Post-It Pixel Parlance Workshop

In workshop week I took part in a group task which consisted of creating the words 'work' and 'play' by using marker pens to fill in the post it notes in order to create a word on a board. The process helped me work as part of a team with people who I hadn't met before.



The word 'work' was constructed on the board first, and photos where taken each time another post it note was added to the board. This would a allow a time laps to be created of the process. Once the word was on the board, we then slowly started to make the transformation from 'work' to 'play'.

The transformation consisted of different coloured post it notes being added and the other word slowly becoming more visible. Overall I think the main task went well, however in hind sight I may have gone about the transition in a different way. Also there are people visible in some of the photos which in my opinion takes away from the still motion video effects. 


A small group of us decided to create a second post it note design, however this time instead of using words we created the classic game 'Snake'. We used the same process of taking photos after each post it note had been added and slowly made the snake bigger as it ate the food. The result of this was good. We concluded the game with a flashing game over after the snake had died.
