slacked off a bit this week…. hehe…. i went cycling after the dissertation submission it was
very nice :) i thought it would refresh my mind give me new ideas and all but unfortunately it
did not
the rest of the week was spent filling up this burdensome cpj that i’ve been accidentally
ignoring. it was not fun, because i forgot what happened from week 2 - 4, and i feel like a lot
of it has been jumbled up and it might not make sense. too many thoughts were being thunk those
weeks, and i did not record down my thought process at all!!!! just terrible… i've learnt my
lesson to really constantly keep up with my cpj
we had a presentation this week as well, and i’m also rethinking the way my project is being
presented. i think i will also sadly take a step back from the cool threejs visuals, since it is
not progressing. i realised that there are two routes i can take for the visuals - one being a
very clean, pretty aesthetic, and the other raw, and seemingly not put together. i’ll continue
giving the graphics a try, but my main purpose is using the visualiser as a visual emotion
tracker and i don’t want the fancy graphics to distract users from this purpose. while
occasionally trying out the graphics i like, i should continue to develop another version solely
for that purpose. another outcome i can get out of that is a printed book of the different raw
visuals generated. due to the raw looks, hopefully it can be seen as a reflection of burnout,
and how chaotic it can be.
the complete opposite end of the spectrum from where i started from. i will start with coming up with a moodboard for this second visual approach.
overall class comments
make 'user testing' clearer
- survey sheet(?)
- helps viewers understand what was tested
- survey questions / target of testing must be clear
aesthetics
- more polished pls either by style quality or functionality
