Movement through Layers

The first (3)layers I wanted to Create movement by use of shadow, opacity, and position change.

the 4th and 5th layer I wanted to appear intensely above the first 3 layers. I used edge accent to make it better pop. The 5th layer made more brighter then the 4th to appear above the 4th layer.

the 6th layer was used to be bright and above all layers, however, the intensity of the piece ruins the elegant simplicity of the piece and obvious movement.

I wish my imaging was more realistic or more obviously 3D

I would have stopped before I added the Last layer.

Controlled Serendipity

I ain’t got no car
And I've got one pair of jeans
They’ve been stretched too far
And now they’re weak at the seams
I can’t say what’s next
And I got nothin' up my sleeve
But I don’t lose my head
Cause it ain’t really up to me

And I’m doing just fine
I’m always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain’t gonna stress
Cause the worst ain’t happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity

I don’t ask for a lot
No nothing more than I need
Because I love what I got
Don’t need to play the lottery
I just want to be strong
At the end of the road
I don’t want to hold on
I want the strength to let go

And I’m doing just fine
I’m always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain’t gonna stress
Cause the worst ain’t happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
-SWEET SERENDIPITY- LEE DeWyze

Controlled serendipity in terms of this project-Is having a goal in mind, a plan, an idea. On the path to your final idea, you might get inspired or fall upon something that *works better* then your initial idea for the end. Its allowing a better result with the same idea or a branch off of the original idea.

What do the words "presentation", "representation" mean to you

PRESENTATION VS. REPRESENTATION

"Humans are useless in the presentation form and Computers are useless in the representation form."

I believer there is some truth to that yet, disagree with it as well. What we want to represent: what media, what we want to get across, how we go about doing it cant be developed from a computers end, however, a computer can very much inspire us and change our development of an original idea. What we present however, is finalized. I don't think that means the computer is in full control. I believe that we still have the opportunity in manipulating our outcomes and last min... maybe we through in a mixed media element what is it projected or printed on to? Is it interactive? I think society needs to realize both computer and ourselves play a vital role, hand in hand in our outcomes and our destinies of what a computer can do for us, and for technology.
