Module 2

This module focuses on sound and it's application in a user's expirence and interactions with a design, as it acts as another layer of communication between the design. designer, and the user. The sounds/words and music that a person hears directly influences how they interpret and consume information, evoking different emotions and responses depending on their context. We spent time in the first activity building a sound library with interesting sounds in our lives. In the second activity we used these sounds to created interactive sketches using the p5js sound library, which became the basis for finished designs.

Final Project 2 Design

P5 Interactive Audio Web Header Portfolio

For the final design, I created a header that focuses on the theme of bridging gaps and creating new things in unexpected ways. Whenever it detects mic levels from the user, certain elements will be pulse, the intensity of which is determined by how loud the user speaks. Everything moves in tandem with each other, and the user is encouraged to play around with their volume to discover different ways to display the design.
