I’m expanding my thesis. Three days ago, I put out the 4th and final Hello Whirled album of 2020, Hole of Infinity. As I was preparing for its release leading up to it, it occurred to me that it would be the 98th release on the Hello Whirled Bandcamp page. As it happened, I was … Continue reading “A Damp Socks Update”

Prototype 3
For my third prototype I created three different potential homepage designs on Adobe XD as representations of what my app might look like. Mostly, I wanted to experiment with different color themes and layouts that would all consist of the same material. I got lots of very valuable feedback from the class on my designs. … Continue reading “Prototype 3”
An Unapologetically Honest Update on My Thesis Project: Good For Your Health (2020-2021)
Good For Your Health: My idea for my thesis project is a six-song EP, tentatively titled “Good For Your Health.” The initial title I was working with was “2020 whoopin’ my ass,” and while the new title is more marketable, the message and emotions involved within my project remain stagnant. It is inspired by the … Continue reading “An Unapologetically Honest Update on My Thesis Project: Good For Your Health (2020-2021)”

Hi all! Overall, I have completed the thesis proposal paper and I am now onto putting things into action. My first steps will probably be to start on my design journey for the Tito’s merchandise.

Industry Event
For my industry events, I decided to attend several online art shows on places like Eventbrite or just seeing links from people I followed on Twitter, in the beginning of the semester in order to find inspiration for a style for my animation. Seeing other people’s work in these galleries and hearing them talk about … Continue reading “Industry Event”
wouldn’t it be wild if I published 4 songs from my senior thesis 3 days before the presentation day?

Walter B. – Prototype 3
For my final prototype, I decided to continue fleshing out the story of my short film. I completed a first draft of my script, shot list, and character design concepts. When working on the script, I decided to shorten the story to keep it simple. Instead of being around 5 minutes, the film will now … Continue reading “Walter B. – Prototype 3”
Prototype #3
Tackling the Technical Challenges Last week after we had talked about our 2nd prototypes , Professor Ault had challenged us to think about the technical challenges we need to face in order to pull off our ideas. For me, what I had not thought of was exactly how I was going to create a random … Continue reading “Prototype #3”
Prototype 1 – a reflection and why it caused a roadblock
As I type this, Prototype 2 and 3 were presented in class and I was present for those – giving me tremendous feedback and giving more focus and hope for my project! However, there is a glaring blip in my progress for prototype 1, which I was not able to make the presentation for. At … Continue reading “Prototype 1 – a reflection and why it caused a roadblock”
Prototype 3 – how it went
With prototype 3, I went into class more confident and even more excited to share what I had come up with. I felt really good about Mozilla Hubs, and what I was able to learn and explore with the program. I think it holds much potential for follow IMM thesis students to display their works, … Continue reading “Prototype 3 – how it went”
