How To draw a pLane black when the ink tool isn’t available! and you have to use the brush
In modern interface design, programmers and designers have to provide the user with efficient and usefull tools to get the best results. When fast and easy methods have to be available, there are tools with some magic automatism in them. When inverting a plain white screen into black, the fastest method is the ink tool, with single-clicking-black-painting the whole scenery.
But what to do, when learned devices are not available? The human beeing (so for animals), is trained to elicit and evaluate new methods, adapt, develop and tell others. This tiny study will show different methods when trying to fill a whole screen with one beautiful color: black. Just using a single brush. In different sizes. And then, paint a sheep.
The Sheep Market The Sheep Market is a collection of 10.000 sheep created by workers on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Each worker was payed $.02 (US) to “draw a sheep facing left”. www.thesheepmarket.com www.mturk.com
Avg. time spent drawing each sheep: 105 seconds Average wage: $0.69 / hour Collection period: 40 days Collection rate: about 11 sheep / hour Unique IP addresses: 7599 “The Sheep Market” is a project of Aaron Koblin in 2006. aaronkoblin.com
The matrix of thesheepmarket.com shows 10.000 sheeps. It shows 34 sheeps painted on black. We will focus on them.
