Final Project
I’ve been continuing to post weekly and archive my process on the Tumblr I created, Votobooth.us. Feel free to jump over there to see what I’ve been working on, but I’ll also post an update here, as I’ve been pretty remiss about that.
As the semester draws to a close, it seems only fitting to write any concluding thoughts on this project and endeavors in this semester as a whole.
When I initially set out, I wanted to create a web-based application that uses your webcam feed to transpose your face onto various presidential candidates. The application would automatically take photos, sending them to a Tumblr, where they would be posted for easy sharing and viewing. While that final product didn’t is yet to materialize, I did glean a much deeper insight into the various elements that go into creating such a project and the tools I need moving forward.
Like my professor Lauren McCarthy said, “It’s not that it’s late, it’s four years early.” So with that timeframe in mind, this is something I might pursue further down the road.
That being said, I’ve learned a lot of *really* cool things and have created some interesting items, as well that I have been archiving here in lieu of that fancy final product. It’s a little messy, and not everything is tied up in a clean little package, but I think it stands as a useful collection of resources and thoughts, nicely compiled all in one place.
