I am a huge star wars fan and this was a fun project for me. I started off of thing about rings and how that can represent time, which then lead me to the death star on how the cannon needs to charge to fire. Below are some sketches that described what I had in mind before implementing it in p5.js. The seconds are represented by the green charging ring of the cannon of the Death Star. At the end of every min, the canon will fire. The lights at the equator of the Death Star represent each hour of the day. For example, 7AM will have 7 lights lit up. Finally the Star destroyer at the bottom moves across the screen every hour.

I got the idea from shishi odoshi, a Japanese devices that’s made to frighten away animals. The weight of running water makes the bamboo pivot. I feel like water could be a metaphor for time, so I made three shishi odoshis, each representing second, minute, and hour, respectively. Beads that represent water, fall into the shishi odoshis, and the weight of the beads make the bamboo pivot and fall down to a plate nearby. The beads are passed down like time flows. The number of beads in the plate indicate the second/minute/hour. The background color indicate day/night.

I had problem making the bamboo to pivot according to time at first. Then I break the motion down to two parts: one with the bamboo up, one with bamboo down, and wrote conditions according to time to control motion. I also had trouble matching the motion of the bamboo with that of the moving beads. After hours of test/adjustments they finally match.

I really like the glass half-empty and glass half-full idea, and how it gets harder to see things as glass half-full as time runs out. So I flipped it, and made it so the glasses fill with water as time goes on. It took me a while to figure out how map() works, but I eventually got it.

I got inspiration from my previous project and decided that I wanted to do something fruit related again. To show time, I wanted to have things rotate according to the hours, minutes, and seconds. When thinking of fruits and rotation, I thought of fruits in a blender. Therefore, I chose the peach and lemon and made the peach go according to the seconds and the lemon according to the minutes. After thinking about what to do for the hour, I figured out I could make the juice that the peach and lemon make rise according to the hours.

When I read the term “day-long animation” in the instructions, I immediately thought of birthday, and started to wonder a way to visualize a birthday as a clock. Then, I got an idea of a candle, which I thought was a perfect way to show the passing time because the size actually shrinks, and for this project, since I needed different variables that represent different units of time (such as seconds, minutes, and hours), I thought that I would be able to manipulate the number of the candles and the flickering fire to represent those different variables. The candles flicker every other second, shrink as a minute passes, and adds as an hour passes.

Relative Time

Statistics of absurd scales are often hard to wrap your mind around. As a designer, I’m interested in ways to help people understand information in the most intuitive way possible so that they can make the best decision. This Relative Time clock is an abstract clock that re-maps itself to a randomly selected statistic that I found on the internet. Some statistics are plain depressing, and some are just for laughs. I hope that this temporal data visualization can all help us better understand our world.

For this project I was aiming for something seemingly realistic. The background/sky color is controlled by the hours, moving from dark to light and vice versa as you move throughout the day. Every minute a light switches on in the building, and a blimp moves across the screen a certain distance every second.

It was somewhat challenging, but I learnt a lot from the experience.

This clock isn’t what I thought it would be. I think I had a lot of creative ideas that just didn’t completely work out. I wanted to create a pulsing circle based on the minute and have a “second” hand and circle revolve around the center. Every hour, a square would rotate as well. I also wanted all of these shapes to draw over each other. By doing so I could create a cool optical illusion effect which I think I was successful at but there are still bugs in my code that I couldn’t quite resolve. Additionally, wordpress seems to not be able to handle my clock since so much information is being stored and drawn over. My code doesn’t normally freeze when the index is run normally if you want to check: ashleyc1-Section C-Project-06

When I was very young, I never understood what a metronome was used for. The only thing that I found fascinating about the thing was the satisfying ticking noises, a unique and signature sound that sounded different and more pleasant compared to other ticking objects I encountered with everywhere at the time. Although the movement of the wand was repetitive and wasn’t really that interesting, I used to wonder why and how it moves back and fourth. I always wondered about the purpose of the metronome until I started to learn how to play the piano and learned that the metronome was used to control your tempo. Before I knew anything about the metronome, I assumed the metronome to be some type of clock since it had numbers, ticked, and moved back and fourth like a pendulum on old fashioned wall clocks or grandfather clocks. This gave me the inspiration to make this project. Although the color palette is a bit strange and there is no ticking noises, I still really like this project regardless.

I thought of how the seconds clock moves faster than the minute and the hours is the slowest. I then thought of different symbols to represent this difference in speed. I came up with Second the Rabbit, Minute Man, and Hour the Panda. I am quite pleased with the outcome and the race my symbols are running.
