• Write a blog post about how computation applies to your interests, due 24 hours before the next class. This could be a subject you've studied, a job you've worked, a personal hobby, or a cause you care about. What projects do you imagine making this term? What projects do you love? (You can review and contribute to the ICM Inspiration Wiki page). In the same post (or a new one), document the process of creating your sketch. What pitfalls did you run into? What could you not figure out how to do? How was the experience of using the web editor? Did you post any issues to github?

I finished my undergraduate with industrial design and minor in sustainability. I was always the kid who love to make something with my own hands and that was why I chose industrial design. But during the college, I want to have a product that can easily explain current problem of sustainability but I only know make things with hand and I couldn’t expand my art without the knowledge of computational background. I choose ITP to collaborate my background with future learning sources and one day I can create my design more structure and user-friendly to people.

Since I have no background of coding or computation, I am really nervous but also excited to learn new things. In this term, I am planning to create a media source that can explain the problem of the Earth which was damaged and dying from the human. I am very interested of project which is called “NYC STREET TREES” I think this really interesting project to show user which types of trees are living in NYC. I feel the visual effects and coding was well collaborated together and this gives more attention to user. I also wants to create something like this.

• Self-Portrait Process

At the portrait, I mainly focused on my what my usual face is. So I titled this self portrait as “Usual Expression.” I usually open my mouth bit rather than fully closed. Also when I am tired or eat something heavy, my nose is puffy and it looks huge and I think that is the most characteristic feature at my face so I emphasize the nose. Since it is a self - portrait, I want to focus on just face so I put the shadow behind the face and make sure people can focus on my face. During this work, I wasn’t sure how to use arc correctly. I thought I put all the right numbers but it wasn’t working and it went to wrong position. So I started to put the random number to figure out what is the problem. Also, during the use of arc(), I got confused on, PI, TWO_PI and HALF_PI, I am still confused on when I need to put + sign with correct PI.

Since, this is my first time of using web editor, it took a lot of time than I expected but the process was surprisingly interest.
