State of the art, project management and documentation

Welcome to my digital logbook. On these pages I will be documenting my entire learning process, including experimentation, trials, errors and satisfactory results, patience and above all, good humor.

1. Objective

weekly assignment
  1. Learn the process and tools used to document course work.

  2. Acquire the necessary skills to publish projects, documentation and share the results of each assignment.

  3. Acquire the necessary skills to resize, optimize and compress / zip images, videos and files.


2. References, research & inspiration

Throughout my life, I've always enjoyed researching processes, finishes, solving problems, and expressing my feelings. Thanks to my journey, I found Art and Design to be my nurturing force, allowing me to create, investigate, and express myself. Living in Ayacucho has also given me the artistic abilities to inspire me to keep going and never give up.

imagen In 2019, I watched a docuseries called Abstract, and one episode stuck with me: Neri Oxman - Bioarchitecture. At the time, I was studying Product Design and still figuring out what to do after graduation, but after watching this episode, I knew I wanted to create a product with a multidisciplinary team. I was fascinated by how Chemistry, Biology, Electronics, and Art could coexist and create together. Part of my vision is to be an Art Scientist. Michelangelo Buonarroti inspired me to create human figures with a quest for perfection, and Iris Van Herpen inspired me to make sculptural clothing. Creating with my hands keeps me from getting lost in the system when I'm making ceramic sculptures.

WEEK 01

This first week I would like to begin this new adventure in programming to create this digital log of my difficult process of understanding how to edit and program in Visual Studio (being a sculpture artist).


Inspiration of the week 1

Excited about this first week, I checked other students' digital logs and I liked these two: Betiana Pavon - FabLab Bcn, Hala Amer - FabLab Bcn

My inspiration

To get inspiration for the colors and order of my images, I took inspiration from my recently created brand called Saeta de fuego (Fire Arrow), using its typography and colors as a reference. imagen imagen



3. Tools

gitlab | version management and control |

[Gitbash] (https://git-scm.com/install/windows) |program download and installation |

Visual Studio Code | development environment and code |

Chatgpt | consultant and artificial intelligence |

[PowerPoint]/Canva and Block notes for design the organization or design

4. Process and workflow

The digital logbook "My digital log for Fabricademy begins in this space where I will start publishing my process of learning and understanding some programming skills like the ones I am using now to make this page. "

4.1 Step 1

In this first step, with the guidance of my instructor, I created accounts in GIT and Visual Studio, and then installed the latter program on my computer. my tiny collage about my process instaling those programs I think most of the installation was the easiest part my tiny collage about my process instaling those programs My first edition!!!! I felt very excited because it was the first time I'd created a website using code. my tiny collage about my process instaling those programs To decide what colors I wanted, I looked on a Pantone website to find the code for each color so I could reflect it in my logbook. my tiny collage about my process instaling those programs The process was a bit tedious and I made some mistakes along the way

4.2 Step 2

At this stage I started to change the appearance of my digital log and I asked AI for help because there was still data that I didn't understand very well, regarding the web programming. my tiny collage about my process instaling those programs In this part I ask the AI ​​to help me add links to my Instagram account my tiny collage about my process instaling those programs In this image you can see that I want to change the font and also learn about CSS code.

4.3 Step 3

Understanding the programming language better.

Headers

I understood that using a # you can make a title heading, when you do ## the title size is smaller, if it's ### it will decrease much more.

Paragraph

To differentiate one paragraph from another, you have to leave a blank space and you can also use the code
and ´/´ at the end.

Horizontal lines

If you write 3 dashes (---) or 3 (___) or 3 *** without spaces between them you get horizontal lines.

Bold, italic, and strikethrough

To make letters italic, you have to put them between asterisks. If you put a double asterisk before and after a word, it will be made bold, and with *** it will be: like this

Tables

To create a table, place straight lines before and after each category in the first row (to separate them), then press the space bar and enter to continue to the second row. *| inspiration | sketch | design | (| :--- | :--- | :--- |) The second line is what tells the editor "the above are titles and the below are the data." | Row 2 | row 2 | row 2 | example

To create a link, place the text in square brackets and then the link inside the parentheses. music to make you want to work

4.4 Step 4

As a final step, I save the changes I made, write a message about the change, and sync to publish it to the website. Sometimes you have to double refresh to see the changes. imagenes


5. Results

After trying to give it a pleasing appearance about four times, I was finally able to publish the latest version, which I think represents me. I also had to understand and research many things related to programming and publishing files like images and links, so now I present to you the result I achieved with a lot of work. imagen imagen imagen imagen


6. Weekly reflection & critical thinking

I learned that I shouldn't be afraid of programming; having virtual documentation is super important, but when you do it yourself, it acquires a special meaning and moves your creative mind out of its comfort zone.I was very surprised by how I could progress on two projects in parallel, the creative one and the coding one. It was quite a challenge for me, but I managed it thanks to my patience and the instructions in the GPT chat, which was done in "tell me like a child" mode.

If I could do something differently than I started, it would be to first diagram the images in Canva and then add annotations to each image. I think recording myself doing it would also help me remember better.

The most important thing in creating this digital blog is how my learning and creative process is progressively evolving into something demonstrative for future generations who want to learn as we are learning now, and I want to give my best. I firmly believe that using technologies like digital canvases and website creation helps avoid paper documentation, as it allows us to optimize time and space. I need to dedicate myself more to learning more about programming and not be afraid to share my failures, because they are the foundation of my learning for success.

NuEval — final step

Go to NuEval and fill in the checklist, when not complete notify your instructor.
