Final Project

When I was brainstorming step, I had many ideas, including using Photoshop to convert some of my picture to alphabet letters, but I thought this idea is not creative enough. Although it is high relevant to my life, but I had done similar work before. I want to do something not only creative, but also current.

"Draw Something" is a super popular Iphone and Ipad app. It is an addictive social drawing game. Player must select one of your friend on the Facebook to be your opponent. Game gives player 3 words at time, player can pick one from it. Draw this word, and opponent must guess and spell this word correctly, based on the drawing. This app is the number 1 free app, word app in more than 40 countries. Averagely 500 drawing upload every second. This is amazing. I cant imagine there are other 500 people are drawing pictures as what i am doing.

Words are display randomly, so I can not draw what ever I want. I want to draw something relevant to me. I draw five pictures. The first one is a famous movie, which will be re-released this year. The second one is my favorite food. The next one is a signature move from a sport game. The forth one is one of common condiments. The last one is a logo of something.....

I thought use this app to finish my final project is actually funny. I know it is risky to do it, because it is a game. Doing such thing as my final project might hurt my grade. Another reason why I want to do this project, because I can let other people guess what I draw in the presentation part. I can interact with other classmates. I want other people can participate in my project. I had fun of doing this project.

MP5




My action words are “Sever” and “Suspend”. I picked “Suspend” to be my action word. I decided to hang my watch on the top of my bed, because sometime I would wake up late. If I could let my watch suspend on the top of my bed, I can know the time once I was woke up by the alarm clock. Sometime I was woke up by the alarm clock, but I would immediately turned that off. The suspending watch could remind me the time is flying away. Time is flowing like air, one can no physically gain it or touch it. I should live in the moment, seize opportunities and cherish time.

Micro Project 4

The superpower that I want to have the most is the ability of flowing in the air. When I was a kid, Aladdin was one of my favorite stories. I love Aladdin and his flying carpet. He could fly to anywhere he wants. I think it is really cool that I can fly or float like he does. I consider myself as a lazy bone, because I hate walking. I prefer taking vehicles rather than walking. I dont like feeling of waiting for a bus in the station, because I am not a patient man.I think a great superpower should be beneficial to the world, at least it should be beneficial for myself.  If I could have the power of flying or floating like what Aladdin does, I could save a lot of time of waiting bus, and save a lot of energy of walking. If anyone wants to jump of a building, I could floating and saving his or her life. I think this superpower could be beneficial for both myself and the world, so this is the superpower that I want the most.

Micro Project 3

Where?
9th floor, Thompson Library
When?
A morning of a class day
What?
My overear headphone+water bottle+hat+glasses
Why?
The Thompson library is one of my favorite place in the campus. I enjoy the time I spend at the 9th floor. The beautiful view of the Oval is why this place is so attractive to me. I decide this spot to be my personal space in the campus. I think nothing could represent myself better than these personal items. This water bottle represents my body. Not only because water is a origin of life, but I also want my body could be as strong as this water bottle. The most often thing that I do in the library is reading, so I put my glasses on the top of the water bottle. I love to listen music while reading books. I put the headphone as the top of my statue.

Minor Project




I walked by Knowlton School of Architecture everyday. It is a very interesting building at OSU. Pac-man inspired me of doing this picture. Life is like a Pac-Man game, one has to finish eating all the beans before those monsters get him/her.
