The links to my finals are listed above (top is the link to processing and top link is to the classroom link). Once again my transformation is an earthquake line getting bigger in an out of control way and represents my idea of transformation (how something changes into something bigger than its previous form).
Why an earthquake to represent transformation?
The reason I chose to use an earthquake line is because an earthquake can start off as one little line and slowly evolve into a large amount of wild and sinister lines that can strike feelings of fear into others, creating a transformation that represents something nefarious.
Why use the colors red and black?
The colors I used are red and black and keep changing between each other. I chose these two colors because they're both dark colors that represent darkness and terror, helping to set up a scary and daunting theme to my transformation.
Why use the sound I have?
My sound for my processing creation is a sound I created on the piano. The sound is a creepy and horrific sound to suit the earthquake lines I was creating. By using a sound thats daunting and terrifying at the same time it helps to give my transformation a sense of life and movement. I made the sound keep playing even after you have clicked the mouse to stop creating the line because it sets up the idea that the earthquake hasn't stopped. It can still strike again and the next transformation it undergoes may be bigger than the last.
What interaction I used with the mouse?
For my interaction with the mouse, I decided to make it so that the user has to click the mouse to get the earthquake line started and can click again to stop the lines growing. I chose to use this method as my interaction for this project because when they first look at the image it looks like an ordinary plain image. Then when they see that they have to click on it to get the lines going it comes up unexpectedly with the lines and sound, making it a suitable interaction for my idea on earthquake transformation. Even though the lines may follow the mouse, it still comes out in a random length, just like when an earthquake hits and the lines appear in the ground (they all come out in different lengths,direction etc).
