In this module about p5.js we looked into the intersection between design and coding, and was assigned to create a portfolio that reflects creative explorations and outcomes. This unit allowed me to engage with both visual design and technical implementation, guiding, helping me develop skills and take risks. I was tasked with selecting the three best artworks from the module for my final portfolio.
View Development PortfolioThe 'Other Story Of Your Food' segment of my portfolio looked into Kinder Eggs, a choice inspired by their unique position at the intersection of food, toy, and cultural phenomenon. For this section we were required to answer "How design can _____”. The task began with a research phase, and I sought out to find the answer for, 'How can design make items safe?' Answering this led to the creation of an interactive poster using p5.js.
The second project I chose to present was a task to reinterpret a classic Pong game inspired by an album cover art. I selected 'Flower Boy' by Tyler, The Creator as my muse. The 'Flower Boy' album art, known for its vivid colours and intricate details, depicts Tyler in a surreal, flower-filled landscape, symbolising growth, transformation, and a journey into the self. I extracted a colour palette directly from the album cover and used and coded the clouds to move slowly across the screen while the game was being played. Additionally I added a song from the album to complete the game.
For my final project, I chose to code a video game taking advantage of the freedom to code a retro game of my choice. I decided on reinventing the classic Snake game, a favourite pastime from my younger years. In my version, I introduced another element, the arcade-style background music accelerates in tempo as the snake grows in length and the player's score escalates.
