Ser Yeet's DMD E-portfolio

  Semester  B :  Week 20 Student:  Tai Ser Yeet (22064351) Programme:  BA (Hons)(SW) Digital Media Design WEEK 20 Class Notes In this YouTube video, Katty Kay talks with business leader Jane Wurwand about her "high touch" theory of AI and why she believes the roles that will thrive in the coming decades are those built around person-to-person connection. My Thoughts In a world where AI is rapidly taking over, human connection becomes ever more important.

I revisited my research on data visualisation, the art of representing information in a way that makes it easy to understand. In Valentina D'Efilippo's  work with Miriam Quick, they extracted  musical data from the song’s layered tracks and visualised it in a set of 10 engraved records. I like the way emotion was represented in this piece, through intertwined lines and the messiness of it all. Oftentimes, we don't really know what triggers a certain emotion when we hear ...

    Semester B:  Week 19 Student:  Tai Ser Yeet (22064351) Programme:  BA (Hons)(SW) Digital Media Design WEEK 19 Results on Lemon Project I got third place for the assignment and was gifted a lemon drizzle cake from Sainsbury's (thanks, Dean!). The prize for first place was a bag of lemons and a 200-pound Amazon gift voucher, which made my jaw drop. In hindsight, I would have posted more dance videos if I knew what the first-place prize was going to be, but oh well, you appreciate what you have and move on.  My Lemon Cake and I After Class I wanted to create a deboss text effect for the business card, which is essentially  the oppos...
