DSDN 101 - P2- Brainstorming

Here are my brainstorms for project two:
This brainstorm is showing my ideas about what words I could use and how I could animate them in flash. I came up with several ideas but some words stood out more than others. I really like the idea of 'bounce' and 'split' and also 'earthquake'.   



Darker version under.... (hoping to hand in original)


And here is my bounce brainstorming for my storyboard. But I ended up not going along with the word bounce mainly because its a word that can be very short in producing (which I found out), also because it was a bit mainstream and easy to do and I wanted a bit of a challenge.

DSDN 111 - Quote

 Here I have taken this quote from Amelia Earhart. I thought that this quote was particularly good for my fluid form mainly because I want to express shadows and maybe get a couple of high angles when I'm taking my photos. This quote really does suite my design since I'm mainly basing the designs of birds/bird shapes.

"You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky" - Amelia Earhart

DSDN 111 - Sculpture Photos

Here are my models and some of the photos I liked from the many hundreds of photos I took.
TAKE NOTE: NONE OF THESE PHOTOS HAVE BEEN EDITED.

Here is just a simple photo with my first little design of a fluid form. I have tried using a bird shape along with a straight (twig like) metal, which was bronze.









Here I have a good shadow in this picture and the angle of the photo is a good one. I really like the lighting effect and the shadow it gave.
 In this one I liked the angle of the photo and the shadow being produced.
 Here I like the simpleness and the simple shadow giving from the light, also the angle of the photo really gives it that better effect.
 I chose this photo because of the angle and the shadow the light gave.
 I like this effect in the photo, making it look old school but with a bright light. The shadow is also really interesting and it really does give a good shadow outline. This is one of my favorites!
 Here I just chose this photo so you could see the transparency and the shadow it produced.
 This photo I chose because of the shadow it gave and the angle the photo has been taking, this angle makes the forms look very curvy and fluid.
 This photo was very interesting to me mainly because of the curves that got produced in this. It looks very fluid and has a calming feeling to it.
 This photo is just so you could see the whole sculpture.
 This photo i chose because of the angle but the lighting could be changed to make a better effect here. But still I like the use of curves and the angle I took the photo at makes it look almost like a wave.
 Here I show even more curves and straight forms, I like it because of the simple curve and the straight form impaling the curves. Very fluid.
 I like this photo because of the lighting effect I got when I took the picture. Also the simpleness of the curve and the soft shadow it gave.
Here is just a photo to show you my first design.

DSDN 111 - More inspiration

Here are some more images of objects that inspire me. Mostly what inspired me was the birds! I really like their shape and I reckon it could work well because of their nice shaped curves.




DSDN 111 - Ideas

Here are some ideas of how I would create some of these fuild forms.



DSDN 111 - Inspiration

Here is my main inspiration, a goose flying. I like the curves on this animal and decided to take the bottom of the goose as my fluid/curing shape. Its has very simple curves but I think it would be fun to work with!

And here is my other inspiration of a straight form. Twigs which are on angles. I really like the nature side of things and making nature a big inspiration. I thought by picking these I could easily intertwine both of these forms to create something interesting and exciting and also very fluid.

DSDN 142-project two-Final 8 images.


















Here are my final 8 images of my pattern. I think that these images are very interesting and a very good outcome. I like the way the images are easy to read and you know what I've done by looking at each image. I like the last image of noise because i never knew that my original pattern could turn out to be a noise. I think that i have explored a lot throughout this project and have learn't many new ways of creating forms. I've ended up using black and white's instead of color, mainly because when i tried to use color it just didn't fit into my work at all and just simply did not fit. Overall I am proud of the outcome I have created and have enjoyed this project and cant wait till the next one!



Also here is the code I have used :
int xRepeat = 150;
int yRepeat = 150;
int x = 20;
int y = 20;
int w1 =40;
int a = 10;
int b = 10;
int bw = b+w1+b;

void setup() {
  size(500, 500);
  smooth();
 
        background(255);

 
    for (int i = 0; i < width/xRepeat; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < height/yRepeat; j++) {
      pushMatrix();
      translate(xRepeat*i, yRepeat*j);
      myPattern();
      popMatrix();
    }
  }

}




void draw() {
   
   
}

 

void myPattern() {

 
  float ix = random(-0,0);
  float iy = random(-0,0);
 
rect(x+a+w1,y+a+w1,bw,bw);

rect(x,y,a,a);
rect(x+a+w1+bw+w1,y,a,a);
rect(x,y+a+w1+bw+w1,a,a);
rect(x+a+w1+bw+w1,y+a+w1+bw+w1,a,a);

rect(+x+a,y+a,w1,w1);
rect(+x+a+w1+bw,y+a,w1,w1);
rect(+x+a,+y+a+w1+bw,w1,w1);
rect(+x+a+w1+bw,y+a+w1+bw,w1,w1);

rect(x+a+w1+b,iy+y+a,w1,w1);
rect(x+a,iy+y+a+w1+b,w1,w1);
rect(x+a+w1+b,iy+y+a+w1+bw,w1,w1);
rect(x+a+w1+bw,iy+y+a+w1+b,w1,w1);
