Reflection

Reflection

Though out this project I have learnt a lot of new things. However I think that the most significant thing I have learnt is the basic language of coding. I can now go through code and know what part of the program is doing when the program is running. The thing that helped me to keep motivated was the tutorials, every time I went to a tutorial I would learn something new weather it was from Ben teaching us new things or going off on my own and researching how to do something that I wanted to do. I think that I would like to improve on being able to use variables and loops with ease, this would not only make things a lot easier but it would also be much easier to manage if i was to change the program dramatically.

Goal

My goal for my next project will be to easily read code and use most of the commands to create a program to the best of my ability. Also to use my time wisely so that I wont be rushing to finish of m project at the last minute.  

My four Designs

After presenting

After presenting my images to the class and gaining valuable feedback from them I decided to merge two of my ideas together. I am going to use my first idea in the background and then use my radar idea on the top layer of my image. By combining both of these image I think I will be able create an attractive image which would be interesting to look at.

Four sketches

These are the four sketches I did. My inspiration I had for this was the moths I had flying around outside my room which I thought could make a great pattern. Buy combining the transparency code with the images I will draw in processing would look very abstract.

My second pattern from the top was an inspiration from a movie I was watching and on that movie was a radar and buy seeing that image I thought I could replicate it which could look good if it was repeated a number of times and buy making half of them light and half of the dark would give another contrast like element to the image.

My third sketch was an inspiration from the floating ball in civic square in Wellington. I thought by creating a pattern or image that most people would recognise could prove useful in its popularity. But if somebody didn't recognise image it would still look very attractive.

My last image was a inspiration from my five year old brother who was playing with a slinky when I got home. The movement of  the Slinky falling down the stairs made me think of a pattern which could replicate its movement going down the stairs.

Sketch for last pattern

This is the sketch I drew in my lecture

Third Pattern made

Second pattern_rainbow

This is the same design as my last but I added a rainbow effect to it. Comparing this pattern to the black and white design makes this design look much more interesting and eye catching but instead of focusing on the pattern  the back ground is more significant  in this design and makes you look at the color of the back ground rather than the pattern its self which could be useful in my final design

My second pattern

This is the pattern my partner gave me instructions to draw in our 1st lecture. After figuring out how to draw this pattern my knowledge of how to draw patterns greatly improved.

My first pattern

This was the first pattern I made while using my open processing. It was the first pattern I saved and it was a pattern that would be further developed into the pattern that my partner made me draw from his instructions.
