CLASS: transmedia design
TERM: fall 08
Each of us were given two words to work with for an entire term. We were then given various constraints in which to describe the meaning of each word.
Text only:
Affordance:
I created an Emergency Affordance Kit, containing stickers that can be placed on objects with low affordance interfaces.
Constraint:
I created this extra large poster with the words "THE MAN." The idea behind this was to use the old saying that "The "Man" is holding me down." "The Man" is used as a constraint in that saying. This poster is a visual play on this phrase.
Image only:
Affordance:
I chose to create posters using simple machines as my imagery.
Constraint:
I put a literal constraint on myself for this project, forcing myself to take one image every hour on the hour for 24 hours. This contact sheet was a result of this experiment.

Audio only:
Constraint:
I interviewed some of my peers asking them about dreams that they will probably never be able to fulfill.

Visual only:
Affordance:
I filmed the affordance of a crosswalk.
Constraint:
Going off of the "image only" constraint project, I decided to film the first few seconds of every space that I entered for the span of one day.
Audio x Visual:
Affordance:
This is the affordance of a door handle.
Constraint:
I created a slide show that changed images every second, then I had people call out the images as they came on screen.

Interactive:
Affordance x Constraint:
I created an animation of the affordance of buttons... which ended up turning into a constraint of sorts.
