EXERCISE NINE: EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION

The task for this exercise was to create an illustration for an article - in this case, ‘When You Text ‘til You Drop’by Bryan Burrough.

The article discusses the book iDisorder, which focuses on how our use of technology can affect us mentally, and offers techniques on how to overcome these challenges.

A lot of my initial concepts were, I felt, a little too dark for the subject matter. There’s a lot of writing about technology and its effects out there, and a lot of them take a little bit of an anti-tech, scare-mongering approach. This article isn’t that, and I didn’t want to use something that, in my opinion, is a little bit overdone. (images of people ignoring each other for their phones, of people being chained to their phones, screens as eyes, etc etc).

Within the article, the author of the book refers to people emerging from their ‘Techno Cocoons’. I decided to take this a step further in the illustration - people emerging from techno cocoons as techno butterflies. I felt it was appropriate, with the butterfly being a useful metaphor for transformation and freedom. I added a circuit board pattern to the wings to indicate that these aren’t people totally breaking away from technology -that instead of relying on it totally, as a butterfly relies on a cocoon, they are instead able to use it as a tool without it weighing them down.

I used a mixture of gouache for flat, graphic colour, and artline pen for the finer details.

The Art and Science of Java Chapter 4 Exercise 9 Solution

Tn mathematics, there is a famous sequence of numbers called the Fibonacci sequence after the thirteenth-century Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci. The first two terms in this sequence are 0 and I, and every subsequent term is the sum of the preceding two. Thus the first several terms in the Fibonacci sequence are as follows:

Fo = ° F, = F1 = I (0 + I) F3 = 2 (I + I) F4 = 3 (I + 2) F5 = 5 (2 + 3) F6 = 8 (3 + 5)

Write a program to display the values in this sequence from F0 through F15.

/* * FibonacciSequence.java * ---------------------- * This program displays the values in the Fibonacci sequnece from F0 to F15. */

import acm.program.*;

public class FibonacciSequence extends ConsoleProgram{ public void run() { int n0 = 1; int n1 = 1; int n2; println("0" + "\n" + n0 + "\n" + n1); for (int i = 0; i < 13; i++) { // Loop for the next 18 terms n2 = n1 + n0; //The next term is the sum of the previous two terms println(n2 + " "); n0 = n1; // The first previous number becomes the second previous number... n1 = n2; // ...and the current number becomes the previous number } println(); } }
