This is the Dokumentation of my final project "Synestheisia". As you can see in my Sketches i started with just sketching around collecting ideas and creating mind maps.
In the beginning i really had no idea what to do.
The task was "invent a new game" at first this stundet very imposssible to me, but after some research in the internet about conditional design i started to get more specific.
I saw alt of stuff with coloures mixed with interactive processes.
But what i never saw was something with music.
So i thougt about getting music in my game. Another reason why i choose music was the fact that i always listen to music when i doing creative work like inventing a new design or a layout. It stimulates my mind i a certain way.
Next step was research in the internet about music and games in combination with Interaktion of people.
I found something about synesthesia. It is the "is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway" this means for example the colour which comes to a humans mind if he is listening to certain sounds. So finally i came through a lot of sketches to my game.

In "Synesthesia" one person is sitting at a table and waiting for listening to a certain tonescale for exmaple C-Dur. After the scale is over the person gives his own vote how many times a ceratin tone was played. The tone with the most votes will be written down. Next step is bringing in the colour.

The coloure, which relates to a certain sound as i experienced, differs from every person to
another. But in most cases the brightness an the direction is almost the same.

So right before the game starts i would suggest to make a short colour -tone test with the person,
to get the colour-tone relation.

Now the colour comes in. After the decision which tone appears the most. And as you can see in my sketches a square or half the square will be filled with the right colour after running throw a coupel times we will have a coloured postet which was created by synesthesia.

This are the rules so far and how the game could be played a possible outcome of the game enjoy it
