Am I the only one who did somethin? Where's yo sub-mishunz?
- i have to watch the movie first :)sted
- Well i didnt watch it. I'm not that dedicated
:PBennn - You don't have to do it the same day.i_monk
- submissions due next week dude. don't rush me! hahahacapn_ron

- you were too fastmonospaced
- Shush! I'm not even off work yet.pango
- Leeeeeeroy Jenkins!ORAZAL
- Monday/Tuesday are submission days.fadein11

My (quick effort) below - click on the link to view animated/interactive 'piece':
http://qbnassignments.000webhost…- didn't have time to make it work on mobile unfort.fadein11
- if any one knows a really quick way of making swipes do what the mouse does here I would like to add?fadein11
- need to find a new home for these experiments - the free hosting is as shit as expected - only loads occasionally.fadein11
- Make an animated gif?monospaced
- eh? it's not an animated Gif - try clicking on the link.fadein11
- wow downvoted from 4 to 2 - thanks guys.fadein11
- and up again ha - weird.fadein11
- I meant you should make it one so it animates all the time.monospaced
- its desktop only - move your mouse and it moves - playing with parallax and CSS blend modes - not v.conceptual I agree but like this thread as it will make mefadein11
- try things I don't often do in commercial projects. And hopefully feed through.fadein11
- I like the way you navigate the layers via mouse - it would be very dull as a GIF. but thanks for feedback.fadein11
- Oh god - that sounded really snotty of me - wasnt meant to at all...fadein11
- I was not downplaying your concept, I was just suggesting one possible way of showing movement when that parallax effect isn't possible.monospaced
- ah indeed - I think I may continue with this format on next one so will make it mobile friendly - don't think it's hard just was a bit rushed this weekfadein11
- I clicked and everything worked great. It's a great effect and brought the whole thing to life. Very cool.CyBrainX
- It'a always interesting to see people get this much out of CSS. I wonder why we don't see more of this on the web.CyBrainX

Benn, isn't it RASHOMON ?
- I believe so.fadein11
- http://www.qbn.com/r…
Leeroy Jenkins!ORAZAL - lol, fuck that :DBennn
- Bennn thought this was the actual topic:

:DORAZAL - hahaBennn
- lol @ Leeroypango

Maybe picking Rashomon wasn't a brilliant theme straight out of the gates. How many people do you think lost interest because they had no idea what Rashomon was (like me )?
If I had more time than this critique I would have taken a stab at... maybe work on something as I watch the movie - kind of a necessary thing to do if you want your idea to have any kind of RELEVANCY to the fact that the exercise is about the movie. But then I read that the Assignment is not about the movie, so maybe it's about the Rashomon effect which is based off the movie. And we can "do whatever we want".
Last time I checked...
We're designers. We require limits. Limits create challenges. They create a problem to be solved. Without limits, constraints, challenges, you're basically asking for a bunch of artsy-fartsy bullshit. </mic-drop>
- hmm yeahmonospaced
- my limit being was busy doing real work so was a quick experiment - I was going to treat this like nutters 10 minute exercises as just won't have any more thanfadein11
- around an hour on it. Anyway it's only Tuesday got a whole day to see if anytone else bothers.fadein11
- There are no late fees.ORAZAL
- I certainly won't be interested if its more rigid briefs - have enough of that in my dayjob.fadein11
- I just didn't have time. I even downloaded the movie to watch it, but like I said a week isn't enough time.i_monk
- ^ I don't think the aim is to create a masterpiece... perhaps try some new techniques, experiment. well thats what I'm going to do anyway.fadein11
- There's always wikipedia. I didn't know what it was until I checked.CyBrainX
- I didn't know either. I've never seen the movie. I'm limited by what I saw scanning wikipedia for a few minutes. It's not that big of a deal, really.monospaced
- If you didn't like Rachomon, you're going to love what someone proposed: "Society is dying".ORAZAL
- personally, I thought rashomon was really cool!monospaced

*picks up mic
I didn't ask for a specific topic within the movie because I wanted to see how everybody would approach this first assignment and I didn't want to limit the type of work we got. This being the first assignment so I thought it would be better to leave it open thinking I would get a better read of how everybody was approaching the project and make adjustments to how we work on it. Where did you get the idea that topic:Rashomon wasn't about the movie? There is an obvious parallel between the whole idea of the project and the movie. The idea is to work with more specific topics to better compare each other's approaches and we'll be doing that in the following weeks. Thanks to those that sent suggestions for topics.
You did have enough time, just other priorities. Bennn didn't know about the movie either but that stop him from making 3 proposal the same day.
*puts mic back on the stand out of courtesy for the next person

- Nah, I just think that this is a painful example of how little designers in general know about marketing.canoe
- No offense, I'm with my son until 2pm and then work until my brain shuts off. Hasn't been fun... looking forward to hearing the next idea nonetheless.canoe
- "how little designers in general know about marketing" what has this project got to do with marketing? I hope it has nothing to do with marketing.fadein11
- this isn't about marketing, canoe, and nobody here needs to hear all the reasons you don't or won't participate this roundmonospaced
- ORAZAL2
I think I think to offer a better explanation of my idea to some of you. This project was started as a more flexible alternative to projects like NTPhE. I asked for a quick turnaround to keep it dynamic and enjoyable. You can take a week, a month or a year to send your submissions, they will always be welcome. If the topic interests you enough to keep working on it you can send your future submissions as well. Participation is voluntary and there are no late fees. You can still take part of the discussion without submitting or just be a spectator. This is all done in the spirit of doing something creative as a community.
All feedback is appreciated.
There are 3 ideas I have for choosing the topic:
- Choose topic by vote (still waiting on topic ideas)
- The user with most votes chooses next topic
- I step in case of a deadlock (no submissions for example)- I think I'm a little lost at the flippant or not so flippant approach - why would I want to be part of a gallery that shows people...canoe
- experimenting, improving their PS filter skills, and the like, rather than cerebrally approaching the topic.canoe
- Sorry I'm so high maintenance... I'm just scratching my head. I know it "sounds" liberating to have an open project, maybe it's not for me.canoe
- don't be part of it then. would be nice to have a thread with little negativity on this site also.fadein11
- Do you know where you are son?canoe
- As long as yuknowhomon doesn't show up we should be fine.monospaced
- http://i.imgur.com/i…ORAZAL
- yeah yeah yeah ... but you know the second he shows up and starts sharing his "opinion" the whole thing falls apart, right?monospaced
- We've gone through the first round without any drama. Only you and fadein11 have brought personal feuds into the thread.ORAZAL
- This is why we can't have nice things.ORAZAL
- I started this so we could get away from all that bullshit and do something positive.ORAZAL
- Hey, I'm with you man. I want all that bullshit out of here too, and so far that trolling prick has kept away. Fingers crossed yuri doesn't get negative.monospaced

I want to be archive the works for later browsing. I have setup up a tumblr page for now. I still need to work on tweaking the theme.
http://qbn-assignments.tumblr.co…I have added a link to the qbn post and the user's qbn profile.
Let me know if you're OK with me posting your work there and if you want any modification on the info.- cool - mine will probably be mainly web experiments so if it can be clearer that the image isn't the piece that would be great thanks - perhaps link the imagefadein11
- to the full version.fadein11
- Yes. I'll make the image smaller too so the text is more visible up front.ORAZAL
- I'm fine with you posting mine there.Nutter
- Okay with me.monospaced
- I just updated with monospaced's latest entry.
I will assume future submissions are OK with being up there.ORAZAL
- d_gitale2
- interesting portrayal of the different perspectivesmonospaced
- Maaku2
Will be posting later on today/tonight

- fadein110
- @valentim's piece
Nicefadein11 - thanksvalentim
- What kind of bird is that? What does it symbolize? Why red circle? How does this work fit into the assignment?canoe
- ^ chill man - this onlging project will develop hopefully - we all had a quick go at this one which you didn't. Stop getting all CD on his ass.fadein11
- lol @ why red circle though. pmsl.fadein11
- fadein11, are you working on anything?monospaced
- He put together an experiment in black and whitecanoe
- ah yes of coursemonospaced
- the why red circle comment was directed at canoe - thought that was blatantly obvious.fadein11
- I dont know why the red circle. Should it be a be a blue star star instead?valentim
- @canoe, did you watch the movie?valentim
- you don't associate a solitary red circle with the japanese flag?monospaced
- So all movies from Japan should use the red dot... ya know, because Japan. facepalmcanoe
- all american movies includes the american flag at some point tho!valentim
- nobody said that canoe!monospaced

You should post the official new assigment in the FB group. I fear i'll miss them in this thread.
- it would splinter the discussion. better to keep it all hereGnash
- FB group?fadein11
- ^ exactlyGnash
- "Ain't nobody got time for that."
I knew it would be hard to keep track of assignments within the thread that's why I set up a document on the first post.ORAZAL - And that's also why I'm pushing the submissions to a tumblr gallery.ORAZAL
- OKAY THENBennn
- you don't have to get all, TABERNAC!
:)Gnash - lol ;)Bennn
- monospaced6
- nice!Bennn
- Nice details with the the "perspective" lines crossing at the Os and overlapping colors. I see what you did there.ORAZAL
- There we go, something conceptual!canoe
- do i have to have read the book or watched the movie to get it?pango
- possibly, yesmonospaced
- I don't like it.robthelad
- where's your submission robthelad?monospaced
- All discussion is welcome. Robthelad's opinion would have more weight if he could elaborate on it though.ORAZAL
- haha, it's worse... lolrobthelad
- I can tell you why I didn't like Catwoman although I've never made a movie in my life.ORAZAL
- I would love to hear his reasons for not liking this then. You're right, if I can judge a movie I paid for, he should be able to judge this.monospaced
- I saw it on streaming, you think I would pay to watch Catwoman?!ORAZAL
- You're also not a film maker.monospaced
- ;)
relax it's just a sketchmonospaced - Yeah, I 'm sorry guys, I was being silly. Seriously though, it feels like 2 concepts. the colour and triangles would work alone.robthelad
- the image behind doesn't seem integrated.robthelad
- Good catch. I actually had designed this to work without image but decided to add watanabe fighting a demon at the rajomon temple last min.monospaced
- I really like the triangles the more i add meaning :) 4 tri = 4 perspectives. the 5th tri made from the overlap = a truthrobthelad

I've set up two surveys for the assignment's deadline & topics. We can keep using the topics list the following weeks and remove the topics we have already chosen. You can suggest a new topic and I will add it to the list.
Topics: https://goo.gl/forms/acnSWapnwEv…
Deadline: https://goo.gl/forms/qqmh4kPFvQ9…You need to sign-in to vote. I am not collecting emails, I just want to limit it to one vote per person.
- "*This form was created inside of Orazal"...pango
- how the hell you have so much time?pango
- From my entrails.ORAZAL
- needs to be anonymous - completely - login not required.fadein11
- If you're afraid about Google tracking your moves send me your vote by email.ORAZAL
- nope more concerned about you tracking my moves after recent events haha.
I will post my vote in this thread if that is okay.fadein11 - not worried about Google ha - they know me already.fadein11
- What do you believe your eyes or my words?
http://imgur.com/a/E…ORAZAL - ah cool - was logged in so didnt see that messagefadein11
- ORAZAL is for the people, the people are not for ORAZAL.ORAZAL

The voting system on this may not work, not that I am going for the win - but early submissions just won't get votes if thread is set to newest posts which I always do. Thoughts anyone?
I am not going for the win here ha - not fussed but if voting it needs to be fair no?
- I AM NOT GOING FOR THE WIN OKAYfadein11
- not voting on the work. the votes are for the next topicGnash
- ^ nope Orazal said winning contributor chooses next topic.fadein11
- "The user with most votes chooses next topic"fadein11
- I said that would be one of the three options. Since you've showed a lot interest in this & are tied in votes w/ mono you get to choose the next topic.ORAZAL
- tied? I only have 2 votes, he has 4monospaced
- maaku is in with 3monospaced
- hehe - I really don't mind - and yes it was one of 3 options - I missed that - so you go with what you want.fadein11
