Screen shot 01- Threshold of Bitmap Trace at Maximum and all Assets in Position

Threshold of Bitmap Trace is decreased.

The font is from the Harry Potter movie fonts. I placed it in the middle to show that this is Hogwarts. I also embedded decorative fonts that were musical notes to show the soundtrack that's used is usually the scene of the opening scene of Hogwarts and fits the flying car. I decreased the threshold of the bitmap trace to show the details of the castle and to show that the flying car which Harry and Ron uses to fly to the school when they miss the train. The image enlarges at high octave notes and gives a psychedelic experience as the car travels through the sky and heading towards Hogwarts. The colour palette is used from the scene of the Hogwarts school and gives the mystery feel to the scene.

WHITE WINE LABEL DESIGN

I used the Kuler application to choose the hues of the tan, olive, and red to create my white wine label design. I wanted my white wine label to convey relaxation, classy, and elegance.

Simple Ballistic Hypeframe

The colour palette was hues of red, tan, and olive green. The colours still give a fun, carefree, and elegant style. The hype frame that was used was simple ballistic, but I changed the rotation value for the gravity angle, the size of the target object for the second set of simple ballistic, increased the drag, and minimum force, and maximum force with less gravity to give the illusion that the circles are spilling downwards and faster speed. The smaller circles are to give the illusion of fizz of the bubbles that are bursting into the air.

White Wine Label Design

The bubbles are escaping from the wine glass to give a carefree and fun. However the wine is contained and the bubbles are floating slowly. The motion of the white wine poured into the wine glass is smooth and slow. The white wine is supposed to be for elegant occasions such as anniversary that you sip it slowly and enjoy it. The tan background harmonizes with the bubbles and yet contrasts with the olive green of the bubbles. 

Final White Wine Label Design

The colour of the bottle is tan which unifies with the background of the label. I feel that this wine label design is minimal in colour and simplistic in design, but it contrasts the multi-layered and vibrancy of my red white label design.

This image spoke to me because the red is vibrant and the mood is energetic. I liked the strokes of the lines that were organic and give an atmosphere of flowing and splashing across the canvas. This made me think of red wine splashing into the glass or spilling over the glass and love the vibrancy of the red that will  emphasis the richness of the wine. 

The idea for my red wine label was to create a vivacious and energetic mood of red wine. I wanted the wine drinker to feel that energy and feel alive and passion when they drink it. The hype frame that I used was the Simple Ballistic where I changed the values of the trigger points, colour values via colour pool, and size of the points of the ballistic point. There are 2 different ballistic points to show depth and variety and they're triggered randomly. The blobs become lines that stream down and that show that motion of pouring wine in a glass. 

Simple Ballistic hypeframe- Wine spillage on the screen

The red wine was to spill over the glass. The spillage is conveying having a good time and that the party doesn't stop since it's spilling over the wine glass. The background is a pink champagne colour that still makes the ballistic points be the focal point and unifies it. The wine is called "Le Vin de Vie", which means the wine of life and the tagline is 'Let's Celebrate'. The red wine is to drink at a party scene. The spillage was created by copying, moving, and pasting the same layer over again that creates the illusion that the wine is spilling over and that each spill is happening at different times. 

Label Design for Red Wine

This is the image of the red wine label on the bottle. This was the final design of the red wine. The bottle is a shade of purple to fit in the family of purples and reds. The label is wrapped in the front of the bottle. The bottle was created with the 3D revolve tool in Illustrator and just made the outline of one side of the bottle. The text, spillage and red wine was made into a symbol and then 3D mapped on it. The colour choice for the bottle is to unify the label with the bottle and to give a classy look and a punch of colour also.

Interactive Storytelling and 3D printing- April 4-15, 2013

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfSoEWAQ7Qw

This video was interesting because it tells us how important it to delve and be apart of the story and
that you decide the life altering changes to make either solely or with other players. It's a reason that it becomes addicting and that we really immerse ourselves. Watching a movie will make you passive where you comment and identify with characters, but it's like you wish why did this happen and wished that something else could have happened.

This video is informative of the changes and direction that 3d printing is going. It was cool that you can make food, make organs with our own blood cells and genetics to replace damaged organs, to even creating 3d form of an ultrasound, and making household objects. It was eye-opening that you can make a 3d print of a mechanism to replace the broken part of that object such as a stroller that would cost less to replace and also how manufacturing will change. It's great that Shapeway (a company) that prints out 3d objects for you at $20 and then help you to sell it.

I love the simplicity and repetition. It's watching the creation of life from an embryo to full form. The colours are soothing and it's gradual transitions that make you pay attention to detail and enjoy the subtlety of the size, depth, complexity, and it evolving.

I was thinking of using a dance song named "Alive" by the artist, Krewella to make the text, alive, be small and insignificant to it changing in size and vibrating and pulsing on the screen. I want it to swirl around as a roller coaster.

NEW IDEAS AND CONCEPTS IN FLASH INDUSTRY- 3/11/13-3/18/13

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74JdyzoTQcc
New ways of seeing and interpretation are being brought by Jared Ficklin. It's interesting how this device that he creates can allow a reality to be shared as a collective. You can see each action and movement that's recorded and it's reading images than words.

This link was interesting because it really explains the term, interactive choreography. Interactive choreography is teaching 3D space to people through virtual movement such as via Kinect. I love the drawing tool where using the Kinect stick, you can create your own art. It maps out your body and movement in 3D space which is seen by people dancing projected on the screen, moving from tile to tile which is shows your corresponding location on the same tile board on the screen, and trying to match the same position for the wall game. This makes the 3D space be flexible and intuitive which makes sense since our thinking isn't always linear, abstract, and visual.

This link made me think it's important to do just what you love. The passion and creativity that these artists have are ideas that have been thought of creating different realities or creating reality that mimics our interaction with our world entirely. I remember watching a Ted Talk in Sumit's interactivity class where you can use your phone to find the ingredients of an item without needing the help of someone to scan, but having you're own personal scanner. I like the idea of having another copy of you in another place in the world or creating a space where the computer is a person and having that intimate and real-time conversation. I like the idea of creating another world entirely that you don't have to immerse yourself in; rather it'll just be as if you're living as you're living on planet Earth. This makes me think that we're interacting with space and environments from just pointing and touching to actually making it malleable where it fits and responds to our voice, body, and senses.

MAKE WORK EXCITING, HAVE PASSION, THINK OF CHILDHOOD WHEN YOU DREW WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD AND MOST HAPPY, WHAT DEFINES YOU? ( I love detail, abstract thinker, think more of ideas better and more confident and most work go into: pre-production, designing: have more fun when I don't think of deadlines, can make mistakes, not assignment, etc. take more time to do work than a fast worker, get zoned in)

BEING DIFFERENT AND SAYING YOU'RE DIFFERENT IS JUST NOT ENOUGH TODAY, DIVULGE INTO WHAT'S NOT MAINSTREAM AND BE YOU.

Technology is being an extension of our human body-we can record our moments what we see, share it and bridge with people that can share in our experience simultaneously, being mulit-tasker: e.g. research while creating, learning while doing.

More information and direction for 3D printing. Love that you can take your abstract idea and make it physical and concrete and that's tangible; that can be used as a way to sample and showcase 3D objects.

I like the simplicity of his work and just this artist's determination and spirit to use Flash in an entirely different way. I liked that he learned new things and the transition process for coding. Here are some more details in his journey in Flash.

Flash events-Global Game Jam (Jan 25-27 2013)

For the K-12-focused Digital Learning Day on Feb.6, 2013, Adobe Gaming used the opportunity to connect with students—many of whom had limited previous computer experience—tackle the task of building a game with Adobe Flash Professional. Besides introducing them to Adobe Flash Professional, Adobe helped kids from different backgrounds collaborate in ways that made the best use of each student’s unique skills and interests, whether those interests included zombies or American history.

Achieving digital literacy through game design is also one of the goals of Globaloria, an Adobe education partner. Globaloria is a turnkey academic curriculum that uses a social learning network and game design to promote computing knowledge and global citizenship. As part of Digital Literacy Day, the Adobe Foundation has committed to match all donations made to Globaloria up to $50,000. You can be a part of it by donating at http://www.globaloria.org/adobe. Besides funding Globaloria’s initiatives, your donations help fund the World Wide Workshop, Globaloria’s parent organization. The World Wide Workshop supports publicly shared, long-term projects that are complex, computational, immersive, and innovative, so children build long-term skills for learning and critical thinking.
