2.Publication draft #1

Pink paper for interview: Picture doesn’t look good. Maybe replace with illustration? Sizing could be explored more Consistent branding Cover page can be explorative? Complete footnotes

Publication contents:

(1) Research & Concept

Size: 210mm x 297mm / Paper: Reclaim Recycled

This publication serves as the "meat" of the project. It includes some excerpts from my dissertation such as the literature review and research objective, as well as the overall concept of the project.

(2) Interview

Size: 105mm x 297mm / Paper: Pink Copier Paper

This publication is a transcript of my interview with Sarah from Gerakan Indonesia Bebas Kantong Plastik back in December on the plastic pollution landscape in Indonesia.

(3) Catalogue of Making

Size: 210mm x 198mm / Paper: Munken Polar

This publication is a printed form of my catalogue of making. The content covers my experimentation with the tech and material studies from Semester 1 & 2, and the making of my 3 artefacts.

(4) Artefact Catalogue

Size: 95mm x 115mm / Paper: Munken Polar

This publication covers the details of the 3 artefacts such as its form, materiality and interactivity. The design is made to mimic sort of like a "lab report of creatures".

Improvements needed:

Title

Title is only on the Research & Concept publication which is the main publication, but when the publications are stacked together, title cannot be seen. Consider using the small space on the corner for the title or overlay the titles on the other covers.

Cover

How the covers for individual publications look as they are stacked together should also be considered (e.g. cover for the Interview publication looks awkward because only the "with" can be seen).

Numbering

Size: 210mm x 198mm / Paper: Munken Polar

This publication is a printed form of my catalogue of making. The content covers my experimentation with the tech and material studies from Semester 1 & 2, and the making of my 3 artefacts.

2. Experimenting with servo motor

Continuing explorations with servo motor. I was curious to see if the wire shapes have any effect on the movement of the sensor. This time, I also explored using 2 servo motors instead of one as it was the initial plan for the final artefact to have them.

How the servo motor moves under plastic material

I realized through this experiment that something important to keep in mind is that the material packaging the server motor have to be really thin and light for the motor to be able to move them.

Next, its time to try different wire shapes

Thoughts

Plastic movements

I really liked the movements made by the plastic when it is not stuck to the wire and is left with more room for random, unpredictable movements. The motion makes it seems a bit more life-like.
