Website Portfolio Update: Portfolio Details

The details for the portfolio has a standard look. It got a cover page that is the same as the thumbnail seen on the featured page. The name of the project and the year the work was created is plastered there.

Using full-screen pictures is an effective way in web designing to capture people's attention. Like on Molly and Me Pecans, we are immediately gobsmacked by a huge picture of their delicious snack, which makes us more attracted to the brand and curious to learn more about what the brand offers.

Selection of this all-important asset is absolutely crucial, as it can make or break a user's emotional connection with the brand. Make sure it bears strong relevance to the actual subject matter wherever possible.

You need to build an association with the individual brand in question, and an image that feels too generic or 'bought in' will detach users from the experience and undermine the site's authenticity.

Both quotes are taken from the first point in this article.

For the portfolio detail, it is straight to the point and clear on what I want to show per project. The two headings on the details page differ for different projects. Some projects discuss the concept and executions, some can be about the idea and the teammates. When showing my projects, I want people to focus on understanding the meaning of each work I did, hence there are two columns of descriptions; to let people understand deeper about each work, a video and a gallery consisting of four pictures related to the project.

TouchDesigner Experiment: Inserting OSC data with OSCIn

From one of my last experiment , I tried to change the data input. Instead of using audio, I replaced it with OSC data from my Muse headset. To connect your OSC device to TouchDesigner, make sure that the IP address and port number is the same so the data transfer can be accurate. In this case, I use a third-party app called Mind Monitor (available on iOS devices) to connect my Muse headset to the TouchDesigner software. Below are screenshots and videos from my experiment. You can see that the brainwave data is already recorded in real-time in the software. Then I used the alpha, beta, and theta brainwave to change the movement of the visuals (the chosen brainwave data I used are just placeholders for now to see the movement). Then the data is connected with 'noise', which is like the fluid/abstract visuals you see on the background. I also set the colors to be moving/changing over time.

Introducing Halcyon

Halcyon is an immersive installation that allows users to translate their brainwave activity into visual art with the help of Muse headset. This project aims to provide entertainment purposes for the curious mind and research a less explored territory that is brainwave art in digital media. Wearing the Muse headset across the head, it transfers the brainwave to an application called Mind Monitor, which then sends the data to another software called TouchDesigner to project the visuals in real-time. Halcyon, as a brand, is very fluid and abstract, since it produces artwork that is different for everyone. To emulate this goal, the references for this project need to be represented as such as well. Furthermore, as Halcyon is a simple project, I think that mere typography would be sufficient to deliver the aim of the brand. A logo is the keystone of a brand, and it has the power to represent the values a brand upholds. Before proceeding to design a logo, there are some essential rules that...

TouchDesigner Experiment: Spectrum to TOPs

This time, the experiment I did with TouchDesigner is creating this audio-reactive abstract wave visual by following Bileam Tschepe 's tutorial on Youtube. This time, Bileam Tschepe's video thought us how to convert an audio spectrum directly to TOPs using the CHOP to TOP and compositing. Following his tutorial, here is my version of the project.
