CSC151.02 2014S, Class 38: On Two-Dimensional Design ==================================================== _Overview_ * Preliminaries. * Admin. * Questions. * Background: About the project. * General elements of design. * Relationships between elements. * Broader design principles. * Some examples. Preliminaries ------------- ### Upcoming Work * Reading for Wednesday: Project Ideas * Homework for tonight: HW 8: Producing Playful Polygons ### Admin * No lab writeup. (No lab whatsoever.) * It's almost preregistration (new and improved). I hope to see many of you go on to CSC 161. * The best part of today: Watch Sam try to play DeckWars. ### Extra Credit * * Any one Spring into Humanities (or is it vice versa) talk. * CS extra Thursday: Software to enhance wellness: The DavisJan team. * CS table Friday: Java 8 and Lambda * Tennis Saturday 10 am. * CS extra next Monday: Walker and Liberto on bluetooth. * Get and wear one of the "1 in 4" shirts next week. Pick up shirt Tuesday through Thursday, wear on Friday. ### Questions _Should we document our procedures?_ > Certainly. _Can I resubmit?_ > Yes. _Would it be nice if we suggested reasonable calls?_ ; A square ; (define salamasond (image-show (image-new 200 200))) ; (define yertle (turtle-new salamasond)) ; (turtle-polygon! yertle 4 100) _Can I write a list of instructions for problem 7, or do you want a procedure, or both or neither or?_ > I perfer a procedure, but do what you think is best. And document. _Questions about particular details_ > Email me. Expect snarky response. _Can we change turtle brushes and colors within prcoedures?_ > Yes. Background: About the project ----------------------------- Goal: "A procedure is worth a thousand pictures" * Procedure: `(image-series! n width height) * Generate an "interesting" image * Same n, same image * Different n, different image (for n in 0..999) * Changing width and height should scale (as much as possible) * Without using the gimp-scale procedures * Using multiple techniques * Preferably in groups * Next Tuesday: Design statement and sample images (on GitHub) * Following Tuesday: Code! (on GitHub) * In class * Some cruel art faculty member or student critiques images * Sam critiques code * Show at least three * Could be interesting alone * Could be interesting in combination General elements of design -------------------------- Relationships between elements ------------------------------ Broader design principles ------------------------- Some examples ------------- * Web site:
