Hello! This is a presentation page for my Trimester 2 assessment. I have chosen to create a separate wiki page from the ones I have been using for documentation/note taking in order to focus more on the contributions to the special issues 22 and 23 rather than on day to day notes.

Odd socks

I made some collage/html experiments for an odd sock selector.

This small side project started from my enjoyment of wearing odd socks, and finding a bag of assorted patterned paper at Scrap. I made a collage cutting and assembling these papers to create many single socks.

Initially, I wanted to make it into a zine, but then I realized it would be nice opportunity to create a sock choice generator, selecting a pair at random

Leaflets and handouts

For the production teams, I worked with Thijs and Zuzu on the digital image for the launch and the handouts. We first focused on the ‧₊˚⊹ ˖spectacular digital image˖ ⊹˚₊‧.

We decided to use Exquisit Corpse prototyping, so passed on a prototype to each other [Anita > Zuzu > Thijs > Anita] for 3 days in a row. We then used the results to create two more prototypes based on the outcomes and finally created a last image based on the feedback we recieved from the rest of XPUB1. For a much more in depth overview of the whole process, we documented the steps taken in this separate ‧₊˚⊹ ˖Wiki page˖ ⊹˚₊‧

Final digital Image

We then continued on working on the handouts for the evening of the launch. We really wanted to make something inspired by a collage/patchwork, and quite quickly settled on the idea of creating a handout that had a separate piece of paper for each project, bound together.

We initially wanted to recycle used paper for it, but we were not able to find enough paper for how much we wanted to print so we ended up buying it. We printed the handouts with the big HR printers and then bound them by using a grommet machine at the fashion station
