Project #1 Lost and Found

p5js code click here!

Description

my partner is Huishan Chi.

“Grimms' Fairy Tales” is the book that I lost in the past and have meaning to me. This is the book that I love to read when I was little. As I grew up, I did not know where the book was lost. But I can still remember the stories in the book and the yearning for a better life. However, when I read the same stories online again, I realized that those fairy tales was not perfect or even dark. So I realized that when I losing this book, I was building my own values and being more critical thinking at same time.

Design Process

I think the description of the object is clear and I have some space to imagine what a fairy tale book would looks like. I would think the book to be an old one and with some decorations on the cover.

Reflection

When I was doing the code part, I felt it is so uncomfortable to draw using js rather that just use ps or hand sketch because I have to calculate the coordinate and what transformation I should apply to depict this image. The whole process is interesting to me because the information transmit processes are so different. When I receive the words from my partner I feel there's a lot of empty space of it and I can use my imagination to realize a detailed image. While, when I do it on p5.js, I feel the computer is not 100% usable for me to draw the complex shapes that I want. Although it is very accurate to draw standard shapes.
