Process

Outline your approach to the project? What ideas did you generate and how did you refine or reject them? What did you research and explore? what were the design choices? What challenges were encountered and how did you resolve them?

At first I thought of creating the crow in monument valley because I wanted to have a crown hover above its head. After consulting with Jen, I found that to make it stand above the crow may risk short circuiting if I wasn't careful to separate the positive and negative legs of the led. I ended up going with Ida, the main character of the game because she was a little simpler to make. Either way, in the game, whenever Ida or a crow reaches a destination point, something glows from within the character's hat and it releases into the sky. I wanted to portray that wonder and mystery using an led and a removable felt hat.
