Story telling script¶
My sketches for the story telling session tell a story about my concept and lead to the final outcome in..
- scene 1 the scene opens with a room full of flowers
- scene 2 we zoom into the lady wearing a plant based dress
- scene 3 she comes out from behind the plants
- scene 4 ... whats next?
A good exaple of story telling sketches are from ...Florencia Moyano https://class.textile-academy.org/2022/florencia-moyano/finalproject/prefinal03/

footnote fabrication files
Fabrication files are a necessary element for evaluation. You can add the fabrication files at the bottom of the page and simply link them as a footnote. This was your work stays organised and files will be all together at the bottom of the page. Footnotes are created using [ ^ 1 ] (without spaces, and referenced as you see at the last chapter of this page) You can reference the fabrication files to multiple places on your page as you see for footnote nr. 2 also present in the Gallery.
Code Example¶
Use the three backticks to separate code.
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
