From the start of the semester I had an idea of what I wanted to do. There is a famous comic artist named Robert Crump and he would draw the characters with large feet. It ended up being famous for the “keep on truck’n” fad. I love the style of the drawing and the idea of the camera being at ground level and the focus on the large feet. I knew that my character would being walking through the city so I started developing buildings with windows. Processing has the ability to load an images and that could be an alternative to using processing geometry. Plus it could help with the style. I will load the character like a sprite character sheet much like a video game. This will allow me to manipulate the character.

The set up for this final project will be building off of my previous projects. Setting the buildings using, variables, conditions, loops, functions, and arrays. This loops and array will help with loading the image of the character. In the future I can add logic to the character with algorithms and maybe some json data to help load images.

One thing that I noticed when looking at other students work is that my work was very boring and lacked the artistic side of this creative code class. I was pretty focused on getting the code to work and not so much on making it look beautiful or aesthetically pleasing. But never the less, There are two people that stood out to me as an influence for me for my final project. This is Izzy Church’s or Kimberly Studer-Kayle. I really liked her color theory and design especially because of the city scape. It really stood out to me as well designed and beautiful.
