Final Project Prototypes

Posted by Cecilia Knaub (she/her) on

Hi everyone! Congratulations on a successful showcase yesterday. It was great to see the progress you all made on your projects after hearing about them all semester. A bunch of us were talking about wanting to see the final prototypes, so I wanted to kick off a thread for sharing those.

Listing Vintage Fashion

I would also love to hear about future iterations of these prototypes, so please keep us in-the-loop about those.

Have a safe and healthy summer! I hope to see you all around the GC.

Best,

Cecilia

Project Description

Posted by Cecilia Knaub (she/her) on

What your final deliverable will be

My final project will be a visual essay. I want to feature direct language from the listings, written analysis of the language used, and charts to illustrate trends.

Your (tentative) timeline

What tools you need (things you need to learn, open questions to be resolved, critical decisions you need to make).

The project will require a few tools. The final essay will be developed using simple web development technologies such as HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I intend to build the site myself as a continuation of my coding practice from the Creative Coding class last semester. I’ll use Python to gather the text from eBay listings. I’m still considering options for textual analysis. Python has several tools for textual analysis, including the NLTK library. There are also a number of no code solutions, including Voyant.
