Magdy

Fresh New Design

Hello Everyone

I'm working now at the graduation website which i linked to our blog to increase the traffic and encourage people to share. One of the good things that I found is that everyone at TAFE, including teachers are amazed with our projects. I ring the whole project to Brisbane with all our comments and share during the past few years.

This promote me to fast track 2 units of design, because i have already did a project and design contribution.

I intend to post many at our blog and make it a little more active, only i need your contribution too.

Just post your recent activities, ideas and keep on touch.

I will attach a zip file link of my web design to the blog in case anyone want to take a look. Just unzip the file and inside you will find many files, just point to the index.html file and double click it that should open the site for you, if you have any problem just post it on the blog.

I still wish to see more of your last projects, at least let me share one of these days with you again, hope that our dreams will continue soon with fresh new Designs.

amended panels layout

Hi everyone,

Here are a few changes to the order of the panels, in order to avoid having two in a row etc. Magdy your sizes are all the same, Wanda and I have swapped one. Hopefully this will be right to go now!!

a night in the crib room

Had a really productive night in the crib room, no cane being cut due to rain, a whole night to fill in, and voila!

a seed of an idea

Finally something is forming for me. . . have attached some diagrams.

I'm thinking of the country show, the displays of fruit and veges, great mosiacs of grains, sorghum heads, corn cobs, sunflowers etc that farmers would display with pride (out west where I grew up), all the home-grown produce on show, presenting your best pikelets or floral arrangements in a saucer (to win a certificate), young men with their beloved prize bulls, gaudy poultry in all its fluffy spendour . . .

And the sideshows, sticky, loud, tacky, expensive, thrilling, and gone, a mysterious nomadic subculture as you put so well Wanda.

I might go out the the Finch Hatton Show next Sunday and collect some rubbish to use for collage . . I don't finish work till its over but that could be just fine, sifting through the remains of the show.

I am thinking of putting a perspex disc into each panel that can be spun around by a knob on the front, and radiating images branching out from its centre. Still very much draft form but its a start, what do you think? I could leave some unfinished around the outer edges if anyone else would like to contribute to them.

carousel images

So many beautiful carousels, such works of craftsmanship. I think it is the gentle rhythm of them that makes them so appealing too, a gentle horse ride, all the delights without the dangers, going somewhere but not really, coming back to the same place again, waving as you go past again and again!

panels - random or layered?

Hi artmakers,

Our current model has our individual panels scattered randomly in each panel. Another option is to layer them, like sedimentary rock, for example, Madgy's are all along the bottom, Wanda's in the middle and mine along the top (or any other combination), then it would give more continuity of our styles, like a narrative, but still a bit higgeldy piggeldy, as the tops and bottoms won't quite align, like merry-go-round horses going up and down. What do you think? Or do you prefer them random?

Adventures in New Media Art Course Two

Last night at the workshop we learnt how to use a program called pd. This I found a bit easier to get my head around than arduino...I used it to create a video mixer) no sound unfortunately)...

today we learn how to interface pd with arduino...

I am recording everything again, so you guys can still attend virtually down the track...

brain too wired to sleep post workshop....

All lights are out so am using the thermal imaging on the computer...

groovy timber

and the timber grooves for the perspex have been beautifully cut by cabinetmaker Alan Hughes.

Do you want to keep the timber natural or paint it? I've got Tues/Wed/Thurs off next week if anyone is interested in coming over to help put the panels together - the perspex will be here by then and all the

screws etc are here and ready to go. Thursday night next week (9th June) is looking like our gathering date . .?
