For my MAKE assignment today I came up with a “Creativity Meter”. It is an interactive art piece in which the shapes located at the cursor become increasingly erratic and random the longer the mouse is pressed. The bar at the top also fills up and starts shaking to match the increasing erratic movement of the shapes as well as the background darkening. When the mouse button is released, all of the effects previously listed gradually revert to their initial “calm and collected” state.
This was inspired by the concepts of lateral thinking that we heard about, in which we would let the chaos of our minds run wild by suspending judgment of our ideas. The higher the “Creativity Meter” rises, the more erratic the forms become, which symbolizes our ideas.
