Project #4 Exquisite Corpse
Description
This project is a changeable exquisite corpse made from sketches by me (kneeling man), Brittany (colored man) and Nicholas (cockroach man).
Design Process
I received the body parts from my teammates, however since we all did them in different canvas ratio, I re-aligned and fixed the scaling of the images. Then, these images are removed of the white backgrounds in Photoshop and exported into 3 slices of 400 (width) by 200 (height) in pixels of each figure.
The files are then uploaded into the sketch's directory. Each part has three options, by stacking a randomly selected piece for each body part, the exquisite corpse is completed! Click on each respective area will randomly reselect a piece from this area.
The user defined function that I created in this case is a helper function that takes in a list of images and randomly return 1 image from the available ones.
Unfortunately we did not exchange background stories so I had to make one up:
This is a exquisite magic mike corpse show slot machine! The winner can enjoy a good 30 minutes stripe show of the resulting corpse!
The original corpses: kneeling man by Faye, man in red by Brittany and cockroach man by Nicholas
Reflection
I started out trying to draw the figures each by each. Unfortunately, the silhouettes are too complex to pin donw through vertices. This form enables more interactivity and can be expanded with much more ease (e.g. adding more possible body parts). I wish I could figure out how to make a slot-machine type animation when changing the sections.
