Coding

Should Designers Code?

I hope to call myself a designer some day. I don’t know of what exactly, still working that out, but I know I enjoy creating systems and arranging them so they are best suited to be used. It’s so much fun to figure out what’s needed and then make a plan of how you hope things will go…

Programming For Designers

What exactly does a designer need to know in order to design the best…

Another function setup()

Yes, another function was setup in my coding space. A level up to my pre-existence coding knowledge. This time it was a new language. We were introduced to a new language of JavaScript, where we coded in p5js. Having a previous experience in Python and a bit of it in Processing helped…

4. discussions, doubts and wrap ups

The fourth and final week was just about brushing up our skills while working on our coded prototypes and I genuinely feel sad because the studio is over. 
Having prior experience in coding, I thought of this class initially as just a prerequisite but the studio and…

Week 4

Here’s a little background to share: I’ve been trying to learn to code for almost 2 years now. However, as I’ve not been consistent with my effort to learn and practice. But when I came across to this class, I was like this the opportunity to learn the coding and move ahead from the irregularity of learning. And…

What an end!

This studio was one of the most productive course I’ve had till now. The whole process that started from coming up with the concept, till the end where we actually made a programmed prototype for the same.

Pre Existence of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

An intense fun week. Learning about futuristic technology from past movies. What a contradiction. But this is reality. Technology moves with a breakneck speed, but compared to the past, we now have a lot more amount of power in our hands. We humans…

Metaclass

The week began by watching a video compilation of short clips from movies that show artificial intelligence. To focus on the different ways it is portrayed. Each movie had an interesting and different take on the representation of AI. My personal favourite was ‘Her’. I had already watched a couple of movies…

Week 2

In the 2nd week, after the presentation that we had done to the pg students, we got a lot of constructive feedback on our work, the feedback session was the most valuable, because some of them have pointed out some critical issues in our concept.

Getting Good Feedback

This week began with us exibiting our work to Masters students and HCD faculty, which I was very unwilling to do initially, simply because of the fear of consequences. The experience however turned out to be far more useful and fulfilling than I could imagine, giving us a good amount of…
