Favorite Youtube design/build videos 2020, Student Work

What are neural networks? Biologically speaking, a mystery. Mathematically speaking, also a mystery. This video is helpful, though. This entire channel is. I think that there is something to be said about the quality of education you can find on youtube for free. I also watched a lot of various Adobe After Effects videos throughout…

Design Review 2020 Part 2: Timeline and Logistics, Student Work

Well, I hit a few roadblocks within the past two weeks. I’m sure all of us can relate. Related to this project, I received some bad news: a friend who was going to “donate” an .mp3 of an old track lost the file with a computer crash. 🙁 The good news: I found more music. See…

Student Work, Top 5 Constraints 2020

To get everyone up to speed: I’m hoping to develop music visualizations through fractals using python3. I’m hoping to generate various types of fractals.

Main Project Aesthetic 2020: plans and alternatives

Something simple. Not sure if it has a name. So, the koch curve is hard! Some issues so far: Diagonal lines are hard. Adding thickness is variable. Resolution is hard. I think I need to figure out how to properly use recursion. I’m starting to get pretty good with Python3, which is a plus. I’ve…

Main Project Inspirations 2020, Student Work

Fractals are a pretty neat mathematical phenomenon that I had the pleasure of exploring through my Chaos Theory class last fall. I ended the class with a comprehensive project studying fractals in nature, a topic I find beautifully interesting both from a visual and mathematical point of view. Hot take: I love mathematics. I also…

Inspiration My inspiration for this project came from a bit of digging, a bit of Pinterest browsing, and an ever-growing pile of recycling in my apartment that was begging to be repurposed. I’m a lover of art; I try my best to practice when I have the time in various forms. Something that I’ve always…

I’ve always been a strong proponent for sustainable living, therefore the idea of a project focused on reusing material excites me. I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to do for the Upscale project, and I’ve landed on the idea of making my own wooden beads for bracelets. It may be biting off…

The first origin of psychedelics is unknown, although the use of plants such as peyote cacti and “magic mushrooms” have been a part of traditional religion and medicine for centuries due to their ability to promote physical and…
