I hope to find my voice as a designer and create beautiful things that merge my passions for human rights and media studies. I enjoy watching films, fundraising, listening to music, curating moodboards and collecting archival fashion pieces.
My final sketch has a few separate functions: - if the canvas height > width, the screen will spam either "i fear" or "i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)" - if the canvas width > height (wide), the screen will randomly show a stanza of the poem - if the canvas width > 650 + canvas height > 490, the full poem will be revealed. I also changed the colors to be either red, white or black.
Added variables in GUI– the size + colors of the circles. Added random text color GUI.
Added GUI for canvas width and height and added conditionals so that if the height or width is below a certain value the display will be different.
I chose the poem i carry your heart with me(i carry it in by E.E Cummings. I first read it in middle school and I was very moved by it as it broke many structural and grammatical rules–I did not know the English language could be deconstructed and still carry so much emotion, perhaps even more. The poem feels even more relevant now than it did in the past after losing loved ones and understanding grief.
