2011-02-14T10:30:00.000-08:00

some of my sketches to re-design a laptop. I added in some lights, a cup holder, side board and speakers as extras, also a slide open laptop.

Modified clone of 'Modified clone of 'Spinner''

2011-02-10T09:20:00.001-08:00

This is how the code looks after I made adjustments to it

int i = 50;
int step = 3;

void setup() {
background(800);
size(400, 400);
smooth();
frameRate(40);
strokeWeight(10);
noFill();
}

void draw() {
background(600);

translate(width/3, height/3);

for (n = 0; n < 130; n++) {
stroke(0, n*4, 300-n, n/2);
rotate(radians(0 + (n * 22)));
ellipse(30 + (sin(radians(i * 14))), 27 - i/4, 102, 80 + i);
}

if (i > 180) {
step *= -2;
}
if (i < -28) {
step *= -2;
}

i+=step;
}

Modified clone of 'Modified clone of 'Spinner''

2011-02-10T09:00:00.000-08:00

Original code before I touched or made adjustments to

int i = 50;
int step = 3;

void setup() {
background(255);
size(400, 400);
smooth();
frameRate(30);
strokeWeight(8);
noFill();
}

void draw() {
background(255);

translate(width/2, height/2);

for (n = 0; n < 128; n++) {
stroke(0, n*2, 256-n, n/2);
rotate(radians(0 + (n * 15)));
ellipse(30 + (sin(radians(i * 12))), 25 - i/2, 100, 75 + i);
}

if (i > 160) {
step *= -1;
}
if (i < -25) {
step *= -1;
}

i+=step;

modified clone of 'jump_ball'

2011-02-10T08:26:00.000-08:00

This is the code which i changed to make it look different

// This sketch builds on a prior work created by Claudio Pinho

//Teste 1
myCircle c1 = new myCircle(width/23, 1, 11);

float vy = 0.2;
float gravity = 0.888;

void setup(){
size(300, 600);
frameRate(40);
smooth();
}

void draw() {
background(323*PI,332,102*vy);
c1.update();
}

class myCircle {
float xpos, ypos, radius, mass, lypos;

myCircle (float x, float y, float r) {
xpos = x;
ypos = y;
radius = r+64;
mass = (PI * (radius*5));
}
void update(){
//calc of velocity
vy += mass / (mass-20 * gravity/54);

//position is updated
ypos += vy;

//basic bottom collision
if(ypos > height-radius) {
ypos = height - radius;
vy *= -.9;
}

//if last y position is equivalent to the actual y position
//then the program stops
if(lypos == ypos && lvy == vy) {
ypos = height - radius;
println("stoped");
noLoop();

}

ellipse(xpos, ypos, radius*3, radius*3);
strokeWeight(3);
line(xpos, ypos-53, radius*2+33, radius*2-20);
//record the last y position and y velocity
lypos = ypos;
lvy = vy;

Magazine spread final outcome

2010-05-11T14:40:00.001-07:00

This is the page for the final spread also, the page with the braclets will be beside this page I think it came togrther well and I like the final outcome.

This is my page for the spread I am using as my final I think it works best with the opposite page with the text

This is the page for my spread I changed it slighty but I dont like this as I think it doesn't work well. I think this page would be better with just the whole image of the bangles on it with the text on the opposite page, sometimes less is best!

Development work for moving type

2010-05-11T14:02:00.000-07:00

Here are some quotes I took from shrek and played about with font styles. These could be used for my final moving type piece!
Trying out different types of font

This is some sketches I did for my final moving type piece and the type of font I will use through it. I will include sketches of a person walking and a skate boarder through the flip book which will include the ' I CAN MOVE IT'.

I can move it

2010-05-06T05:26:00.000-07:00

These are my sketches and fonts for my final piece for typograpghy class. I decided to to bring these into flash and then edited them in windows movie maker then, I also put the sound track from madagasgar 'i like to move it' through it.

Corsage

2010-03-15T15:32:00.000-07:00

Some close ups, I like how the glue turned out on the wire, I like the contrast of it against the red corsage lettering.

Wearing type

2010-03-15T15:22:00.001-07:00

I had to design a piece that would be wearable for typography class. I decided to make a corsage using wire, black tights, tissue paper, thin stick, beads, net...I put the word 'corsage' through the piece then, I am pleased with the end results. In this picture I placed it on a manikin and teamed it up with black beads which could be worn with it.

I like how he put the black text on a plain white background with the image on the other side, it stands out. He created the word 'Judy' like an upside down mirror image which I find appealing. I like how he placed the word together.

I like the colour going through this it caught my eye when I seen it also I like the way he used the words and letters for the shading.

I like the colour and how you have to look twice to see what it actually says, it kind of plays with your eyes but I like the style.

Magazine prep work

2010-03-02T14:05:00.000-08:00

I liked this style of font, I think it stands out how the line thickness changes and the shading makes it more effective

This is a rough sketch of how my final spread might look, I'm pleased with how it is looking so far

I decided to call my magazine Boudoir meaning wardrobe in french, I thought the name was appealing. I tried out various styles out lettering I found the castellar font most effective with my layout so decided to go with it for the final cover

This could be the title for a story in spread sheet, I messed around using the grid as a guide I like how it turned out.

Here I played around with different styles of font for the magazine spread I have to do

Type drawings

2010-03-02T13:52:00.000-08:00

Here i created pictures using different fonts and letters, I like how they turned out. The hand I enjoyed doing as the size and shape of the letters were fun to do. I think it is good to use type through drawings it makes it more fun and different look on things.

David Carson

2010-03-02T13:37:00.000-08:00

I like his work especially how he creates the shadows and where the text is placed also how he plays around with it. I love how he has an image comung through the letters in this its looks very effective.

2010-03-02T13:22:00.000-08:00

Here I created an eye in photoshop using text. I created the brush with text then started to draw with it. I like how it turned outit looks quite dramatic!

Some blocks which contain letters how they printed back in the day and the printing press where the type or image is published

typography grids

2010-02-11T13:32:00.000-08:00

I inserted a bit of text using the grid in photoshop

typography

2010-02-11T13:26:00.000-08:00

I like the reflection of the trees along the water, it is like a mirror image

2010-02-11T13:21:00.000-08:00

I took this picture during the snow, I like how the angle turned out

2010-02-11T13:19:00.001-08:00

I like the print of the letters

typography

2010-02-11T13:14:00.001-08:00

I like the colour and how the letters are sprayed on it is quite simple
