Week 10:

Final Project

Planning & Skill Inventory

Peer Portfolio Review

I chose Megan Idell's final project planning to review. I found all three of Megan's concepts to be creative, engaging and well thought out. I was inspired by Megan's art style (portfolio website) and clear comparison of the pros and cons to reach a final project decision. I look forward to seeing the final project.

Well done Megan!

Concept 1: Music Visualizer

Create a coding project that generates a visual graphic or waveform based on a music track or audio file.

Pros:

A fun way to see the visual interpretation of music
Allows the user to upload their own sound file
Allows the user to adjust with some of the settings such as pattern or color

Cons:

Defining the frequencies to generate the pattern
Looping the audio file if needed
Creating interactivity for the user

Skills needed for this project:

An understanding of how to connect audio and graphic images through coding.

Concept 2: Basic Video Editor

Create a simple video editor that allows you to assemble two or more video clips similar to iMovie or other basic editors.

Pros:

I am very interested in the idea of creating my own video editing program
Freedom to customize this project in the future with more advanced features such as transitions, effects, etc
There appears to be alot of support materials in the textbook and the website.

Cons:

The user will either need their own clips or I will need to provide sample clips they can use.
Making the user interface intuitive.
The possible complexity of the code.

Skills needed for this project:

An understanding of how to connect video assets to an editing interface through coding.

Concept 3: Particle Emitter

Create a simple particle emitter the user can use to draw trails in a web browser with their mouse

Pros:

A fun graphic effect for the user.
A simple browser based experience vs downloading a separate app
Colorful web art interface

Cons:

Creating the mouse interactivity for the user
The possible complexity of the code.

Skills needed for this project:

An understanding of how to use the mouse as a digital paintbrush to create particles through coding.
