CPSC 120: Principles of Computing using Multimedia Design
(Fall 2008)
Some Examples
Here are some examples of the kinds of things students will write programs to do. Note: all of the transformations shown below were done by writing short programs in Python (and not via a program such as Adobe Photoshop).Pictures
| Simple transformations on a picture (of me): | ||
 |
Mirrored (side-to-side) -----> |  |
| Gray scaled -----> |  |
|
| Posterized -----> |  |
|
| Posterized in B/W -----> |  |
|
| Line edged -----> |  |
|
| Color segmented -----> (like an Andy Warhol picture) |
 |
|
| Collage -----> (note: text is written with smaller picture of me) |
 |
|
| Putting me on the moon: | ||
 |
 |
|
 |
||
| Blending two pictures together (of my dogs): | ||
 |
 |
|

Sounds
| Simple transformations on a audio sound ("this is a test"): | ||
| Original wav file | Backwards -----> |
New wav file
|
| Mirrored -----> |
New wav file
|
|
| Echoed -----> |
New wav file
|
|
| Reduced frequency -----> (kidnapper sound effect) |
New wav file
|
|
| Increased frequency -----> (chipmunk sound effect) |
New wav file
|
|
| Blending two sounds together (vocal "aah" + bassoon): | ||
| Original vocal wav file | Blended -----> | New wav file |
| Original bassoon wav file | ||
| Splicing sounds (some wacky modifications to Lincoln's Gettysburg speech): | ||
| Original Gettysburg wav file | Spliced -----> | New wav file |
| Original rabbit wav file (will be spliced in) | ||
| Original pig wav file (will be spliced in) | ||
| Original horse wav file (will be spliced in) | ||
| Some new sounds created using mathematical functions: |
| Sin wave wav file |
| Square wave wav file |
| Triangle wave wav file |
