Passion-darcy
passion: art/abstract
I found abstract paintings and art are really interesting and playful.
These abstract graphics can be used for lots of ways like wall painting decorations, desktop wall papaer, etc.
For the processing final, I'll be using abstract painting as beginning of my project, then the other function goes on for different efftects.

Patterns
I find patterns in the visual context and in the larger realm of the universe such as echos, seasons, change of day and night, fractals very intriguing. Their precise, mathematical, predictable, repetitive and yet surprising nature appeals to me.
Patterns can be created very simply and their use in design, textiles, architecture, etc is unique to every region in the world; this attaches great historical, cultural and traditional importance to them.
Simple patterns are made up with a single unit repeated periodically in a predictable system. By making slight modifications to basic visual patterns I want to further explore the internal relation between units and how that would affect the relation between the unit and the whole.
Specifically I want to play with parameters such as time/pace, scale, color, texture and create complex, rich and emotive patterns for my website -

Danny's Passion
Danny has passion in many things. He likes Design, Snowboarding, Party, Clubbing, Photography, and Mixing drinks.
Snowboarding on Whiteface from Danny Chang on Vimeo.
In Design, he loves package design and web design the most. He designed his first web page when he was 12 with hand coding HTML. You can see his graphic design portfolio at http://www.nydanny.com/danny_portfolio_compact.pdf
As for Snowbording, danny came from a place which doesn't have any snow which is Taiwan. And then there was no snow as well when he lived in Hawaii. He began his life of snowboarding since he studied in upstate new york. He got his season pass every winter on "Whiteface" which was Winter Olympic Mountain.

Hw 7_My passionation: Video+Music+Code=VJing
Who is VJ
The VJ is becoming an essential part of the clubbing experience. They're the people who mix and scratch video clips in the way that DJs cut up records. Almost all major clubs now have someone on hand to provide projections to go with the music.
"If you think about it, there's a DJ in almost any bar you go into now. In 5 years time, chances are there'll be a VJ as well."
Brainfresh - VJ
What VJs do
"If you think about it, there's a DJ in almost any bar you go into now. In 5 years time, chances are there'll be a VJ as well."
Brainfresh - VJ
What VJs do
There are two stages to VJing. One is collecting together the video clips, editing and treating them so that you have a library of amazing images to play with. The second is when you get to the gig and string them together into a set.
The basic tools you'll need for this are:
"When I VJ now for other people, we get just as much attention as the DJs because, I'd say, probably one in five young men is a DJ. VJing is something new and a bit interesting. You do have to be a bit more skilled and specialist to do it."
Ed Shinobi - VJ
Using Video Cameras
Getting gigs
The basic tools you'll need for this are:
- A video camera to record images to use in your set
- A laptop computer to edit the images and to play them out in the club
- Software for editing and treating your images
- Software to allow you to play out your images interactively
- A projector to show it all happening.

Ed Shinobi - VJ
Using Video Cameras
Your second essential purchase is going to be a video camera. Part of the joy of VJing is creating your library of images. There's more on the creative aspects of that later in this section. For now let's look at the practical side.
As well as the camera you need a video capture card - that's the device that enables you to transfer video from your camera to the computer. Generally speaking, PCs don't come with one of these built-in and Macs do. But this isn't a hard and fast rule so check before you buy.
Video capture cards come in three varieties:
It's also worth getting a camera with a decent-sized screen built in. Later, when you expand your set-up to include a video mixer you can use your camera as a video player and mix pre-made tapes in with your lap-top's output. If you're going to do that, it's handy to have a good-sized screen for previewing and cueing up the tapes.

Video capture cards come in three varieties:
- If you have a Digital Video (DV) camera, you can download digitally using its firewire port - a high speed data connection similar to USB.
- If you have a VHS video camera then you'll need a card which will take composite video. That's a basic way of transferring video which uses a phono socket.
- If you have a Hi-8 or SVHS format video camera, you'll need to transfer in analogue and will probably need an S-Video jack. S-Video is higher that quality than composite video and is transferred using a multi-pin connector that looks like a PC mouse plug.
It's also worth getting a camera with a decent-sized screen built in.

If you're going to do that, it's handy to have a good-sized screen for previewing and cueing up the tapes.
Getting gigs
At the moment, VJing is still something of a developing market. Most decent sized clubs have video projection facilities these days. Do some research and then get to work. Get hold of some promoters and start badgering them for gigs. (Promoters who hire clubs with no projection facilities probably aren't interested in having visuals but you could try and charm someone into hiring some...)
Like anything there's a build-up process. You've missed the boat being a real pioneer, so the early birds have stitched up most of the plum gigs. But you can still start looking around for smaller nights and grow your name from there.
Get together a demo video. Start sending out copies on VHS, making sure you target promoters who are going to like the music you've chosen. See what Kriel and Ed have to say:
"The first step in booking gigs on your own is to make a blinding demo video. Pick the music you like. Mix to it, then edit it down to 5 minutes (and no more) on that laptop. Then dub it to VHS and send those tapes out to promoters who deal with that music. Follow up every tape with a call. Every time someone says 'no', or even worse says nothing at all, send out another ten tapes to another ten promoters. Don't accept 'no'. Every step up the ladder only takes one 'yes'."
Kriel - VJ
"It depends how you price yourself and the size of the night. If they've got 2,000 people coming in then they've got money to play with. They're going to want that night to be good because they want to keep those thousands of people. If there's a night that's only got 500 people you have to ask yourself how much money they'll be making. It's generally not a lot so you just got to think how much they'll be willing to pay for something that isn't a necessity."

Helena's Passion
My first passion is PIANO:
I learnt it since I was 3 and I stopped during my college years. i always want to pick it up again.
This is the link to my favourite piano brand:
Steinway
The touch and the tone of it is so perfect
Piano also represents classic, elegance to me
Now they have this auction for piano and help save victims in earthquakes
Charity is also an important factor to me and Lang Lang is one of my favorite piano artist
My second passion is Helvetica:
I love this font.
Clean, simple, but as an impact
The moma installation for Helvetica a few months ago is my favourite. I once did my first letter of my name "H" with Helvetica in my resume.
I LOVE HOW THIS LINK allows you to play the piano

Letterpresses are the Coolest Thing Ever!
That's right. And they're super addictive: I got my first press in March and now I have 3. A good place to learn about letterpress is at Briar Press. Here's me pulling some prints with my Sigwalt "Ideal" number 5-depending on who you ask this is the best tabletop letterpress ever made.
Here's my big press. It's 97 years old and weights about 1200lb. I'd reeally wanted to finish cleaning and re-assembling it before boot camp started, so I spent the week before last covered in grease and chunks of old ink... Probably should have spend some of that time packing, turns out Sunday morning before classes start is not an ideal time to pack... and I still didn't get it finished.
Here's what it will look like when I get it put back together:
Amusing aside: When I bought my Sigwalt at Letterpress Things, a dealer in Springfield MA, I met a couple from NYC. I don't know how the topic came up, but it turns out he was (and is) a student in the Design & Technology BFA program. I had not yet received my acceptance at the time. It seemed so unlikely that I should come across someone from here then and there. I saw them again a few months ago at a Letterpress convention hosted by Letterpress Things, and got the low down on what was up around the department. I can't remember his name... Anyway, that's how cool letterpress is

Cowboys
The word "cowboy" appeared in the English language by 1725. It appears to be a direct English translation of vaquero, a Spanish word for an individual who managed cattle while mounted on horseback. This term has been used for years to describe the men that herded cattle. However, these men did not just ride around on horses and shoot each other all day. I believe that they lived a very disciplined lifestyle that followed a strict code of ethics. I am passionate about the way that these people ran their daily lives. I believe that today, we have a lot to learn from those rough and tough horsemen. They believed in right and wrong. They were men of honor, dignity and their word. They always walked the walk after talking the talk. They were honest and fair. I try to live by the "code of cowboy ethics" and model my life after them. Not to mention, I love horses and cowboy boots!

Here's the original .gif that I used - which I guess won't animate on Blogger but trust me that it does. I used a program to split it into its individual frames (24), resaved them as .jpg's (as I learned that Processing doesn't render .bmp's the hard way) and then messed around with some image code to make the loading more dynamic and control the frame rate.
UP arrow and DOWN arrow control the frame rate, of which there are three values - slow, normal, and fast. You can continue to press in either direction to cycle through the frame rate values.

Homework 5
Please use what you already know about drawing and animating shapes along with your new knowledge of arrays and functions to write a program. You can modify a program you have already written or write a new one from scratch. It can be animated or static.
Remember arrays are like lists. You could write a function that draws a shape where the point's values are held in arrays or you could use an array to assign values to your function's parameters in a for loop that calls the function.
Good luck and have fun with the assignment!

Daisey Function Code
If you play with the code and enter different values in the daisy function's parameter's you might find the results a bit strange. The reason for this is the way the original daisy is drawn. Because we are using pushMatrix(); and popMatrix(); the daisy is being moved relative to it's original position within the window. The original position is the center of the window. When using these functions it's better to draw the shape at the top left of the window, this way all changes are relative to the point 0, 0.
If you want you could try to modify the daisy function so it draws the daisy at the top left corner of the window, then see how much easier it is to position.
If none of what I am saying makes sense than I recommend cutting and pasting this code into processing and using the daisy function to draw some daisy's.
void setup () {
size (500,500);
background (13,121,43);
ellipseMode (CENTER);
smooth ();
}
void draw () {
daisy(-50, -150, 0, 1);
daisy(-150, -150, 0, 1.6);
daisy(600, 75, 1.5, 1);
daisy(400, 5, 1, .4);
}
void daisy(int x, int y, float r, float scale) {
pushMatrix();
translate(x, y);
scale(scale, scale);
rotate(r);
//this part draws the daisy
stroke (100, 255, 0);
strokeWeight(4);
line(250, 250, 350, 500);
stroke (0);
strokeWeight(1);
fill (255);
ellipse (250, 200, 100, 150);
ellipse (300, 250, 150, 100);
ellipse (250, 300, 100, 150);
ellipse (200, 250, 150, 100);
fill (220, 160, 0);
ellipse (250,250,100,80);
popMatrix();
