Here are the ingredients required for each drink :)

Mocha Ingredients

1 ½ cups cold coffee

2 cups milk

¼ cup chocolate

¼ cup white sugar

Tea Ingredients

½ a teaspoon of tea leaves

1 cup of hot water

a dash of milk

sugar - as per taste

Falling Water Ingredients

45ml 42 Below Feijoa vodka

100ml CH'I herbal mineral water

cucumber slice

ice

Gin and Tonic Ingredients

2 oz Gin

5 oz tonic water

1 lime wedge

ice

Tequila shot Ingredients

45ml Tequila

1 lemon wedge

salt

Absinthe shot Ingredients                       

45 ml Absinthe

1 sugar cube

fire

The list of ingredients reinforces the idea that a setup function contains specific amounts and boundaries/outlines of what each segment within the function is. For example, Size could be defined as (500,500) and the amount of alcohol could be defined as 45 ml. In addition different code require different size, just like how different drinks require different amounts of alcohol. This is why I have provided several different types of drinks to indicate the fact that different types of code require different types of initialisation, like different drinks require different types and amounts of ingredients.

Final Arrangement and Explanation

ส่วนประกอบ

-Ingredient (Thai)

Final Composition - for exhibition

The Photo's arranged in this way are much more appealing to the eye. The way it references the set up code is also one of the attractions toward this presentation format. Each ingredient is laid out one above the other like you would find in the "void setup" function.

This series looks at representing a function in OpenProcessing code called Void Setup. The setup function is a part of the code that contains the information needed to carry out the ‘action’. The code needs to have this information established and laid out in order for these ‘actions’ to be conducted.

Metaphorically speaking the setup function to the code is what the ingredients are to a cake. Or in the case of this series the ingredients to a drink. Without these ingredients the drink cannot be produced. Equivalently without the items found in the setup function, the code cannot create the desired end result.

The setup function includes items like background, colour, speed and size. All items that need to be defined for the desired end result. In my photographs I have explored items needed in order to create the desired drink.

In the first two images the focus is on hot drinks. The first looking at a Mocha and the second a cup of Tea. 

The next two photographs in the series are alcoholic mixers, a Falling Water Cocktail and a Gin and Tonic. 

In the last two images of my series I decided to look at shots, a Tequila shot and an Absinthe shot. 

The exploration of different elements and different requirements for each drink speaks metaphorically of how codes require different setup functions according to what they are trying to achieve. This was my overall intention behind the series. Enjoy.

Final Shoot - Decisions.

Below is a series of photo's that will be used towards my final compilation...

 Milo

 Mocha

 Tea

 Falling Water Cocktail

 Gin and Tonic

Tequila Shot

Absinthe Shot

Each of the drinks are great however I feel the series is too long and I think some of the photo's aren't at the same standard as the rest. I think that having 2x shot drinks, 2x alcohol mixers and 2x hot drinks would make a good series. Meaning that I would remove the Milo image. And arrange the set of two one above the other with the couples side by side. 

Last week's work...

Last week I did some initial photo's after brainstorming what I wished to photograph.

Below is a list of some of the 'actions' I came up with that I can use as a basis for my series of photographs.

• Running
• Baking a cake
• Having a shot of tequila
• Playing Poker
• Going out

These images came out well and when I went to edit them in photoshop the best framing for the photo's was in a landscape frame that was extended width wise. A few examples of what I came up with are below...

Once putting these images together I found that as a series they didn't quite flow as well as I may have liked. Therefore I have made the decision to reshoot and focus simply on the ingredients needed for several different types of drinks. Focusing on the successful tequila shot and moving with that idea.

Below are is a brainstorm of the drinks I wish to photograph the ingredients to...

• Tea
• Coffee
• Milo
• Gin & Tonic
• Martini
• Absinthe shot

Cost/equipment Plan

Only cost I will have to be concerned with is the printing of the images. As the objects required in my photographs will all by items that I can borrow and find around me. The Big Picture does student discount, and are very reliable. Depending on the size of the images the cost should not be out of my price range.

Time Management Plan

With a Media Studies take home test due in the same week of this assignment, as well as a final Industrial Design project that will be ongoing, it will benefit me to follow the outline below:

This week:

• Brainstorm what actions I wish to represent in my series. This will define the amount of images and also let me know what ingredients or objects I will require when I shoot the series. 
• Gather objects that are required in the shoot, and sketch out how these objects will be arranged in the image (following the precedent images as inspiration)
• Do a first shoot, looking at lighting, arrangement of space, image size etc

Next week:

• Edit the photo's from last week down and refine in photoshop. Identify what needs to change in the second shoot. Identify what size images would work best as a series (portrait, landscape, square etc)
• Do a second shoot, and again edit and refine.
• If needed do a final shoot.
• Decide on image sequence, Look at photos as a series and edit to ensure the images flow as a series. Decide on how the images will be mounted in the exhibition.
• Print draft images see how they look.
• Write 200-300 word description of the photographic series. Due on Friday.

Hand In Week...

MONDAY

• Print final images (@ The Big Picture, Aro St) and mount in presentation format.

TUESDAY

• Ensure photographic series is up in the atrium by 1:30 pm.

These images are from the todayandtomorrow blog, Carl Kleiner photographed the recipes meanwhile Evelina Bratell Styled the ingredients.
