I asked myself this question 3 weeks ago during my last week at my internship before I deployed the project. I spent so much time on this project during the research phase doing everything that I had learned so far. I did my User Research, observations, surveys and everything in…

Last week was my final class for the summer and as part of our final assignment, we were told to create a data visualization on Processing. The data for this was the price of grapes and wine from 1996 to 2016. The goal was to learn how to access external…

This week is my last week of summer class. It’s been a busy 6 weeks but despite the late nights and countless hours spent fixing my code, I’m truly going to miss this class. We started this course with Processing and it only seemed fitting to end it with it. This week we started working on visualising date using processing. I’m familiar with the concept of data visualization from one of the classes I took during my first semester, only this time, we are actually coding the visualization.

For my ‘Alternative Interface Project’, I thought of creating a pitch shifter using a Force Sensitive Resistor that would determine the semitone value and the button will act as a switch to determine whether that value will be positive or negative. In order to load the audio and do the actual pitch shift, using the Ess library to create a simple processing sketch should make things easier. In theory, when the audio file is playing, on pressing the FSR, the audio should shift pitch (high or level depends on clicking the button).

4th week into Digital Innovation and design and we’re finally getting out feet wet in physical computing. Me and my classmates were all provided with our own arduino kits to start doing stuff and the first thing we did was make the light blink. Even though we just plugged the kit on our laptops and ran the example code, just seeing something happen outside our screen was fascinating. We then learned a little bit about circuits and volts and all kinds of maths that we need to do before we start building the circuit to use other components.

Last week we learned about image processing and creating filters for images and I’ve always been curious about how Instagram filters worked so it was an interesting class. We learned about something called “Convolution matrix”. …

Tuesday night was interesting, because we decided to do my favorite thing, create pixel art. Say whaaaaaaat? So, we tried to feed an image to processing and write magical code to turn that image into pixel art and it was fascinating. We looped across all the pixels and just created…

On my last post I talked about my goals and the process I wanted to take to build my app for this weeks class. I was working on my own Pixel Art app where users can select colors and can lay down there epic pixel art on a grid canvas. …

As part of my ‘Algorithmic Design App 1’, I would like to create a simple app that allows users to draw pixel art. I grew up playing video games and I am absolutely in love with pixel art and I do pixel art during my spare time as well. …
