DSDN142 - Final Set.

Here is my final set that I've created from my code for project 2. I approached this with minimalism in mind while making sure everything would flow and connect across the board like a photographic  panorama.

For my structure,  I had the idea of stairs or a spiral connecting and intertwining with one another then beging to shatter into fragements across the board from my second image all the way to third, each time the shattering spreaking out more and more such as sound/noise would in a large area.

I'm quite pleased with how this has turned out, especially with just the use of two colors in the same spertrium, as I think they work near, perfectly with one another.


DSDN142 - Structure & Noise + Random function. ;')

So far, i've consensed and cleaned my code up and added propper veriables rather than building script in straight canvas, from here it gave me easability to edit veriables and come up with more outcomes using while/if loops and random() function, I have  coded my method to work with either "While" or "If" changing these create different effects and outcome for the entire pattern. I have also added a few new veriables, relating to distance between my shapes, which helps breaking them up to create a sense of noise.

Below is a few images that I've came up with my new code, keeping in mind, that I've gone back to a more minimalistic approach, that focuses on just using rectangles and rotation, rather line and pivit points along x/y axies like my previous minimalist approach. I still need to experiment with more color but for now, I like the set that I'm currently using, I'll leave color till last, as I want to see how furthur I can push my code.






















DSDN142 - More Experements - Structure



















Just more experiments with while loops, more of a structural focus, hoping to begin incorporating noise around last two/three panels if i stick with something similar, but definitely need to develop more and condense code code a bit, but that's easily done. I actually like the outcome of these more than my last few attempts on looping, most likely because of the color choices, I had used
"http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/2000600" - Beach Glass by a user named Kristi on Adobe Kuler.

Edit:

Looking back at this now, its starting to head back to a more minimalistic, cartoon-esque' approach, but this time it seems quite effective. However, I need to ask others of their opinions. 

DSDN142 - Experements.

I wasn't too happy with a minimalistic approach, not to mention certain things I wanted to do with my shape proved to be slightly challenging for me. So in the end, I ended up playing around with more "while" looks and drawing random shapes with the line command to see what I could come up with.
I ended up with a "spider-web" type pattern like this, it could use color and some minor edits though, still thinking on what to begin developing.




I also looked into starting to play more around with "while" loops as I understood them easier than anything, I've also discovered how this function works in neat ways with the "rotate" command to create interesting shapes and patterns, which I may possibly use later on.

DSDN142 - Attempt at coding minimalistic outcome.

























So, since I decided to try take a minimalistic approach towards the visual outcome, I'm not too happy about the outcome, and rather disappointed, although, I still need to fix some loops and play around with the "while" function more and learn its full potential, at hope to improve it. I may even step away from the minimalistic approach and explore more color and randomization.

DSDN142 - Update

So, i've decided to approach the task with a minimalistic approach, with the idea to start off with basic line structure / formation that changes along the 'x' axies and nearing end both axies become manipulated or changes in some way.

Below is a rough sketch in the direction I plan on going.

 Below is what i've done so far, Still need to correct parts of my code, currently experimenting with what loop function would be more appropriate to use for my needs.

DSDN142 - Experementing with 'for' loops.





Here I began into looking into using the 'for and if' commands to create patterns with the triangle command to create this grid like structure, I plan on adding the 'random' command to some of the int's to see what different pattern/form(s) I can achieve.

DSDN142 - Playing with random / other functions.


















I ended up playing around with the random function to generate my "int"'s  along my 'x' axis, to try create random fields of triangles that are on different positions every line.

DSDN112 - Sketches for possible structure+noise form(s)

























These are the forms that I had sketched for project 2, I plan on selecting 2-3 patterns that I think would be effective and attempt to merge / develop them.

DSDN142 - Structure & Noise - Pattern Maker




First class for project 2, we were told to download "Pattern Maker" A script for processing that helped with creating repetitive patterns, these are the two that I had came up with, mainly focusing on effects of color combinations in form.

DSDN142 - Final Set(s) / Collection + gif

Final series of 25 images from my code. Originally I had wanted to work with series of triangles but the mathematical side and inability of trigonometry had let me down, therefor I decided to use a more simplified shape which consisted of a diamond 4 triangles and a square. Below I've also included an animated .gif image of the transformation process from both sets, my final and pre-final, as I wanted to see how adaptable each shape was in-terms of flow from transformation to transformation.


.giff, of final set.
