This is my final application, it is generated through random lines, or cracks appearing on screen when the user clicks the mouse. Through adding a sound which relates to the visual qualities i have created an interactive application.

Mouse Functions
This is a development of my final composition, but using a drag button for my interatction.
Adding sound
While i was going through sites on the internet looking for sound, i drew inspiration from my precedents and looked for the cracking, and exploding sounds. I wanted to find a sound which was short and effective without dragging on too long, so i decided to go with a simple short crack noise, which when the user clicks fast layers the sound on top of itself creating the same aesthetic wise.
Further Development
After making cose which moves the next step would be to add a mouse click function, or similar. I researched which ways would be most effective for generating my work and did some experiments with the various mouse functions.
The first experiments i did were with mouse pressed, and released.
The last image here is using the mouse drag function, which i thought was somewhat more interactive, however maybe not as effective as the click for my project as it is about generating the cracks.

Early Development
This is my first experiment with making my application move, i havnt added any interaction yet as i want to make sure it looks right before i add sound. I think i would like to see more, or a wider variation in the stroke width so i will play with that from here on in and add sound to my application. Havnt played with colour yet but im sure i will.
Initial ideas
My 3 initial ideas are centered around the mouse click fucntion, however the interaction is through where the user clicks. The top idea id the idea of cracks using opacity to blank out parts of the screen. When the user clicks cracks will appear. The second idea is based on mouse dragged where the user drags a sqaure across the screen to make a musical tune or note. And the third idea is based on mouse click also but is like fireworks shooting across the screen, once it hits the right hand side the fireworks explode with the moise replicating that explosion.
Project 3 Precedents
My precedent images show the idea and direction that i want to head toward sfor my third project. I want to develope a unique aestyhetic which either follows the idea of cracks in the earth or dry ground, or fireworks. I am interested in creating an appealing aesthetic which has an element of truth and a natural look, whilst at the same time making an interactive composition which allows the user to play with the sounds also created by either the earth cracking, or explosions from the fireworks.
