Final Eight Sketches

These are my Final eight images which I have produced by only using intersecting ellipses.

Some research for Final

 
So for my Final patterns, I decided to look at some existing intersecting circle patterns and see how they match up to my own. The first one I loved because these simple circles were arranged in a particular way to give this stunning flower pattern. If one of the circles were off then the whole pattern would be ruined .








This picture is a classic one, the three colours intersecting to create other colours. I like this one because it shows what the two colours would produce if they were combined. I could easily use this in my own designs by mixing two colours or playing with the transparency to give different levels of one colour. There are so many possibilities for these designs that the ideas are just endless.

Favourite sketch

This is probably one of my favourite sketches I have done so far. What I like about it is that all of these intersecting circles create this amazing, all most web like structure. It's hard to believe that just a simple circle if multiplied can create these beautiful designs. I will use this as my base code for my final eight sketches and just work on the random aspects and also the intersecting circles.

Some Class Experimentation

 These are two of the examples that were done in class. This one on the right had increasing circles which came from the top left corner and as the sketch went on the screen slowly turned to red so the lines were'nt visible. I could use this feature in my final possibly. I liked the fact that it wasn't just stationary like most of the other sketches but it had movement.

This Picture shows another example done in class but this one looked at noise and the patterns it can make. I found this one interesting because each time you restarted the sketch you got these unique patterns and even through the slightest change in numbers, you can get vastly different results.

More Experimentation

 For the first picture I worked on the same code as the previous one but tweaked it a bit and it still kept the same main pattern but it was more darker and dense on the top than it was evenly spread like the other one.

For the the second picture I decided to try out circles so I created two ellipses exactly the same but slighty off from eachother. I used the random feature again with the positioning and colour of the circles. It turned out pretty good but it can be improved.

The third one I used the the previous code but instead of having two ellipses, I had five, all evenly spaced from eachother. As they scattered across the screen they were being produced at random scales, colours and positions. This result is much better than the previous one.

These next images were just experiments using the mouse click function so my shapes chaged colour as they appeared on the screen but I found that it wasn't very cool or pretty overall.

This last image was created by lengthening the width of the ellipses just to give a different effect. I thought it worked quite well and may incorporate this technique later on in the project.



Experimentation

So for the first couple of studios the class looked at basically learning the ropes of the processing program. Here are a picture from the processing I made.

This one I really liked because it was one of my first

goes at playing with the random feature and by tweaking it I produced this pattern which built up over time which I thought was really awesome looking. I found that keeping it in one colour was better because having red, blue and green all in the one pattern made it look pretty ugly.
