Moving Poster: Big Brother
Dec 12, 2017
During our Graphic Design Basics course in my first semester at ZHdK I designed this moving poster. It was illustrated in Adobe Illustrator, layouted and typeset in Adobe InDesign and animated using Processing.

Illustrations in Adobe Illustrator
The illustrations of the eyes were done in Adobe Illustration. I'm used to this software from my apprenticeship as a Polygraf EFZ.
Layout and type setting in Adobe InDesign
The layout and typography were done in Adobe InDesign. I'm used to this software from my apprenticeship as a Polygraf EFZ as well and am quite proficient in using it.
Animations in Processing
The code for animating the moving poster was written in Processing. I used OpenCV for the computer vision feature. The poster was displayed on a large vertical monitor featuring a Cinnect camera. When people moved in front of the poster, the eyes followed the person standing closest and the text changed. I used facial image recognition for finding peoples faces. This was the first time I used OpenCV. It was a lot of fun.
