CC Assignment 2 : From Generator

Original image to scale from 100% to 3% from a photo project

Description

Hello, this is my second assignment for Critical Computation. I used an image from one of my photo projects to scale from 100% and 3% for the for generator aspects of maximum and minimum values and random variable of this sketch in P5JS.

Design Process

I used a photo of a tomato from a photo project that I did during quarantine. The theme of the project was to find fruits that looked like body parts and to photograph them in a studio setting in a sort of commentary on how we personify objects.

I used the concepts on user-defined variables, random () and keyPressed() as the technical challenges to this assignment. I found this assignment to be challenging because of the number of components in the code to keep track and to assign variables or nomenclature appropriately. I also would like to learn how to have the image appear cleaner not show the previous manipulation. It definitely helped me to become more organised as a coder!

Reflection

It was interesting to see the mouse be able to manipulate the image or the tomato according to user input. Manipulating the image in terms of X and Y scale, I realised that the representation of the tomato changes to be unrecognisable. If I was to do this assignment again, I would create an image that adds a new meaning to changing X or Y scale. If I could also add music to this assignment, it would add to the effect of the image increasing and decreasing in size!
