Graphic Design & Digital Media
Project 2 (Semester Project)

 

Final Project:

Develop an interactive art composition or intricate animation . Use a composite of knowledge and skills that you have gained during the semester.

At minimum, your final product must use at least:

  • one class
  • array(s)
  • motion or interactivity —
    I'm not trying to lock you into strict guidelines. You have choices. Your project must include something that moves, changes, or allows the user to interact in some way.

    We did not cover game development in class. However, if you have previous programming experience and have the skills to develop a game, you may do so.

While this assignment is somewhat open-ended, it must be representative of what we have covered in the course. Be sure that it includes a good deal of design and programming features and has enough complexity to represent a final project.  

Do not copy a program from AI or elsewhere. If you are called upon to explain and or make changes to the program, you must be able to do so prior to receiving a grade.


General Guidelines:

  • Your design must be OOP, i.e. classes.
  • Make sure that every Processing assignment has the following lines at the top:
    Assignment #, Your Name, and Date
  • Be sure to comment liberally.
  • Use a moderate size. I suggest around 600px, but it depends on your design.
  • Your classes must be created using multiple tabs.
  • See the next page, and note that the write-up/description will be submitted before turning in the final project.

 

 

How to Submit:

You will submit the project in two parts.  Both will be submitted to a dropbox called “PROJECT 2" 

  1. THE WRITE-UP
    Due December 3rd, which is 3 days before your Final Exam Date
    The first submission will be a write-up/description of what you are doing.  Explain your project and include your inspiration behind the project.  Also indicate where you are on the project (status) and your general experience on working with the project.

    Note that 10 points will be deducted if you don't submit this on time. If not submitted at all, 20 points will be deducted.

  2. THE PROJECT
    Due on Final Exam Date
    The final submission is the project itself.  Submit the sketch in a zipped folder and upload it in OAKS dropbox called
    "Project2 - Final and Writeup".
