First row

This is my first row of my processing. I decided to invert the black and white as I think it looks more striking with a black background and the white stroke makes you focuses more on the designs.
I'm looking to keep the triangle square shape with my other rows but would like to have some be really close up and off the 85mm so you can't tell that it's triangles and plain lines.

Idea development

Beginning concept

From discussing my idea with my table I've started thinking about having two headphones playing different beats and the participant has to follow the beat which ever ear they've been told to follow. Through this I'd like to explore peoples hand, eye and sound co-ordination and whether or not a beat can influence you're movements. Also I'd like to test whether or not peoples ears are like their hands and they have a favourite ear to listen through.

Beginning sketches





The beginning sketches that I came up with to start of my processing. I decided to go with the last one as it was simple whilst still being aesthetically pleasing on it's own.

Two Objects

Functional Object
I chose a fork because I'm pretty sure this is one item that has remained largely the same since it was first invented. It's functional because it's make to fit the human hand and it easily and comfortably transfers food into the mouth.

For a fun object I chose my camera. I get a lot of entertainment out of this object because it takes really nice pictures whilst being light and easy to use

5 Objects

Touch
I chose my loofah for touch because of how different the feeling of the loofah itself is compared to how the loofah makes your skin feel after you've exfoliated with it. The texture of it feels very rough but the result of it makes your skin feel smooth.

Hear
This object could have been used for most of the senses but I chose it for hear because of the distinct and unique sound it makes when being popped.

Taste
No food tastes better than salty food.

Smell
I chose Vegemite for smell because it smells exactly how it tastes. It has a really original smell to it which I find interesting a kinda alluring.

Sight
I'd be lost without my glasses as I'm completely blind without them. I could have chosen a picture of a destination or anything pretty but I realized that in order to view that picture properly I need my glasses

Open Processing

I really liked all the work of Asher Salomon. He has a lot of interactive sketches that entertained me and have influence me to attempt and creating something similar for this course. I particularly loved the bio mechanics one because it's highly entertaining and the design and colours are simple but effective.
