I started out this project hoping to represent time more interactively, something more than just a clock. I have always been fond of the underwater so I chose it as the theme of my abstract clock. My initial design is attached below. I changed around a bit because I later found out the constant shit of colors is not a good representation of time. Overall I enjoyed doing this project, it helped it lot with learning time application and randomness.
