Month: March 2024

so for this final project, my group and i decided on creating panels for sustainable businesses (second hand businesses). i chose late night vintage market!

i began by finding images i wanted to use for the graphic panels, i found the tvs, the mouth and speech bubble but i got stuck on the sign. i spent what felt like an hour (i’m serious, i really stressed myself out here) looking for a blank sign that felt right.

i decided to pivot and drew everything instead. i drew for a couple hours and headed over to the market to get my video (and a few slices of pizza) but it still wasn’t what i had envisioned so i started over.

i circled back to the original graphics, found a sign i liked, edited everything in photoshop and got the panels set up. it was a nice day for a walk so i didn’t mind the second journey. eyejack is pretty intuitive so it didn’t take too long to get everything set up there.

the graphics include some copy from the website, the address, hours and their instagram handle.

i really love the vintage market (but truthfully, fremont vintage mall will always have my heart).

here are the panels:

i have a lot of places to be and very little time in between, so what i need is a shoe that can stop the train door so i never get stuck at the platform again.

enter: the clog door stoppers!

is it a golf club? no, it’s not. it’s a door stopper, pay attention.

it can be yours for $105, not bad! just attach her with some kitchen twine (your bar manager probably knows where it’s at) when you’re running late and you’ll catch those doors before they close!

project #3

okay hear me out, i might be 27 but this app is so fun and cute. i decided to try out my caterpillar (i didn’t know how to spell caterpillar before this, i’m afraid to admit) and honestly it was such a wholesome experience.

first, the app scoped out the environment and set up a tiny tiny egg on the desk when it found the surface.

tap and the egg hatches!

tap again and the scene sets up!

tap the apples for them to 1) fall off the branch and tap again 2) have a snack!

i really enjoyed how interactive this app was! i could even look behind objects and it didn’t glitch or anything! my phone did freeze after a few minutes but honestly, that’s fine.

i wish there were more ways to interact with it other than tapping but it’s literally made for children so i think it’s alright.

this is what my process for doing assignments looks like.

AR project #2

aero was really simple to use and quite intuitive! i struggled with going from desktop to mobile and getting the interactive elements to work. there was also a weird glitch on the desktop app whenever i previewed and went back to edit that would cause certain images to disappear entirely. after stressing myself out about it and having a lil menty break over how little time i had to finish it, i decided to walk over to third and pine after work (that’s how discouraged i felt) and ate some chicken nuggets before getting back to work.

i worked on it some more on my laptop before deciding that i needed to just move over to mobile, so i rebuilt it there. i came across a few more problems, like an image not hiding even though all of the settings were identical to another image that was hiding. i couldn’t figure it out so i just got rid of that.

i struggled with audio too, i couldn’t get the song to play despite changing the formats of the file over and over. eventually, i changed it a last time to .wav and it worked fine. thank god.

i wish i had more time to fine tune it but nonetheless, here she is.
