Project 2- Initial ideas for project 1

Brainstrom
In project one my conclusion was that my original idea was too complex for someone just starting out without the knowledge to make changes to my original ideas in order to improve the final result. My idea was very specific meaning that i didnt have much room for experimetentation, nor the time or knowledge. I have learnt that its ok to make changes to your original ideas through experimentation and development throughout the project.

From my reflection of the last project i have decided it is important to leave room for experimentation, and have a rough end result that you would like rather than a clear plan. This way i am more likely to experiment therefore have a better end result. I also noticed that sometimes simple ideas can be the most visually appealing. During the class vote on our favourite designs, it was generally the dsigns using basic geometric shapes transformation and effective colour were the ones that were most popular I kept his in mind whilst brainstorming.

In the last project i decided i wanted to use a logical or more structured use of colour in my work. I was then inspried and reminded of working with paint where there is a colour pattern (guideline) you can follow, that works. this is where i was inpired to use the colour wheel and the way the primary colour can transform into other colours..

From this i decided it would be cool through human interaction to produce colours from other colours, an original black dot on the screen and once pressed producing primary coloured dots and then once they are clicked producing sedimentry colours etc. etc.

I then began to think about the effectiveness of the changing size of the dots. I think it would be effective to alternate (depending on which dots have been clicked) between large dots and smaller dots.

Seen as the project is meant to include sound but i have no experience with sound, i have decided to experiment with it after i have created the image. I think it woul dbe cool however to programme each dot with a different tone or sound, meaning you could sort of create your own tune depending on the dots you click and what stage you are at throught hte animation.

Design Storyboard

Goals

My goal is to figure out how to construct my design using processing. I would like to further my knowledge and experience with the programme learning how to incoporate human interaction, animation, and transformation and sound.

I have never used any of these features and have a short time limit before the next checkpoint before mid semester break. I need to stay on top of the work, adn try and keep my method resonably simple.
