Today I made not one, but two plannings! They were initially requested by Sam, but very useful in these upcoming weeks. Especially with the midterm exhibition coming up next week. During my SDL-weeks, I want to read a book/ watch a documentary on the design/art-history. It is something I do not know a lot about and I think will be very useful in terms of communicating about a certain feeling or look. I think it will also help me to understand how society's changes influence design and can really change the way people look at things.
I am currently starting a project with Rik Bootsman. We are creating a clock which shows the time by a variation in the brightness/colour of (a lot of) RGB LED's). During the SDL weeks, we want to build/program it. We have already created a set-up; explored shift-registers and looked at the different components. Next step: ordering and creating the layour of the PCB. Down here is a video in which the result of the shift-register fiddling is seen. I especially like the 'wide rainbow' in which the colours gradually change.During the SDL-weeks, there is a lot of time to see interesting and new products, people and visions. This weeks is also a big week, as it is my first time on a big exhibition with my project. I hope to impress a lot of people and show them my capabilities as a designer.
