I found it interesting to make a visual note like this. It made me rethink about the content I learned in the class and turned it into something that could be interpreted mainly with lines and drawings. It is also made think about ways to simplify and generalize the content so that others could understand … Continue reading Visual Note Taking:Inheritance in Java
Organic Chemistry Visual Notes
One of the things I found the most interesting about making visual notes was how similar it was to my normal notes in Organic Chemistry. Organic Chemistry notes are generally very visual because of how much of the subject relies on visualizing the molecules in three dimensions. Doing this sketch assignment really made me think …
Visual Notes: Neuroethics Overview
I am taking a class entitled “Disability and Bioethics” this semester in which we consider ethical issues from a bioethical perspective in tandem with a disability studies perspective. We recently began the section on neuroethics, the introductory lecture for which I thought would be interesting represented visually. For this class, we read the introduction to Neuroethics: …
Cinemagraph: Where did all my time go?
I originally intended to create a cinemagraph of a bike with only its tires spinning. The inspiration came to me while I was at Piedmont Park the other day and I decided to shoot the footage right away, assuming all would work out. I had not yet seen the Lynda tutorial, however, which prevented me …
Cinemagraph: Lit Candle
For this sketch I asked a friend to spin a candle lighter on her finger while keeping a lit candle in the shot. The idea […]
Sketch 10: Visual Note Taking
I am an avid doodler, so all of my hand-written notes look very similar to this. I often take notes in various colored pens where I write down important words or phrases larger, with different bubble letters or handwriting styles to further emphasize the concept. For this assignment, the only main difference that I employed […]
Ball in Perpetuity
The original idea behind “Ball in Perpetuity” was to spin a ball on my finger and then turn that into a GIF, since I can’t spin a ball on my finger for longer than like 1-2 seconds. I had fun filming it, but I ran into a number of problems while actually making the cinema-graph […]
Whirlpool Cinemagraph
In creating this cinemagraph, I knew I wanted to do something with water. From the ones that I browsed through, I thought the ones that had water elements looked the most interesting because of the stark contrast between the fluidity of liquid and the motionless background. So, I had my friend create a tornado in his water bottle, and I recorded him. I then imported this video file into Photoshop to edit. I actually had great difficulty with photoshop because…
Running Water
I used photoshop to make the cinemegraph shown above. First, a friend recorded me watering plants in front of the Woodruff Library at Emory University. A few takes were required to get the water to pour at the right speed. I wanted the water pouring fast enough to see it moving, but slow enough that it …
I Tried to Make A Cinemagraph, I Swear
I really tried to make a cinemagraph in Photoshop. When that didn’t work, I tried really hard to make a gif in Photoshop. I think the main root of most of my problems lies in the fact that I have absolutely no idea how to use Photoshop. Regardless, I resorted to giphy.com to create …
