Project #8 Moving Poster

Description

For this assignment you will be creating a moving poster that embodies a single word or phrase.

Start by picking your single word or phrase. It could represent something you value, a word that always makes you laugh, a word you despise (i.e. moist), or a word to describe your current emotions / mood. Once you have your word or phrase, write (or draw) a descriptor list of the colors, shapes, and movement you associate with your word.
For example if your word was “frantic” you might write down–– “bright, neon colors, small dots, that oscillate in a jittery fashion.” Keeping your descriptor list in mind, generate a poster with shapes, movements, colors, and typography that you associate with your word.

Experiment with how the poster could change over time; how the type occupies the screen. For inspiration check out the work of Moon Jang and some of the featured work in the p5.js showcase HERE, or Tim Rodenbroker’s programming posters.

You can use canvas transformations,trigonometry functions, physics, or any tools we’ve learned up until this point to create your poster. Hint: To build upon this assignment for the interactive poster, think about how to structure your code (i.e. arrays and classes) so you can easily access the element’s data to add interactivity.

Design Process

My chosen word was change and I wanted to reflect the word itself changing, in size, background color and language.
