Practice makes perfect!

A quick little experience ( I apologise for the filming!)
Using my mum as a Guinea Pig testing out my design!!



Bad quality and a bad example of processing in work. You can't really see from this video how the sketch works and what effect it creates. Hopefully this will be filmed in a better quality soon so you can get more of a effect of the look that is trying to be achieved.

My trainer designs

The original Nike Jumpman trainer I am going to adapt for the fictional range, "Magic":
 And my first attempt at adapting it for the project (a very quick edit):



My possible Background?

  

And a go at "decorating" the background:

My Jumpman logo attempts!!!

I am trying to edit the Jumpman logo to fit in with my idea of "Magic".

Here are my first few attempts:



and one of my final ideas:




getting there!!

But we want to change the background?

Background Image.

This example presents the fastest way to load a background image into Processing. To load an image as the background, it must be the same width and height as the program.
PImage bg;
int a; 

void setup() 
{
  size(200,200);
  frameRate(30);
  // The background image must be the same size as the parameters
  // into the size() method. In this program, the size of "milan_rubbish.jpg"
  // is 200 x 200 pixels.
  bg = loadImage("milan_rubbish.jpg");
}

void draw() 
{
  background(bg);

  a = (a + 1)%(width+32);
  stroke(226, 204, 0);
  line(0, a, width, a-26);
  line(0, a-6, width, a-32)}

Looking closer into the Jumpman styling...








Jumpman Styling...

Here's the Jump Man:





and here is his logo:








And another image:





And as shown before here is his website:



And a selection of trainers:








Very trendy!!
All I need to do now in connect this style to my installation. I want to capture the essence of the Jumpman range, but make my own fictional range called Jumpman "Magic". I will design my own Jumpman "Magic" trainer from the existing designs to use within my advertisement. I will then combine my design with the particle idea in processing.
I will then have a last look at Monster Media to see exactly what makes their advertisements so successful (i.e layout, use of images and fonts, etc).
I will then combine all of this elements to create a hopefully successful shopfront interactive advertisement installation!
