MMP 100: Introduction to Multimedia
A collection of open teaching and learning materials curated by BMCC faculty
Title: Paraguayan Flag
Semester/Year: Spring 2022
Coding/programming languages: p5/JavaScript
I created this image in honor of Paraguay’s independence days. On May 14th and 15th, Independence Day is celebrated in Paraguay, as well as Mother’s Day. As Paraguayan, I wanted to make a small tribute to my country, drawing the flag in a more abstract but easy-to-understand way.
Title: My choose your own adventure
Semester/Year: Spring 2022
Coding language/software: HTML and CSS – Sublime Text
For my project, I decided to have the player go on a trip. On the page, every picture leads the player into a different scenario and they can start by deciding between going to Paris or New York. I would say that the most difficult part about the project was the entire project itself. I had never made anything similar before, nor coded in my life, so learning this from scratch was a good experience.
Title: Paranoia
Semester/Year: Spring 2022
Software: After Effects
I chose the word ”Paranoia” for this assignment. I chose the colors to be primarily black and white to create my desired effect, which is to be uncomfortable and annoyed as someone feels when under that emotion. I used multiple elements and overloaded my timeline to distract my audience’s eyes and try to replicate what a person feels when they are paranoid. The most challenging thing for me with this project was to animate the arms of the monsters. For this, I had to create my own images in illustrator and separate them into different layers so that later I could move the rotation of the arm and body of the monsters in after effects. This was a good exercise, and I would like to repeat it again in the future.
Title: A Day on The Life of a Nurse
Semester/Year: Spring 2022
Software: Audacity
My general idea was to create an atmosphere based on the story narrated by my protagonist. As my character told her story, multiple different sounds accompanied the narrative. My idea is that anyone who listens to this project can imagine the scenarios and situations differently according to the audience’s interpretation. Something like watching a movie with your eyes closed and having only the sounds as the reference and the rest being completed by the audience’s imagination. For this project, I have used various sounds from freesound.com and Bensound and the protagonist’s voice that I have recorded myself. I use reverb, delay, panning, and I have modified the gains multiple times throughout my mix. The hardest part was moving the pan from one side to the other because audacity doesn’t have the pan automation option, so I had to improvise a bit.

PART I: RASTER
Title: Dancing with dolphins
Semester/Year: Spring 2022
Software: Adobe Photoshop
My idea was to combine some images that have something to do with being underwater in the ocean, follow the lights, and mix the highlights and shadows of my main picture with the diver and the submarine. I tried to blend them all together as one.

PART II: VECTOR
Title: Noon in the campo
Semester/Year: Spring 2022
Software: Adobe Illustrator
What inspired me to create this image was my memories of my grandmother’s house up in the hills, and I wanted to recreate it to honor that beautiful place. I used different shapes and effects and added shadows to create something that is not too flat or plane.
