Task 2
We are required to expand the design developed for the competition
by emerging the context with creative technology to express
"playfulness" at the heart of the experience.
Fig. Final submission for Task 1
I made a parallel website for this task, showing the whole process of
whale fall in stages. Make this website a popular science website. I
applied my elements in Task 1 to my website design.
Whale fall mainly goes through three stages.
- Phase 1: the mobile scavenger
- Phase 2: the enrichment opportunist stage, a swarm of invertebrates moves in
-
Phase 3: the sulphophlic stage, the bacteria feed on lipids
Project Expansion Rationale
Interactive action
- drag
- click
- hovering

This is the state of the whale on the sea before it sinks to the
bottom of the sea after death. Seagulls stay on the whale's body and
sunset. Sunset is near dusk, indicating the end of the day, just like
the whale's life has come to an end, but it is as vital as the sun and
can bring hope to other life.
Fig. Phase 1 illustration
The first stage is that when a whale dies, it will be eaten by fish,
sharks and so on. In this part, I try to make it less explicit and
cruel, but it doesn't express the relevant meaning.
Fig. Phase 2 illustration
The second stage is the further decomposition of the whale's body, so
what is left at this stage is more bone parts. So I turned the whale's
body into a translucent form, and then showed the bone part.
Fig. Phase 3 illustration
In the third phase, I try to make a warm and less realistic picture, so that the process of death can be presented with a more harmonious and peaceful feeling. The inspiration comes from the colors in Coco movies.
Just for fun

I apply some effects to my artwork to make it have a different feel
and style. I think this is a good attempt to present two different
effects with the same work. I think this is an unexpected gain.

FEEDBACK
Week 10
Can combine the two ideas of parallel website and the idea that put the whale into an aquarium, making the idea process of whale death more vivid and warm.

Week 12
The illustration of phase 3 can turn the direction of whale head, so when it falls to the bone will look more sense.

REFLECTION
Task 2 is more difficult for me in the conceptual part. Finally, I
decided to make an educational parallel website. Then I started to make
some simple GIFs to make the whole website more vivid and interesting. I
think the final result is what I want, but there is still a lot of room
for improvement, and more details and small surprises can be added. Task
2 time is limited this time. During this period, I try my best to
balance the time of each subject and ensure that each one can be
completed on time.
