A Fly Flies By
Typography Project
Typography Project
Using a programming application named Processing, I have created a simple typography project.
I have put the dots/particles, shown in the images, into context. When looking at the particles move, one can come to realize that those dots are in fact black flies swarming around the screen. I added an image for a background which puts the flies into a visual context. I then attached an image of a fly to the particles which basically animates the project as a whole, giving the impression that there are more textures in use than in reality. Lastly, I added a buzzing sound to the project, completing the overall feel of the black flies. I then needed to put the text into context as well, so I inserted a few excerpts of a children's poem I had found online.
A fly flies by, quicker than the eye!
On two thin wings, it darts up high.
Those tiny wings can really fly!
Beating 200 times a second - oh, my!
The fly goes Buzz as it flaps in the air.
The Buzz you hear are the wings going by!
So if a fly ever catches your eye
Don't ask why it buzzes - you now know why!
