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: Audio Reactive Particle Cloud

My second experiment with TouchDesigner is creating this audio-reactive particle visual by following Bileam Tschepe 's tutorial on Youtube. Again, I just followed his tutorial step by step. This tutorial is a little different because it uses both audio and visuals. The visual follows the music in real-time. Other than audio, we are also introduced with the element 'Math' to add the channels of the audio together. This is the end product. Music is FriendsV2 by Muskatt.

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.

TouchDesigner Experiment: Particle Displacement

My first experiment with TouchDesigner is creating this particle displacement visual by following Bileam Tschepe's tutorial on Youtube. His tutorial is pretty clear on how to create this project, however, I'm going to show a little on how it goes. This is my result.
