HW7_MOOD ANALYSER

For my mood analyzer, I decided that the mood in which the drawer is while drawing will be conveyed through the use of color, thickness and alpha. Observing previous gestures that we have studied, I realized the thickness of the stroke depends on the velocity in which the drawing is made, more than on the angle of the drawn line. So I decided to link the variables used in my drawing tool to different mood states:

If the bounding box is big---the drawer wants to get noticed---the line he is drawn will turn into a really thick line.

 

However, one can want to be noticed by drawing in an big canvas but drawing a lot (having a big total lenght). In that case, I made the thickness of the drawing be a bit smaller so that the lines in the drawing don´t get mixed with each other.

I linked the angle change to the red, so bigger angle change, more red. My thought was that if we draw having a bigger angle change, we are conveying how nervous we are...That's why in this case, the line gets a bit more red.

Here we have an example of a big angle change...It is yellow because I linked the time we spend drawing with the green (my thought was in nature people take it easy, take their time to do things). That's why eventhough one is nervous while drawing lines with a big angle change, there is a lot of green (and no blue) and lots of red so it is yellow. Since the bounding box is smaller, the thickness of the line is smaller too...

I have more drawings in other situations to get posted...I´ll be posting them after class....Donm´t wanna miss the train! more, coming really soooooooooon!
