After reading of the brief history of time with clocks, I was most intrigued by the idea of the “sunflower clock” and other patterns in nature that stray away from the conventional “sun and moon” diagram. Initially, I wanted to create a cock that mimicked the high and low tide of the beach, with perhaps waves being the second, sea foam being the minutes, and sand particles on the beach being hours. However, I was much more drawn to the works of Vincent Toupe, and how interesting and dynamic his abstract clocks were. Therefore, I then decided to hash out a more abstract clock with seconds represented by a growing ring, minutes represented by a triangle that shifts from left to right, and hours represented by a bar that shifts up and down. My first iteration of this abstract clock had started off with all three “hands” being represented by circles, but I wanted some other more obvious, visual representation between the seconds, minutes, and hours.

I was inspired by some photographs that I saw of hot air balloons, and I really wanted to play with the different colors of sky at different times of day. The trickiest parts for me were setting up the function drawBalloon() to create the balloons, because once I scaled them, I forgot what variables would be affected in terms of animation.

The largest, turquoise balloon represents seconds, with the magenta balloon as minutes and the orange balloon as hours. The sun also rises and sets based on the hour, with the highest point at noon.

}

The way to read the clock is that the minute and the hour are clearly stated in the text, and the second is related to the position of the stickman. The stickman would climb up 5 pixels every 5 seconds before it reaches to the middle, and it would climb down afterward.

The biggest struggle I had while doing this assignment is that I do not know how to make the man only step up once every 5 seconds and not to go straight up unstopping. Also, every time I refresh the page, the stickman would go back to its pre-set “y” location which causes a problem visually. Although there are a few hard codes in it, the final result still turns out good to me.

For this project, I was inspired by a simple abacus.

The abacus has historically been used as a mathematical and computational device, but I immediately was inspired by this as a clock, with each row representing a different time keeping variable (hour, minute, seconds) and each vertical line counting those variables. The script basically reflects the current time on the right and whatever is left over on the left, as if someone is moving a line over for each second, minute, etc.

I began by creating ellipses first, but then decided to create lines to create a deeper graphic relationship between the the hour, minutes, and seconds, as you can see that while the spacing is different between the lines for each variable, there are times when all of the lines vertically connect and it adds another element to this abstraction.

I enjoyed making this project as I used it to try and understand how to use sin and cos for an object to rotate around another. I decided to go with an adventurous space theme with with the earth in the bottom center and the sun and moon rotating around the earth. The sun is orange and the moon grey, both resembling the hour of the day (at 6pm and 6am you will be able to see both the sun and moon). The cloud resembles the minute of the hour and changes direction every hour. The cloud is seconds. I put the Little Dipper in the background as a nice accent to the overall picture.

For this project, I was inspired by the fireflies I saw in my backyard. The tiny firefly adds up every second, pink block adds up every hour, and the firefly in the middle rotates every minute. From last week to this week, my biggest challenge had been understanding “arrays” and “loops”. Through this project, I could understand these concepts better, and I had fun exploring different styles, color, and movements of the parts of the project.

I did a quick sketch before going into Illustrator.

Drawing on Illustrator helps me visualize more clearly.

My idea was a lot harder to create than I thought it would be. I created a spiral form of an abstract clock. The largest circles represent the hour, the medium sized ones represent minutes, and the smallest ones represent seconds. All 24 circles representing hours and all 60 circles representing minutes are drawn out. They get lighted up to represent the current time. The smallest circles representing seconds are drawn in real time which shows how time is moving forward.

I added in the background layers of ellipses and to make the clock more visually interesting. I also experimented with lines and added the lines to connects the canvas center to the second circles to make the movement of the clock more dynamic. I also ended up with having the circles of the more center parts of the spiral overlapping each other because I just like how it gives it a more dynamic “spiral” look rather than having equal distances between all of the circles.

For this project, I was inspired by making a simple abstract clock. My clock resembles a piano, with a white background and black stripes representing the hour, minute, and second in real time.

This project made me think about ancient ways of keeping track of time. One of which was by candle. I chose to recreate this in a intuitive way while also making the candles seem lifelike. The hour is represented by the rightmost lit candle, and the minutes are represented by how far down the current hour candle has burned. The further into the hour it gets, the more burned down the candle becomes. The flames flicker every second.
