Exquisite Corpse
| Background Story
This is a traffic cone boy who loves vegetables. He goes to grocery store under the burning sun to get cabbages every single day, even though his color fades away from orange to yellow.
| Design Process
Here are the sketches and background stories:
"Struggling with life.
Doing absolutely nothing but sitting on the couch and eating pizza."
-- Yiqing Zhou
"They go to work, wait, and watch.
The day passes, months pass the same.
Their color fades, as time drifts.
They were left behind.
Bright orange to dull yellow, the sun won. "
-- Aamina Palmer
"Frederic was born on a plane in the hours of the day lost between time zones. A solid foundation of cabbage and acute hearing has taken him
far in life. He works as a curator of garden art and has organized shows at some of the fanciest gardens in the world."
-- Lauria Clarke
I started by redoing the sketch that comblines different body parts. I chosed the upper body of Aamina's sketch, and the lower body of Lauria's.
Then I transferred my freehand sketch into the p5 sketch. I really like Aamina's idea that the color of the cone boy would fade away. So I turned the mouse icon into a sun and let the color gradually change from orange to yellow while clicking.
| Reflection
I found user-defined functions very helpful. I could have saved a lot of time by using it in my previous assignments. The more we learn about coding, the more we can optimize our program and save time.
