Visual Language Week 5

Assignment Part 1: Choose a logo that you think is successful and come to class prepared to give a 3 minutes presentation on it; why you like it and if you can track it down, some information about the designer and the story or inspiration behind the logo design.

Nice logo! or is it the nostalgia talking?

Company History:

"In 1932, Ole Kirk's shop started manufacturing wooden toys, ironing boards, stepladders, piggy banks, and cars. By 1934, the company decided to adopt the name LEGO, formed from the Danish phrase "LEg Godt" ("play well"). In 1962, the first LEGO products were introduced in the U.S in sets of bricks. By 1966, LEGO kits would guide young hard hats in snapping together different kinds of trucks, buildings, ships, and planes. In 1973, a new LEGO logo replaces the former various logotypes to symbolize the expectations that people have of the company. In 1987 the brick logo is presented. A new logo is developed in April 1998. The new LEGO logo unifies all the company's products under one banner."

Assignment Part 2: Design a new logo for ITP!

Creative Brief: ITP seeks a new design for the logo that represents their program. The logo should communicate the mission of the organization best articulated as The Center for the Recently Possible. The logo will be used in large and small format including on banners at events that ITP participates in and in official communications from the school. It should reflect the rigor/seriousness of the program but also the creative and experimental nature of the program.

The audience is those familiar with the program, including existing faculty and alumni as well as those who are being introduced to ITP for the first time including applicants and the media. The logo should use just the acronym – ITP and reference New York University in some way. The need to reference Tisch is optional.

Process:

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a clinical syndrome in which a decreased number of circulating platelets (thrombocytopenia) manifests as a bleeding tendency, easy bruising (purpura), or extravasation of blood from capillaries into skin and mucous membranes (petechiae).

Symptoms include:

An initial impression of the severity of ITP is formed by examining the skin and mucous membranes, as follows:

· Oozing from a venipuncture site, gingival bleeding, and bruising

· Headache, blurred vision, somnolence, or loss of consciousness

· Hypertension and bradycardia, which may be signs of increased intracranial pressure

· Blurring of the optic disc margins or retina

Final Assignment Part 1: I decided to make a color picker. Drawing inspiration from Venn diagrams, RGB values are added together where the squares overlap and color can be manipulated with a slider.

The code!

import controlP5.*;

ControlP5 cp5;

int sliderValue = 100;

ColorPicker cp;

Slider abc;

float r=255;

float g=0;

float b=0;

float r1=0;

float g1=255;

float b1=0;

float r2=0;

float g2=0;

float b2=255;

void setup(){

size(600,600);

cp5 = new ControlP5(this);

cp = cp5.addColorPicker("R")

.setPosition(340,540)

.setColorValue(color(255,128,0,128));

}

void draw (){

background(0);

println (mouseX +"," + mouseY);

rectMode(CENTER);

color c = cp.getColorValue();

r = 255+red(c);

b = blue(c);

g = green(c);

r1 = red(c);

b1 = 255+blue(c);

g1 = green(c);

r2 = red(c);

b2 = blue(c);

g2 = 255+green(c);

//RectA

fill(r, g, b);

rect(200,400, 250, 250);

//RectA1

fill(r+r1,g+g1, b+b1);

rect(250, 350, 150, 150);

//RectB

fill(r1, g1, b1);

rect(300, 300, 250, 250);

//rectb1

fill(r2+r1,g2+g1, b2+b1);

rect(350, 250, 150, 150);

//RectC

fill(r2, g2, b2);

rect(400, 200,250, 250);

//rectC1

fill(r2+r1+r,g2+g1+g, b2+b1+b);

rect(300, 300,50, 50);

//RectA1

fill(r+r1,g+g1, b+b1);

rect(250, 350, 150, 150);

//rectb1

fill(r2+r1,g2+g1, b2+b1);

rect(350, 250, 150, 150);

//rectC1

fill(r2+r1+r,g2+g1+g, b2+b1+b);

rect(300, 300,50, 50);

}

Influenza (an Infectious disease that is easily transmitted by contact with an ill person or their secretions) kills about 250,000 to 500,000 worldwide each year.

The most common symptoms are chills, fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle pains, headache (often severe), coughing, weakness/fatigue and general discomfort. While in the planning stages of my final project, I noticed that many of my classmates (including myself) were complaining about these symptoms....I am not actually a huge proponent of getting the flu shot, however, I am interested in health promotion and using my time at ITP to using technologies for knowledge transfer and exchange!

For my final, I decided to make an animation that would demonstrate how illness (specifically, the flu) might spread at ITP. At first, I wanted to incorporate data that i collected using an online survey (found here: SURVEY). Unfortunately, I found that because of time constraints and the huge task of animating simple, timed movements, I could not add the data component.

Mood Shield

The mood shield affords wearers a personal climate that is responsive to their moods. A color-codified system of expression allows the wearer to communicate their moods to the outside world and experience the benefits of biofeedback!
