Theme： In response to this week, I designed a desktop wallpaper. I related the weather, farming and fishing. When I played the Animal Crossing, I learned about many kinds of insects and fish. So I wanted to make a wallpaper that would be popular for the fruit and vegetable growing season.

Method: The wallpaper changes according to the actual weather. When it rains in the real world, it rains in the wallpaper. In the real world, it's so hot that the vegetables that are afraid of the heat will burn. The fruits and vegetables that can be grown vary according to the season. And we can catch different kinds of fish in different seasons. Wallpaper provides 4 grids. Players can modify the ground according to their preferences. Players can expand their farming area or leave only fishing area.

Context ： I found something similar in the Steam Wallpaper Engine. There is a little game about skipping rope. And a building game. You can choose the size of the planet. And can build land and lakes and trees on the planet. Also found a wallpaper called Desktop Farm. Because I don't want the whole desktop to be about farming. So I only designed four floors. And, I hope my work can let people learn how the planting season and weather affect crops.

Reflection ：I really want to make this wallpaper. However, due to the limited technology, it only stays in the design stage. This motivated me to teach myself how to program.

Theme： I wonder what I can do with the time I spend waiting in front of the restaurant in response to this week's theme. At popular restaurants, it is common for people to line up at the door because there are so many customers. For fear of missing their numbers, customers sit bored and wait at the door of the restaurant. Some restaurants offer snacks to waiting customers. Even a Rubik's cube. All because of the fear of losing customers as they get bored while waiting. So I imagine waiting customers can participate in a multiplayer game together to solve the boring waiting problem.

Method: Customers can enter the web page to join the multiplayer game by scanning the QR code on the table, or the QR code on the receipt. Merchants can choose from different multiplayer games.

Context ： My favorite game here is the multiplayer game Tetris.  This game is similar to Tricky Towers.  A game takes about 1-3 minutes.  The classic mode of this game is to compete who builds the highest in a limited time.  While waiting, the more seats a guest wins, the more vouchers they get for the restaurant.  It allows guests to earn vouchers while waiting and enjoy lower prices to eat at this restaurant.

advantage： 1. Help guests eliminate boredom while waiting. 2. Help hotels keep customers who don't want to wait too long. And help the hotel remove some of the guests' negative emotions. 3. Social. Because the guests are playing the game together. It might increase your chances of socializing. 4. Help the game designer promote his game.

Theme： In response to the theme of "play and time" I made a time loop animation exercise. It occurred to me that man had created the concept of time and invented clocks to measure the changes of time. What we can perceive is the alternation of day and night and season. So I made a circular animation with alternating day and night.

Method： Due to the need for a smooth color change. So for this animation I drew all the graphics in AE. Then I made the position changes of these figures, and finally made the color changes. When making the animation, I need to follow the motion of the animation, so a lot of details are added in the end. For example, the start time of the facial expression and the sphere movement is different, which adds some sense of volume to the sphere instead of making a single sway motion like a piece of paper.And changes in the size of the shadow...

Context Animator Nata Metlukh's GIF gave me some inspiration. In particular, the process of fruit growth and human growth are combined with GIF. The first fruit that grows is a baby's head. Turn it around to become an adult head and then finally to the old man's head. At last the fruit ripened and fell and grew new fruit. At the beginning of this topic, I thought of the artist Nele Azevedo who made thousands of ice cubes and placed them in the center of the city. The ice began to melt within half an hour, symbolizing the passing of life. So there are some other ideals: Candles were carved into human bodies and then made a life-burning time-lapse photograph. But since I wanted to take advantage of the time cycle and the candle needs an external force (fire) to burn. So I redid what I'm doing now.

Reflection ：After animation, I want to try more hand-drawn animation. Pursue more transitions in shape.
