To convey life and death in the image, Xingfu drew circles and line taps, half of which were filled in with black ink and the other half left blank. The idea was came from the text, the words “dead,” and “live”. He’s trying to express that live and death are so close.

In Twisted space, Xingfu drew a snake like tape goes in circle like a sea shield. He is trying to express how a twisted space look like, a twisted space in his mind is like a space that has no end and it keep continue twisting.

Project #5: Color Interaction Parings: Phase 2

Group 1 – Achromatic gray studies

colorinteractions_value(group 1)In group one, I think its the most easy part of this phase. All I’m doing is pick two different value colors to make center color look like they have different value, in fact, they have exactly same value.

Time took 10 minutes.

Group 2 – Shifting value (with color)

colorinteractions_value(group 2)

Group two is also kind of easy. I picked a color and change the value of the color to support the center color look different in value.

Time took 10 minutes.

 

Group 3 – Shifting hue, but not value

colorinteractions_huenotvalue(group 3)In group three, it did challenge me a little. I have to find two different color and make them have same value, and they have to support the center color look like they have different value.

Time took 20 minutes.

Group 4 – Shifting hue and value

colorinteractions_huenotvalue(group 4)

Group four is very similar to group three, the only different part is I can change the value of the two color.

Time took 10 minutes.

 

Group 5 – Extra Credit

colorinteractions_huenotvalue(gourp 5)Group five is similar to group four, however group four end up with center color looks like has different value, and group five is to change the value of center color to make them look like exactly same, in fact the value are different.

Time took 20 minutes.

Saturation Studies: Phase 2

 

Fixed Prismatic Studies

Muted Studies
Muted Studies
Chromatic Studies
Chromatic Studies

Total time took 6 hours to finish. By doing chromatic studies, I learn when mixing two opposite color on color wheel with same amount. The color will become darker. When doing muted studies, I learned when adding different amount color can change the volume of the color. Fixed prismatic studies are the easiest part of the project, its only using six pure color to paint.

——————————————————————————————-

From reading The House of Memory. Xingfu recreates the page into a image by using Pigma Micron 05 and PITT artist Big brush. To convey life and death in the image, he drew circles and line taps, half of which were filled in with black ink and the other half left blank. The idea was came from the text, the words “dead,” “live” and “spirit”. he’s trying to express that live and death are so close, circles are represent the spirit.

Project #3: revising the pitch (Final)

People always say time is money, especially those who live in a big city. They always thinking of go to their destination as fast as possible. And usually those routes are very noisy, with all those honking sound from cars. However, people might want to try some different route, there could be many beautiful and quiet scenery on the way to your destination, that could make the route totally different than the original route. With the app I’m working on (New Life Routing), User could make this happen easy and simple. Compare to all other routing app, most of them make the route fast and short enough to get to users destination, however what my app does is to make the route a little longer, so the user can see many beautiful scenery, and feel nature quiet and peace, while on the way to their destination.

Taking a route to the destination directly and do what ever users have to do, or spend few more minutes on the way, walk through quiet road and see some beautiful scenery. Think about it, if that day you were in a bad mood, however, you took this extra few minutes detour, and it made your day. Don’t you think that worth a lot? The air people breath everyday in most of the place of big city are not very fresh, by taking these detour people can breath fresher air. People might felt boring when go to same place with same route every time, this app make your route more interesting, beautiful and healthier.

This detour at citytech Namm Hall and our destination is Brooklyn Hieghts Promenate. When walk out of the building, turn left walk to the end of the block then turn right, walk to Cadman plaza, you can see Cadman Plaza Park. There is a big field in the center of the park surround with woods, some people play sport in the field, and some just lay down on the grass reading book. Now turn right walk toward to Johnson Street, there is another park named Columbus park, if you were lucky, you can see pigeons surround those people sit on the bench, waiting for food. Across Cadman Plaza W, walk into Pierrepont street, and keep walking to Monroe Place, you can see a church is at that corner, its appearance is very old. For some people looking at some old building make them feel really peaceful. Keep walking to Henry Street turn left and walk two blocks to Remsen street, then turn right. On this street, its really quiet, not much car drive by, even if they did, they didn’t make much sound, because of the road is very small, they drive very slow. As you keep walking to the end of the road, its a dead end. Here, you can see the whole skyline of Manhattan, and here is most quiet and peaceful place in this detour.

This was a detour was one example from our beta user’s experience. When using the app, user can choose how long do user want to walk, either time or distance. The app will calculate the best route that match to user’s requirement. Users can pick what kind of route theme they want, the app also provide free music that matches to the them user picked. The app often provide special option when user go to certain place in a certain time, such as the app will note user there are restaurant nearby when its time to eat lunch, desert or dinner. The app also calculate the time you will took in this detour, or time how long you have walked in this detour. The app will also tell user about the weather changes. The app has history record, it will save every route users have walked, of course user can also delete the history. It also has suggest caption, such as the best time to go this certain location can have the best experience, it will shows in the description before users start the detour. User can control the app with sound, just like siri or google. However its better than siri or goolge, because it can learn from the user. About what? About what kind of route the user prefer to see and the language users prefer to speak.

When people trying to find routing apps, most of them are provide the fastest and shortest route for user to get to their destination. Now I have made this app New Life Routing which not only make the route acceptable short but also make users’ detour more interesting and enjoyable. And even make their life healthier. Such a incredible app, why not give a try, and don’t forget share it with your friends.

Chromatic Gray Studies – Exercise #1 & 2

On the left side is broad rang collage, the other one is high key collage. It took 2 hours to finish. By doing this project, I learned how to make chromatic gray of the colors. I enjoy the most in this part of the project is, mixing color to discover those chromatic gray color.
