It is done (enough)!

I would hype it up more but this is really really simple. It randomly generates a set of symbols, colors, and a word, and then the expected thing to do with those is you draw some sort of character based off the result you get. So it's just an art challenge toy thingy.

There are also some practical features like you can lock parts of the result in place to rerandomize the rest, or hide parts of the generation you don't care about (like if you want to pick your own colors or hate the words being there)

You can try it out over on itch.io!

It should run in browser, but there's also a downloadable version for Windows if you want to use it offline. (No mac/linux versions for now, because I don't have appropriate computers to test those on and I...don't want to deal with mac's developer accounts or whatever their problem is...)

Here's something I made from one of the results I got for the sake of example:

(It's a bit of a rushed drawing sorry I just wanted to get the actual generator out there)

I hope everyone has fun with it :]

Apple's iPhone 17 Air Faces Design Challenges Amid Battery Development Issues

Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 17 Air may not achieve the previously speculated slimness. Reports indicate that the company has encountered obstacles in developing a high-density battery essential for maintaining a sleek design. The production of the advanced battery has proven costly, with a notable scarcity of defect-free units. Consequently, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to exceed 7mm in…

CTS B | Week 11. Compulsory Question 1.

In Week 11, the class and I delved deeper into the manifesto topic and were able to create our own manifesto in group work (Figure 1). At the beginning of our work, we thought for a long time about how to show the transformational path of a designer and the importance of landmarks at each stage, which allow us to build on them and grow at the same time. Based on this, we decided to create a board game as the embodiment of the idea that every path is a game, and in order to reach the end, we need not only motivation, but also reference points in the form of manifestos that help the designer feel confident in his movement, and at the same time become an incentive for growth and development.

In my version of the manifesto, I interpreted it as a roller coaster, since this image is more similar to my path in design. (Figure 2) I visited both the top of the slide and its bottom, from where I slowly climbed with great effort to my goals. Each stage was difficult and interesting in its own way. Career as a designer is not a linear path, but a dynamic adventure full of unexpected twists and exciting moments that sometimes look scary, but when you overcome them, they no longer look so extreme. She reminds me of the importance of staying resilient and enthusiastic even in the most difficult times, because every descent is invariably followed by a new ascent, opening up new opportunities for creative and professional growth.

For example, in the first semester of study in the subject “Studio”, working in pairs became a real challenge for me. I have always worked only on a freelance basis. However, the new experience of working together on branding for the festival turned out to be not only difficult, but also incredibly valuable for me. I had to learn not only to balance my ideas with my partner's opinion, but also to adapt to the dynamics of group work. This required the rapid development of communication skills (Figure 3), the ability to listen and find compromises, which undoubtedly became a significant test and also a point of growth (Figure 4).

To summarize, I would like to turn to the thought: "So, as we embark on this journey through the power of "yes" in design, let us remember that it's not just about saying "yes" to ideas; it's about saying "yes" to transformation." This phrase perfectly captures the essence of our manifesto and my personal experience in design and training. By saying yes to new ideas, challenges and opportunities, we open the door to transform not only our work, but also ourselves as professionals with the help of new learned skills. (Figure 5)

Persian Miku!?

In traditional Mazani clothing from persia!  

More info⬇️⬇️

Mazandaran province  is one of the 31 provinces of Iran. Its capital is the city of Sari . Located along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea and in the adjacent Central Alborz mountain range.Mazandaran is a major producer of farmed fish, and aquaculture provides an important economic addition to traditional dominance of agriculture. Another important contributor to the economy is the tourism industry, as people from all of Iran enjoy visiting the area.

Language: The population is overwhelmingly Mazandarani, with a minority of Gilaks, Azerbaijanis, Kurds, Georgians, Armenians, Circassians, Turkmen  and others, Mazandarani people have a background in Tabari ethnicity and speak Mazandarni.

Culture( literature) : In the Persian epic, Shahnameh, Mazandaran is mentioned in two different sections. The first mention is implicit, when Fereydun sets its capital in a city called Tamishe near Amol:

بیاراست گیتی بسان بهشت.................... به جای گیا سرو گلبن بکشت

از آمل گذر سوی تمیشه کرد .............. نشست اندر آن نامور بیشه کرد

And when Manuchehr is returning to Fereydun's capital, Tamisheh in Mazandaran (known as Tabarestan), after his victory over Salm and Tur.

Arash the Archer  is a heroic archer-figure of Iranian mythology. According to Iranian folklore, the boundary between Iran and Turan was set by an arrow launched by Arash, after he put his own life in the arrow's launch. The arrow was traveling for days before finally landing on the other side of the Oxus on the bark of a walnut tree hundreds of miles away from the original launch site atop a mountain

Music and dance:

Music in this region relates to the lifestyle of the inhabitants, and the melodies revolve around issues such as the forests, cultivation or farming activities and herding. The most famous dance of this area is the Shomali dance, not forgetting the stick dance that the men perform. Popular music in the province, known as the Taleb and Zohre, Amiri Khani and Katuli.

Cuisine :

The cuisine of the province is very rich in seafood due to its location by the Caspian Sea, and rice is present in virtually every meal. Mazandarani cuisine is diverse between regions; the cuisine of coastal regions is different from mountainous regions, as people in the Alborz usually use the indigenous herbs and coastal people use the dishes of fish and Caspian Mazandaran rice with vegetables.
