What Are The Chances.
My results to following the instructions in Tane's Project.
Tane's project required that I make a couple of choices: one choose a medium in which get the data from, in my case I chose Pandora, since I didn't have my Mp3 player with me. Second, choose a medium in which to present the results. I chose Illustrator, since we're learning about that right now and the practice is welcome.
A word on Pandora. After skipping through the songs several times, Pandora makes you start a whole new radio station. I had to do this three times. Every time I chose to start a radio station, I used the last artist as a starting point.
Tane's Project instructions:
1 - Choose a medium (I chose Sharpie on paper)
2 - Create a 9 box by 9 box grid
3 - Put music player of choice on shuffle (if you don't have a suitable music player, either create a Pandora or
use the radio)
4 - The first and last letter of the band name (ignore "The") corresponds with a box on the grid. Letters =
numbers based on alphabet sequence (a=1, b=2, and so on) For double digit letter/numbers add the 2 digits
together (m=13, 1+3=4). First number is horizontal, second number is vertical.
5 - Number of words in the song title denote shape (see key below)
6 - Number of letters in the last word of the song title denote color (see key)
5a/6a - If any double digits occur add them together
7 - Use only as many songs as your age. If using the radio, use all songs between one commercial break. If
using Pandora, use all your skips.
Note: if using your own music you may end up with the same box in the grid being used multiple times. This is
ok. You can either make shapes not fill up the entire box or you can just overlap shapes. Toss a coin to decide
which you do: heads for smalled shapes, tails for overlapping shapes.
Key:
1 - triangle/silver (or grey)
2 - square/black
3 - circle/red
4 - star/blue
5 - cresent moon/green
6 - arrow/purple
7 - spiral/orange
8 - dot/yellow
9 - zigzag/brown
Note: I didn't use chance to decide which color/shape was which number, I just randomly assigned them...
