(When it loads before it plays for some reason it plays a quick second of the beginning of the song, ignore that little bit, it doesn’t happen in the editor)

REFLECTION: Making these Gifs were very fun to me! I love to work with Photoshop and it was great to see our work go from a physical paper to a digital image. I had fun learning how to make a Gif in Photoshop because I don’t usually make gifs so it was very fun to learn. Mashing up the two songs in Popcorn maker was a really fun thing as well, it was a bit annoying to get used to the snipping to get the song to play at the right part, but worth it!

rhythmic elevations from HaiLin

In the final part of Project 2, I think I should add more variety patterns of rhythms on the elevation. The official topographic maps, they are more complicated and have more symbols that can easily confuse people’s mind. However, in my work, I think I’m lacking confusion by designing the pattern’s district. I believe it is giving out a feeling that clean or neat, however, comparing to the official topographic map my work going to the opposite of the feeling of confusion.

. My thumbnails
It took me about an hour to make.

Here are my 12 thumbnails, it took me an hour to make sure which patterns I wanted to use.

I really disliked my first inked one, so, (as a perfectionist), I created a new one that took me again 4 hrs to finish. I hope this is better :)

Honestly I finished/made this before the day of the trip (Tuesday). So I forgot to post this haha

Second Experiment: https://nineplusone.makes.org/popcorn/2cgw

I believe my animated gif mashup is very rough, and it is nothing special. It is hard to do a special and good looking animated gif within 30 frames. In addition, while I’m working on the popcorn maker, I found out it is more difficult to find two different songs that perfectly matching with the beats and rhythms. Two different songs may cause them against each other by showing their own highlights. As a result, I think my final work comes out rough and I need comments to improve my work. In the end, I have updated the second experiment that can easily distinguish the rhythms of staccato and legato.
