Week 23
This week I decided I wanted to create something based off of last past ideas and make a sort of 3-D matrix of connected dots and lines giving a sort futuristic look.
I began placing small circles on a blank background for points to connect later.
I then started connecting these dots with lines, but still making sure that the lines did not stretch too far so it didn't look weird.
I realized i had the dots and lines on the same layer and I fixed this, and it was easier for me to do things in the long run.
I made the background a light blue to give it some color and made the lines and dots black to visualize it better.
I'm not really sure what i did here but I changed the lines to white.
Then I made the dots black and enlarged the entire image so it wasn't just 1/2 of the screen.
Again something didn't look right, it still seemed 2-D so I added lines that gave depth, ones that could be inferred as either behind or in front of another.
I finished up the lines and then started to transform it in different ways.
I decided I liked this look and kept it. (I don't like it now)
I changed the background to a blur to give it more demention
I resized again
And then I placed it into a corner that looked good
I changed the background one more time, same blur just some tweaks to the brightness and color.
at this point i was satisfied but I still wanted more. I gave it a gradient to see how it would look and by default it was white to black it looked alright and it gave some shadow to the lines.
But Its supposed to be futuristic right, so I made the gradient from white to transparent so it was still a line but more "high tech" looking I guess
This one took some time but was based around the same idea of white to transparent except multiple time. This ended up being one of my favorites because it shows the depth more than the other images i created
Not sure what i attempted here, it was hard to create gradients considering some lines extended much further than others. Maybe that's something I can look into to separate each individual line with its own length so that way each line has a symmetrical dash/line/faded pattern on it which looks similar to other lines. Either way a very productive week in which I found new creative ideas.
