Summary

My project suffered from similar time and budget constraints that my peers are also well aware of in their own ventures, however I do feel that I managed to create a device that mostly fills its original concept.

To recap:

I wanted to create a device that would be:

• Simple in design
• Installation-based
• Able to convert basic sketches to audio, varying across sketches

My project was fraught with amazingly good and equally terrible luck. The spectrum across the musical output I feel could be much much wider, each sketch card more discernibly different through more zones, more tones, and possibly the addition of a QR code reader zone to change key depending on what kind of card is sketched on. 

The design although functioning in a simple concept, failed to evolve into a larger instrument that could be captivating a user for a log period of time.

My Sonic Sketch Nickelodeon was a journey through modifying Max Patches, through attempts at simplifying design and although was a failure in a potentially understated grandiose, was far above and beyond what I had expected to create alone, and had caused me to feel a sense of achievement at creating a device that fits a relatively open design concept (and works as a proof thereof.)
