amazing nightlife and diversity and it also has an excellent transportation system. The weather changes according to the season, usually, it is really warm in the summer with some exception of light rain but in the winter it is really cold.


Demographics


The population of Germany is 84,499,611 (2023) which is 1.07% of the world population. 





Frankfurt's population is 821,121 (2023), it is a culturally and ethically diverse city with 51,2% of people being immigrants (2015). It homes 180 nationalities which makes Frankfurt a multicultural city.







Accessibility

It will be located near the City West neighborhood, it is a great area for office buildings and businesses.







There are a lot of transportation options, there are bus and tram stops, taxi services nearby, and even limousine services. The main roads close to the location will have an exit to the left that will drive straight to the building's private access road.

Week 5 further research

-
Image
 In week 5 of planning, I'm doing some more research. Today I'm researching Rem Koolhaas, a Dutch architect who is known for his gravity-defying structures. His innovative and futuristic style has been setting standards for years, he thinks that "Terms like city, street, identity, and architecture are things of the past. The past is too small to live in". One of his famous works is the "De Rotterdam" building, this is a multifunctioning building, (a great work to look up to since my project revolves around multifunctional requirements as well), he describes his work as a "vertical city".                                                                                      The De Rotterdam  This building is located  at  Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam, he design...

 This is my process of creating my boards for my final art portfolio project, using Photoshop.  First I created a new document by clicking on 'New File', then 'print', 'A3', and chose the landscape mode. after my page was open I went on 'Unsplash' to find a related background.  Then I clicked on 'File' that's at the top left corner, 'open' and 'on your computer' and chose the image that I downloaded.  After that, I selected the image with the 'rectangular marquee' tool which is the first icon on the left toolbar and then clicked on 'edit', 'copy' and then went to my first page, clicked on 'edit' again and pasted it. Then from the right tool bar I lowered the opacity to 40% which is located at the 'layers' category.  Then I followed the same steps with uploading my concept image and arranged the size and placement by clicking on the 'move' tool and then clicking on 'show trans...

research about creating my own advert

  Here is some research I did to find information that I need to include in my advert.    First I looked for images that represent what I want to advertise, something that has to do with nature but of course, the main topic is the headphones, and found these ones that I liked : Then I searched what I need to know about headphones, what is important, and what new features you can find in headphones now such as wireless connection, clear and loud sound, and noise cancellation. I also looked at some other headphone adverts for inspiration and noticed what they prioritized and how they made them look interesting and not boring to look at with easy-reading texts and logos like this image below for example : image references :  - GoodFon (online) Available from:  https://www.goodfon.com/wallpaper/naushniki-priroda-osen-les.html  (Accessed 18th October ) - Unsplash , Music yo my ears by Sara Dubler (Online) Available from:    https://unsplash.com/photos/...
