Final Project Proposal 2

gusccny — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:23:22 +0000

For my final project I would like to do a personal portfolio site where I can showcase some of my work. These websites are along the lines of the type of display i woud like for my work, thumbnails that lead you to the project page with more images along with some info on the project itself. I would like the final product to look clean, preferably following the same colors as my blog in order to keep everything consistent, and maybe somehow incorporate my blog into the portfolio site. This project would be an experiment for me, as I don’t really have too much experience building a website (only design) or working with a CMS system other than wordpress, and it relates to my life as I would like to display some of my work other than just emailing pictures, I would like to have a URL for some stuff to be displayed. There are may more websites that inspire me gallery wise than these, but I like the clean aesthetic they have, not too much extra stuff, just the work.

As far as development, It’d probably break down as follows:

Week1: Research some Gallery systems I like, CMS, Flash, Hardcoded?

Week2: Start organizing what projects to display, save out files and start on website.

Week3: Finish website.

Week4: Presentation.

Materials I would be using would be my computer and older projects.

Final Project Proposal 1

For my final project I would like to do a short video revolving around graffiti. These two videos show both styles of video I want to mix together, filming an artists process of painting along with already final products. I would like the final product to look more gritty, but have the same asthetics as these examples. This project would be an experiment for me, but something I would like to do, as I’ve recently been trying to teach myself editing, and it relates to my life as I am heavily involved in the art form as well as many of my closest friends. There are countless amounts of artists that influence me in this media from all parts of the world, among them Ces, Serve, Cope2, Revok, Rime, etc.

As far as development, It’d probably break down as follows:

Week1: Filming footage, and looking through old footage I have filmed.

Week2: Film footage and start editing process.

Week3: Finish extra filming and keep editing.

Week4: Presentation.

Materials I would be using would be old footage, new footage using my video camera and using the videos above and others like it for inspiration.

Scratch Intro: Draw on Chuck and Rock Paper Scissors

gusccny — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:01:00 +0000

For my first Scratch Project, I wanted to create a drawing board to doodle on people. For this sample I wanted to pick Chuck Norris, but nobody gets to pick Chuck Norris, he picks you.

Still working on this Game, haven’t figured out how to make the right row work on its own. I am trying to give each tool on the right an integer label, and setup the left row so once an item is clicked, the right row will randomize a number from 0-2 and then map out all possible outcomes once they meet in the middle.

My Route

On my route to work and back, I always pass my barbershop which I painted the exterior of a few years ago. Once in Times Square I walk down the same block and take the same route to and from work.

It’s a little crazy to think that one cellphone, lost in one cab, in one city, could have brought hundreds upon hundreds people together to basically play a big game off manhunt. What’s even crazier is that this girl is from my neighborhood, and heard the story about it through mutual friends from around my way, i never thought it would grow to this scale and would even be something worth publishing. It’s kinda scary how anyone can gain access to your personal life just from an email, phone number, or even a picture, we saturate the internet with personal information and expect others to not take advantage of it? Don’t get me wrong, i think its a good thing people were able to find her and get the phone back, eventhough it was taken to the extreme, justice was served, but what about creepy people that are just into crawling the net in search for information? What do we have to protect us? Sure you can make your social network info private, and have a 17 digit case sensitive letter and number combination password for all of your emails and other online accounts, but are you really safe? It’s so easy to trick people into unknowingly giving up this type of information, all it takes is a dedicated person to keep trying and for you to let your guard down.
