Week 11:Computer Sound Mix

SO this may look like an ancient screen ship from a Windows Desktop PC, but actually its a website that visually and musically creates a mash-up of all the different kind of sounds that are in Windows. I just think it is so fascinating how someone could not only come up with this musically, but combine the visual aspect as well. I'm seeing a trend as I blog this semester with design not just encompassing visual aspects, but also combining musical aspects as well for a more immersive experience. I really enjoyed this website.

Week 10: Strange Statues

So this site showcases some of the most bizarre, yet interesting statues that can be found all over the world. I browsed through the many different images of a variety of statues, and was laughing but also impressed. I was also kind of surprised that some of these statues made it to the public eye. Interpretation is such an individualistic sort of thing. Someone can look at the design of one of these statues and be completely offended, yet another person could look at the same statue and relate, making them enjoy the design on a completely different level.

Week 10: Sidewalk chalk guy

This guy is extremely talented. He uses sidewalk chalk to create amazing works of art on sidewalk surfaces. The catch is, most of these images he created on sidewalks look incredibly real. I got the link to this site in an email, and I really couldn't believe my eyes at first. His artistry somewhat plays on optical illusion on your eye. I keep coming back to this site for more updates to see what he creates next. This guy has an incredible, unique conception of design which defines his overall success.
