Theme:

Time

The theme this time is time. I made a live movement desktop wallpaper that looks like a time effect. And this wallpaper can be imported into the wallpaper engine software. Then I can give the observer a sense of the passage of time. That animation swirl is sometimes slow and sometimes fast, just like how people feel about time.

Method:

I used the liquid tool in Procreate software to animate the passage of time. At first, I used the traditional frame-by-frame drawing of a single image. Later, I found that the effect was not very good, and the picture was very unsmooth. So later I used screen recording to record the process of liquefaction of the image, and finally processed the video through adobe Pr, and finally uploaded it to the wallpaper engine.

Context:

I went through the triangular brainstorm and came up with the idea of a computer desktop live wallpaper of play. Many works of live wallpapers are still dynamic pictures, such as waters that are constantly shining with sunlight, plants that loop and shake and people who blink from time to time. When I don't know what to do or when I'm bored, I stare at the live wallpaper and watch it loop some animations. It's one of my ways of entertaining plays method for me.

Reflection:

I hope that the end of the animation can be connected to the beginning to form a permanent loop, which can better reflect the feeling of time. At this stage, the beginning and end of this animation are not perfectly connected. There will be noticeable changes at the beginning and end. On the other hand, if I can implement the same effects with p5js code, then I can adjust the colour movement speed and have a higher-definition vector image. So I hope to implement this live wallpaper with p5js in the future.
