DMA455 - Visualizing Audio Data


Approach

I started off by gathering my assets so that I could put together the visualizer.  I ended up picking a song called "Can't hold us" by Macklemore.

Challenge

For me, the challenging part was setting up the code.  Once I got the code set-up, it was all a matter of putting together the images I gathered, and naming them the correct instances.


Goal


I wanted to do something a little humorous, so I decided to get an image of the artist Macklemore's head, and it actually turned out pretty funny because the image looks like a big blow up of his face. 


Solution

Within adobe flash, I was able to put together the sound analyzer with images to create visualized audio that corresponded to the music.

DMA455 - Wine Label




Approach

First, I got a graffiti image from the morlock assignment we did back in semester 1, and collected the colours from Adobe Kuler. (Image below)



Challenge

The challenge with this was definitely making the wine label itself,  and placing it onto the wine bottle. I had to decide what I was going to do with the colours I received from kuler, and what kind of design I wanted to base my wine on.

Goal

My goal for the label was to incorporate the colours from the image, and implement a simplistic/minimalistic approach to the label, nothing too fancy and over the top, simply because the colours were already so vibrant.

Solution

With the combinations of Adobe Flash and Photoshop, I was able to create a label from the graffiti image with the copy that was required.

Result
