Water ripple development

Close to final design. Need to work out how to make the sound work with the interaction better.

Project 3 - Research

Another cool rippling affect. Better use of colours.

Project 3 - Research

This looks really cool. The simple colours work really well. The movement in this is so well done and life like. Something im wanting to replicate in my project.

Artist Statement

The idea of this interactive application is to give the user the idea of some control as to where the particles go but never have full control. The particles in a way have a mind of there own. They follow the mouse but not enough to give the user full control. This then gives the user either a sense of beauty or a sense of frustration. Some users would use this application to create beauty with the way the particles over lap each other and move while other users would find it frustrating because they can't control the particles the way they would want to. Either way this interactive application is able to grab the users attention by its immediate beauty and then keep them interested by the way the particles move like they are alive.

Project 2 Final

This is my final design. I kept my idea of using particles in my design but to make the project more interactive, i changed the way of getting the particles. I chose to use red and black as the colours for the particles because the way this design reacts, reminds me of a virus that grows and moves.

Exp6

I really liked the idea of doing my design using particles. I went through many tutorials on particles and managed to come up with this. I really liked the appeal of this but i couldn't work out how to make it more interactive with less control.

Exp5

Experimenting with random tool. Didn't really like it that much so i didn't bother to pursue with colours or anything.
