From the testings done previously, we decided to go with pastel and twilight art styles to encapsulate the idea of both a dream and a nightmare. These art styles were chosen to highlight the stark contrast between the two, and also to show that dreams are not all dreamy illusions but can be really scary at the same time.

Then, we went back to the survey we conducted and generated images from all the responses we received previously. Realising that the main colours of all the images were either pink, blue, green, or black, the images were sorted out by colour before we begun constucting our artefact.

From the images generated, it was interesting to see how all the different responses look like visually, especially when we realised that some people have very similar dreams visually even though the responses they submitted were completely different.

One thing we could potentially do moving forward to build on this topic would be to make a connection between a persons dream, their personality, and what they're currently going through in life.

Artefact Process: A Dreamscape

The idea for our artefact was inspired by a dreamscape, which is similar to a central "CPU" for dreams. Our goal was to create a panaromic dreamscape that can be viewed continuously using the images we've generated. Which means manipulating images using both the content-aware tool and the smudge tool in Photoshop so that they merge together seamlessly and form a long scroll filled with dreams.

On the flipside, the other side of the artefact would be filled with the text prompts that we've types into Dalle-2. One side representing what Dalle-2 sees, and the other, what we see.
