Bad Guys: Group Game #2 Hansel and Gretel

The idea for our second game is based on a German fairytale. The game begins in a maze where Hansel has to figure out a path to save his sister Gretel before the timer runs out (30 seconds). On his…

Bad Guys: Group Game #2 Particles

For my next game I wanted to capture a simple particle aesthetic. The three pictures capture the way I want my game to look. So the basic idea of this game is that there is a screen full of particles….

Mapping the Invisible: Self Portrait Postmortem — A Map of Love Creek

Mapping the Invisible: Self-Portrait — The Self as an Idea

Mapping the Invisible: Self-Portrait Draft #2 — A Map of Emotional Movement

In this second draft of my self-portrait, I wanted to continue with the idea that the two places I have lived (New York and New Jersey) have had different (but equal) influences on me. However, with the help of crit…

While conceptualizing my second iteration of my map, I chose to focus on the way in which idea/memories are filtered, curated, and relegated into the projecting ones decisions into the future. The way in which, one reflects or applies hindsight…
