#1 Lost & Found

Description

For our first project, we each chose an object that we have lost that had meaning to us. We switched the detailed description about the object with a partner, and drew it with p5js.

Partner: Brittany Price

Object description given: white, comes in a case (also white), used for audio (videos, music, etc.), cordless, very popular

Design Process

Based on Brittany's descriptions, I immediately guessed AirPods. As I was figuring out the composition of the image, I wanted to highlight one side of the earpiece appearing like it's dropping in the air. By playing around with features, such as Translate(), Rotate(), Push(), Pop(), I managed to give context for the object being lost in the very moment.

Since this was a 2D primitives work, I also explored in creating dimension with shadows by using different shades.

Reflection

This was my first coding experience, and what I really enjoyed about it was the spontaneity of the outcome of the drawing, despite the very opposite strictly constructed nature of coding. I think that because we didn't know the exact object, it helped us to not be constrained by what it should look like, and be more creative in our making. All in all, it was a fun way to learn about p5js!
