CSC151.02 2014S, Class 50: Project Assessment: Images ===================================================== _Overview_ * Preliminaries. * Admin. * Questions. * Reviewing images: The "big picture". * Reviewing images: Policies for doing individual images. * Image review. * Debrief, if appropriate. Preliminaries ------------- ### Admin * Remember! You have a responsibility to cite all of the resources you use, even if you don't copy and paste. ### Upcoming Work * No reading for Wednesday (unless you want to read each other's code) * Homework for Thursday: [Exam 3](../assignments/exam.03.html). * No lab writeup. ### Extra Credit * Eric Mistry Map MAP App, Tuesday, 6:30 p.m., ARH 302 * CS Extra Thursday: Edward Snowden TED Talk * CS Table Friday: Edward Snowden ### Questions Chen ---- * I know nothing about your process of working. * So I'm interested in some big picture issues. * For those of you who have seen the images, what are some characteristics that made you more interested in one image than another? What made a good one? * Complexity, but in one place (also a relationship between part to whole) * Composition, does it keep your eye moving around the image, drawn into the image * Relationships of images in a series; Compositional variations * Color contrast - Light and dark, shifts and changes * Illusions of 3D, makes it "pop", sense of depth * Bluriness vs. strong definition (e.g., HS portraits) * Bluriness can also bug you * Series variation * Composition * Color * Are there a few that you would group or categorize as similar? What categories would you have? * Representational * Maybe some based on color * Some gradient approaches * Grids or structures that push up to the front * Not so much figure and ground * Note that some of these structures seem to continue off the picture plane. * Contrast * Etc. Individual Groups ----------------- Group 1 * Lattice of shapes (from 4 to 10 sides) * Some alteration of rotation of center points * Variations of backgrounda * What's attractive? * Transition of the colors * The way the perception of the colors changes * Perhaps some sense of depth * Some of the color schemes * Use of empty space in bottom-left hand corner * Note: Sometimes a process gives you something cool for free * Other color popping in * Curbes vs. straight Group 2 * Inspired by Japanese artist, painting pictures of tsunami * What do they like about itself? * Colors: Natural or clearly unnatural * You can choose to try to be natural * You can also try to be much less natural * Other issues * Sense of depth to the mountains * Use of the brush for the water looks cool * Opacity of the brush * Some concern that you can see the bottom of the mountain * Bifurcation of the horizon * Success at not looking computer generated Group 3 * "We made dragon curves and put them in patterns that were interesting to us" * So what was interesting to you? * Things connecting to each other * Diffferent ways of doing colors * Separate of shapes in different ways * What might make it more successful? * Other color choices? * Less Symmetrical? * Less centered * Think about tiling the image * What changes would you make? * Maybe put the darker colors at the center * Maybe different background colors Group 4 * Lots of triangle meshes * Four backgrounds * Different color schemes for the same background * Which do you like? * Metalic looking diamonds as background * But colors in the triangles which vary in colors * What else is interesting? * The color gradient has an effect on how you see the lines * Switch of fore/back transitions over the diagram * Challenge of two cool elements that don't mix together all that well. Group 5 * Very clear lines, with different centersa * Show the number with circles * Focused figure in the center * Favorite: Red black and white * Likes three dimensionality * Sense of movement * Almost like a filmstrip Group 6 * Mostly monochromatic - range of colors * How do the colors and the personality of shapes relate? * Gothic and dramatic * Needles in the middle make you feel a bit "antsy"
