My final project was inspired by my daily commute on the monorail of my hometown (Daegu, South Korea). It showcases places I regularly visited, landmarks, and the train I took “moving” through the landscape. I focused my project on the aesthetic more than its functions, because I wanted to make the project personal through making all of the assets by hand, through Adobe Illustrator, with a drawing tablet.<\/p>\n

I started by brainstorming the locations I wanted to include in my sketch by looking through pictures I had taken at certain places in Daegu. Based on that, I compiled a list of feasible locations to draw and arranged them generally by location based on the Daegu subway map. After a few days of work, I completed the illustrations, exported them as pngs, and brought them into openprocessing. I decided to keep the subway stationery in the center and move the background image to show movement. I included a forloop to loop the image to make a continuous landscape.<\/p>\n

Initially, I wanted to use a weather API to change the background colors (the sky) based on the temperature and the sunset\/sunrise times. I made a separate openprocessing document to include the api. After getting data from the weather api, I used if statements to determine the colors, which I picked from Warhol’s sunset print collection. Generally, I went with warm colors for hot weather and cool colors for cold weather. After that, I added the code to the landscape animation, but the sketch would not load or disappear when I included the background changes, so I had to leave the weather segment out to present a functioning project.<\/p>\n
