These works were created in a variety of software engines over the course of my Interactive Technology class. If I had to choose my favorite pieces, they would be the DIYrian Banner and the Hypothetical Podcast Intro (both of which are listed below).

Layering Practice

This landscape was created in Photoshop using public domain images. The purpose of this assignment was to understand how layers worked in the engine, and to create a scene with a depth of field.

Library of the Tunicates

This small website about Tunicates was created with Glitch to learn about programming in HTML and CSS. Tunicates are invertebrate organisms that live in marine environments and possess a notochord (making them humans' closest invertrebrate relative!). There are further sources listed at the bottom of the site if you are interested in learning more about Tunicates.

Creating this website was good practice for learning HTML and CSS. It taught me to always look closely for errors in the code, to and take my time adding new features, so that everything on the website would be functional.

DIYrian Banner

This banner for a fictional cafe-crafting-center-hybrid was created in Adobe Illustrator. I incorporated a durian into the design because I am enthralled by fruit. The purple stroke beneath the text is used to create visual pop in contrast to the warm-gold tones of the durian, as well as the green of the background and the fruit’s outer shell.

Spooky Scene

This spooky, incredibly opaque scene was created using Photoshop. It was created for a Halloween-themed assignment, hence its grim atmosphere. I used a variety of disolving effects on the ghost people hanging upside down in the upper region of the piece.

Hypothetical Podcast Intro

This fictional podcast opening was created using Audacity to practice with sound editing. The Asymptote would be about mathematical concepts and "What-ifs?..." in the style of science fiction shows such as Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. Some sound effects I used to give the opening an ethereal tone were a ticking clock, a metal pipe, and the sound of a slide projector changing slides, all of which were given reverb and increased in tempo. Ben Snorret's voice was made using online text-to-speech (not AI), which was then lowered slightly in pitch.

Icecream Melting Gif

An animated gif of mint-chocolate chip ice cream in a cup melting rapidly. Some of the ice cream drips onto the floor, while other parts fall off in huge chunks

This gif was created in Adobe Animate. I chose mint-chocolate chip as the flavor so I could animate the chocolate chips sinking into the soupy mass of the ice cream as it melted. I also experimented with having large chunks of the ice cream plop onto the ground alongside small drips.

Premiere Editing Exercise

This short video was created to practice working with Adobe Premiere. We were required to add transitions between every scene, and at least two visual effects anywhere in the video. The footage is all public domain, and the music is Clavier 1 by Monplaisir, which is released under public domain.

I Shall Destroy Normalcy | Montage Film

To view this video on YouTube itself, click here!

This video was created in Adobe Premiere and is a montage of plants. I wanted to capture scenes of nature that get regularly ignored in our society. If I were allowed to use non-commercial free music, I would have chosen Hiroshi Yoshimura's song Feet (Check out his work, it's really beautiful!). This video contains an up-close shot of a live Fine-Backed Red Paper Wasp, so be wary if you possess an aversion to insects.
