We were asked to create a a multi-touch interactive application based on different stories from H.P. Loftcraft. Our story: The Dunwich Horror Our Solution: an interactive digital book, that consists on the original story by H.P. Loftcraft, divided in 10 chapters. Each of this chapters contains an interactive puzzle, that the user has to solve with help from the original story. The objective is to solve all the puzzles in order to open a secret chapter or passage, that takes the story to a complete different level. http://www.iamanamendez.com/Photography http://www.iamanamendez.com/following/iamanamendez.com/Photography Wed, 18 Aug 2010 08:24:40 +0000 Ana Mendez 575804 PHOTOGRAPHY This are some of the photos I've taken, both in analog and digital format.

After doing some research I found a strong representation of Aretha Franklin, a picture of her wearing a huge hat with a bow. I found this to be an unusual but recognizable way of portraying her. My final result was this poster, which uses a combination of elements that will appeal her audience.

This tests are basically used to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning, and by creating this board I am leaving it to the user to interpret the image on it. http://www.iamanamendez.com/TreeType http://www.iamanamendez.com/following/iamanamendez.com/TreeType Wed, 18 Aug 2010 06:49:19 +0000 Ana Mendez 575687 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45488/575687/TreeType.jpg" width="600" height="600" width_o="600" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/45488/575687/TreeType_o.jpg" data-mid="2649038" border="0" align="left"/> TreeTypeDecember 2009 Role: Graphic design The brief for this project was to create a Calligram, which is a poem, phrase, or word in which the typeface, calligraphy or handwriting is arranged in a way that creates a visual image. My solution was to use one of my photos and recreated by using only typography. The photo I decided to use was a top view of a tree, taken with a Fish Eye. I thought this picture was an interesting view of something we see every day.

I chose to do this about Shark Finning. And based on this idea I decided to show the information from a diver's point of view towards the surface. It was a conceptual way of seeing this problem. The mood and style I went with was dark and mysterious, because there is sort of a mystery to everything that lives under water, but it is also beautiful, so I wanted to keep this as clean as possible.

After doing some exercises in class, I was able to put together different interaction experiences to create a small world where the beat of the music creates a different pattern each time you play it. The colors in the sky are also determined by the weather in Vancouver, for example, if it's below 5 degrees Celsius the color palette are different shades of blue, but as it gets hotter it changes. http://www.iamanamendez.com/Flash-It http://www.iamanamendez.com/following/iamanamendez.com/Flash-It Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:53:35 +0000 Ana Mendez 574752
