Displaystand for AER

AER is a company started by 4 guys in their 3th year of Creative technology. They came up with this throwable device to shoot areal footage. See their kickstarter

.

AER wants to bring their product on the market in may and decided that they needed a display stand to promote their product. They asked us to design such a device. It had to be in the style of AER, should be interactive and should draw more attention than other display stands.

Management Band

SolarFlare

From oktober 2009 till oktober 2005 did I participate in a band.

Something what started as an occasional band to play at the talentshow of "Het Openbaar Lyceum Zeist". Grew to my biggest passion and most time consumer of the following 6 years.

As the band startet to make their own songs and had an repetoire of at least 20 minutes. We decided it was time to perform. But how do you get gigs?

This was the main question what gained the attention of the 13 year old me. I decided that we needed a band mail with professional attitude and linked to all of our own accounts. Besides that we needed a website. It was not needed to be to complicated, just some contact details and some promo material would be enough.

I asked a friend if he would be able to make this website for us, and with him we lounched our first site.

Because my fellow bandmembers were really positive about me sorting out this kind of stuff we decided that I would forfill the task as manager.

This included:

Maintain contact with the site guy.
Write Gigs and maintain warm contacts
To make sure we had transport to get to the gigs.

Hi guys, On this slide I'll keep you updated about my learning progress and other things I encounter!

Progress study Creative Technology

28-9-2016

As most of you guys probably know am I following the first module of Creative Technology: the course "We create identity". The more time passing by the more my knowledge on several subjects increases:

Programming: The kick-start how to program. Every lecture you learn new task in the program Processing. At first you could only make some shapes but as time passes by the shapes start to move change color while interacting with the user and shapes that follow the mouse coordinates.you learn about loops and reduce your code to a small amount of phrases. After this you learn how to make classes and copy things but with different values for the variables.

Web Technology: As you can see is there a weekly progress as well. What started from a blanc page with some letters saying "hello world", quickly changed to a selfmade design in HTML with 3 textblogs and a header. The next step was an external stylesheet, which made it possible to launch my second page: portfolio. Besides the page portfolio there now was a external blog in wordpress aswel. As it was not possible to use the stylesheet for my wordpress website I desided I had to let go of wordpress and also write my blog in HTML. As my stylesheet was not developed for a blog page, I desided I had to eighter design a new one or just download a template and make it my own. The second option is what happened and this is where we are now. The part of this subject what I like the most is the fact that every thing you learn is immediately usable for your own website.

Introduction to computer science and engineering: In this course you learn about how to use algorithms, why you use them and which ones are the most suitable in which situation. This subject is quite hard in my opinion. At every beginning of the lesson you have no idea where to start to build your algorithm but because you keep trying and disscuss with your group. At the end of the lecture your algorithm works and you can get your man through the maze or make a calculator or let the computer figure out what the highest number in a serie of numbers is.

Visual communication: This subject is all about layout, about style. You learn visual psychology. How do you get the optimal message from your pictures? How do you create a piece of text which gives the reader a pleasant time to read through. In the first lesson we learned how people had different ideas by the same picture and learned that it is importand to think about which pictures you chose. The second lesson was all about fonts. What different type there were and that most of them ar not perfect. They lag on certain letters and it is important to chose a fond which makes it easy to read. Lesson three was all about the combination of both a picture and a font. But also the word you put with it. A word and the way and where it is writen can totaly change the feeling you get by seeing the picture.

End Exhibition

4-11-2016

Hi guys on thursday the 3th we had our end exhibition to finish module one. 'We create identity'. This exhibition was in the SmartXP from 14:00 - 17:00 and was mostly about the interactive video project. to watch mine, have a look at my portfolio page. The video is about a guy who got kidnapped because he accepted a friend request from a unknown person. He ends up tied up in a room of a horrifying building. As he escapes he discovers a sequirity cam on which he sees a girl tied up aswel. While trying to find the way out he attracts the attention of the kidnapper and has to run for his life. How it all ends is a suprise. Besides the movies there was also a possibility to show your other work. As my programming assignment is not found finished yet I chose to keep it by just showing the video.

Update layout and a new page!

28-9-2016

Hi guys, some new progress on my website. As you can see on https://portfolio.cr.utwente.nl/student/boschktd/portfolio.html I updated the site with a complete new layout. Besides that there is now a portfoliopage where you can find all my previous projects and experiences! Click here to read it!

Gogbot

15-9-2016

In the weekend of 9 september, i visited the Gogbot festival. I've seen a lot of amazing project, off which my absolute favorite the virtual reallity zombie attack room. The project I didn't really like was the army truc. It looked quite nice but the sound was so loud. You could not enjoy the other projects anymore.

Web development

15-9-2016

In the past two weeks I have developed myself ,from a guy whithout any knowledge about building websites, to someone who is atleast capable of launching a decent website written in HTML.

Peer review

19-10-2016

Recently I made a peer review on the site of Jesper Provost. Click here to view the site! My review in short: Big shoutout to the design. Kept it very simple and clear but a professional look. There are some thinks which could be more clear on how the site is furnished. Then there are a few buttons, which don't work. Probably just because they have been forgotten to be equiped with a valid link. And last, it would be easier to go back to the site if there would open a new tab when clicked on the link to the linked in page.

New item in "portfolio"!

5-10-2016

Hi guys, I published a new item in my tab portfolio. It is about a highschool project from 4 years ago. Unfortunately the project is in Dutch. But as I'm only going to keep it on my site only temorary it is not worth to be translated. But have a look. You can directly go to the project if you click here

New personal touch!

5-10-21016

As you can see I personalised my site. I changed all the pictures to ones I took personally. Besides that did I change the color scheme from red to blue. I hope you guys like it!
