 The design we all are familiar with the design right now. I think after five days But there's a lot behind it and in this talk crystal Saunders will tell us everything behind to the design Give it up for crystal. Oh, hi all welcome Welcome at the last day of this wonderful festival Everything looks very nice in this festival and that's because we had a really great design We had a something very large to build up to like the awesome 2017 design was really Generative and we built on this and we got this nice jewel tone design and I'm gonna talk a bit more about the ideas behind it So first a small thing about me. I'm bookworm also known as crystal Saunders I have two main things people need to know about me. I love purple and I love stories and There are some stories about the design that I want to tell with you right now So that I didn't make the design. I've been part of the team I've been trying to coordinate things, but there are two people who are really need to be a shout out for this This is bleep track and Nicolette bleep track and Nicolette. Yes somewhere around The 2019 we started to talk about having a design I got this two wonderful woman together and did a brainstorming session and that was the first part We did for this design afterwards we Worked on it. There are a lot of people we have to thank for Stitches to one who made the generator mostly I did some parts and there are a lot of people who did small things. I Can't shout out to all of them, but I want to thank them so When we look at the 2017 design, it was the six bars We had this nice mustardy colors and everybody could make at their own design their own flag for their village for their Solution for their own project. They could make everything and this for a lot of people was fun And we wanted to make this to the next level But we also wanted to make it colorful and we want to make it generative and work with black and dark white backgrounds these are Make it a bit harder. So we left away with the entire completely Random design and we went to a fixed colors But one of the other wishes we had was to make it more fit in with the rest of the team With the rest of the field with the rest of the event and so we looked at the call for participation Participation and there was there a motto that spoke to us The the motto was the future will eventually be consistent, but what kind of consistency it will have And we think we can do something with this Eventually consistent that means that in the end it will be one coherent Thing and we wanted to have something like that in design So we brainstormed a bit more and we've been taught about consistent fitting things reflections Yeah, we can do something with that Some other ideas we had was we wanted to have a colorful Bright color palette because we thought you know It might be coming a bit depressive here with all the things that happened in 2021 so we wanted to have a colorful design and what we had We checked a lot and we come out of to this jewel tone design. You see right here It's a color palette with purples with greens with yellow and with a pink and as you can see it works great on a field It looks very colorful. I'm happy with it We also wanted to do something with reflections With a bit of physics with all those kind of things and what we had is one of the things we found this beautiful butterfly We'll have clear wings and if you Shine some light through them. It will shimmer a bit It will refract a bit and we went on on that and what we ended up with what's a kaleidoscope? So what we did we made a kaleidoscope and the kaleidoscope Means that you have one base image and a lot of reflections on it and every reflection might be a bit different But the end is consistent and that's why we have the design a kaleidoscope design Well, some practical things about kaleidoscopes. They're full of triangles That also means that it's full of hexagons and hexagons are after all know the best of guns So we have a design full of hexagons. That's nice We can do a lot of that and we also see those nice PCB traces and Those PCB traces are randomly generated based on the input string So it's consistent with the string, but every string will get a shahesh because you know We're part of the shah 2017 design. We're evolving from that So we're using the same shahesh and we use that as the seed for the random generator that makes this traces This is bleep tracks work and it's awesome. It's made in paper GS And then it's put into a few interface that is really complicated And I'm really happy with people helped us out with that because it's working great for most parts But I've seen most of people using it so it should have a great usability What we also use is those shahesh We also used to generate the main color for the text we used it for the main color of the triangles and All of this is done in paper GS in your browser and that means that for every string there is every time the same output So that's cool. We also put some other options from it So if you go to design dot mch 2020 dot com dot org You're gonna get this design generator and you can change some parameters You can make a monogram version. You can use standard colors. And if you want to go really really Funky we also have some options like blend modes and Opacity changes, but also you want stars at them. You want emoji? Fine. We have a field for that So we wanted to have something very very versatile and I think yes. Yes, we succeeded in that Thank you but But this event is called may contain hackers. So what this design was missing was the hacker some strings and not all of them around 42% of them has a hacker in them We use this very nice icon. It's a restart icon from the known project. They have They have icons that are useful. They have a lot of set. It's really great and there is a random chance based on the input string that you have this hacker in your design and that's cool and But it also brings up the question. What is a hacker and the thing is There's no protected title for this. Everybody can count on my hacker and the thing is there are around more 32 hackers on 30 3200 hackers on this field and I'm pretty sure there are more than 3200 Definitions of hackers on this field right now But the thing is they all mirror their a set of ideals and an it ethical base So we're all reflections of the same core Ethics and that's what one of things that unites us and this This ethical base. Let's call them a hacker ethic is something. That's all Something that's defined a long time ago Somewhere in the 80s Stephen Levy wrote a book in his book. He defined the hacker ethics And this is a product from its era So what he said is that the computer should have acts so everybody should have access to computers and information should be free distrust authority but promote the decentralization and we should judge each other based on your merits and not on your On your background But like the hacker ethics, this is something from that era we built on it sometimes we change it We all reflect on it. It's a kaleidoscope You reflect everything and what we use right now is something that reflects from this For the design, however, there is like one main thing in this Had hacker ethics that we really take to our heart and it is you can create art and beauty with computers We did this in a very beautiful design, but keep in mind you can do this in different way every piece of code can be beautiful Every piece of hardware can give beautiful results. We all can do this and this is something nice This is something you can really learn on hacker events We all make beautiful things and if you share them we can all enjoy them so Back to design. What do we have? We have a triangular grid which is an infinity reflecting grid We have some area where some text can be and we have a generator available The generator may or may not contain a hacker and we have five base colors with PCB traces and a nice font And it's made in people to paper GS and bootstrap few but this was somewhere and of 2000 220 and then this happened Covid mch 28 where this divine floor was made was cancelled. This was really shitty Was not a fun time, but you know, what do you do when you have a shitty time? You make some t-shirts So we made a design for the meh. It didn't happen t-shirt and Some people may laugh right now because there is some history here The Dutch hacker camps each time have a different name and before we went for may contain hackers But we maybe should have think a bit more because the may was very uncertain But you know, we are all here. So that's great. But before we had that name. This was the preserve proposal So we have meh metal car hacking and we could put that on the t-shirt. So this name did come back We're here further and right now we are at mch 2022 for a few more hours We are on this great festival and we have a lot of things on the field that look really really great For example, we have the gate and the main gate looks beautiful It's great. It is triangles. It has some reflective CDs. So it is everything that I could have wanted with design Thank you. Thank you very much. Daco team. It looks awesome And so we did this on a lot of things and to come back to this design where we have where we all are Reflections of the same attacks with our own flavor Resume and who's part of the Daco team did a really really great job. We've seen all the flags around the site They are not one try one hexagon from the generator But there are all different hexagon and every hexagon has its own meaning if you look right here We have some based on sharing. We have some based for angels. Thank you angels. We have some for nerds We have a party. We have hacker in there. We have makers. We have programming Like most of the things that the finest are representative in this flag So I'm really happy we could have this and this is part what makes this event beautiful We also put the design on the booklet and I have to make a small either piece of humble pie We take the booklet we take a picture from Sebastian Humback Which was great. It's a really lovely picture. We used it everywhere. We used attribution everywhere But it went away in the booklet. Therefore, there's this shout out. Thank you a lot Thank you for not making a problem of this Okay, and if you look around the site for the last few days you've seen a lot of t-shirts appearing We have this t-shirt Where the generator is mostly bleed tracks design the t-shirt to who these at the Headwear are mostly Nicolette's design What you see here is the butterfly we have in the beginning with the reflective wings We have a light beam coming up to the to the butterfly and spreading apart in all the colors that we have as mch There are a few more things I want to highlight in this design. You can see there are some Yeah, so we call them some formulas and some Technical drawings in there what you see is a drawing and the formulas for how light is reflected in a prism And what you also see is how a kaleidoscope is working These things we wanted to put on the hoodie so everybody can see yes There is a physical basis and everything behaves like rules, but we make our own flair of it The other thing is that we have this nice Hexagon design and we wanted to utilize it somewhere on the shirt And what we have right now is that one sleeve of the hoodie and one of the t-shirt is Completely in this fabric based on this design and because it's purple. It's blends in a tiny bit But it's very visible. It was very fun to walk around last night and see everybody with his hoodies and it's it looked beautiful Thank you all for wearing them. The model of this t-shirt is a recline t-shirt So if somebody else want to make something like this a recline has the sleeve in a separate way And that way you can make this nice seamless designs But apart from the hoodie apart from the t-shirt and apart from the flags and all the other nice things that were on the side I've seen other people they making use of this design. We put this on a lot of places we have like Mirrors and kaleidoscope the kind of things on the field. We had the prisms with the day Decroic foil which reflects the light in a different way. It was awesome We had a lot of wristbands in a lot of colors and We see that some colors were more popular than others But well they were there and they helped to make the design more comfortable and then we like the How do you call them? The the name tags that were everywhere Do we we had a printer at heaven who could make them which mean that we have them We also had for a lot of things for example for cars We had like a five papers with all area access for the vehicles that had that for a limited time They were stolen so right now. We don't have any anymore So you know if you have one return would be nice But that means we didn't have them but people saw them more people wanted to have them So what our friends at the pocket? They also had a color printer and they've printed out some more Credit card sized cards with all area access on it and you see that's wearing people around So if you want to have an all area access, these are the people you have to talk about Lastly, I want to thank you all for being here. It was a really fun event. It was really colorful And I want to thank you all for bringing your own flavor of hacker to make this kaleidoscope of an event really beautiful Thank you all for being there bringing your own story. I enjoyed a lot and The last thing I want to bring back is the team from the call for participation The future will eventually be consistent and it's up to us at all to make sure what kind of consistency we have Please bring your own. I hope really you are inspired with this camp And you bring back your own inspiration from this camp to make the world to better a more beautiful or my safer place Thank you all and have a good years Thank you very much for this this insight in the design. It's really cool Does anyone have any questions about this if you have you can walk up to the microphone in the middle and you can ask the question Hi, I missed out on that and I saw on the wiki that there was at least an exchange, but do you think there is a chance that more will be made? Right now. There are no plans to make an extra merge run. We also saw it was very popular So we will take it in consideration But making merge this year was interesting This design is very complex and we have to see it's not viable to do this for a small run So we really have to see But we will keep you updated if we do thank you Right was that the only question? Then I'd like everyone to make some noise for crystal
