I'm sorry to see this class come to a close. I've enjoyed everyone's work. I beleive we have all come a long way with our designs. We all started off a little unsure of what we had gotten ourselves into but in the end our work shows how we have all improved. I've really enjoyed everyone's work as I hope you have enjoyed mine. Best of Luck to All.
These are my first attempts at this assignment. Hope to have time to do a couple more. I think I tried to due too much with the last 2. I think the proportions are easier to see in the first 3. I guess I'll stick to the KISS principle.
Here are some of my attempts at Proportion.
For my final entry, I played with the textures in GIMP and came up with the wood theme that incorporates 5 different wood grains, I just thought it looks cool. The second one is my take on a baseball diamond and the last one is my rendition of a bumble bee, black and yellow are always strikings together. Thanks for all your kind comments on my past projects.
Here is my attempt at letter wrap, and trying to get text to follow a path.Silhouette
of a car, and then made seamless, and repeated.
I made another attempt at this. I still cannot get the shadow to reflect on the ground. Any suggestion? I think that this one came out a little better than the first. I also tried making multiply sphere and that did not work for me. I am not very artistic but I try my best.
This assignment was actually easy this week. This looks like the moon on a dark stormy night out in the distance at sea. 
I experimented with this project, and was happy with the results. I could not figure out how to cast a shadow onto the largest sphere from the small sphere in the upper right. Anyone have any ideas??
I used the letter G for the Cropped Letterform project. As usual, once the image was repeated many times, it produced an intersting design.
Here are a couple of attempts at the Quarter Circle project. Once my shapes were tiled, they produce interesting patterns. I like the textured look on the green one, which was produced by using the mosaic effect.
I found this particular to be very challenging. I didnt like it as much as the other projects at all. The cropped letter I chose was k.
Of the two photos I chose to use, I think the black and yielded more interesting results. I'm having some problems with some blank areas showing up when I tile the images, can anyone offer any ides as to why?
Here's a couple of tiled versions of one of my rotational designs. I think the design lost some of its interesting features when I reduced its size.
OK,
Finally getting the hang of using gimp. I have enjoyed
Well, I had a much harder time with this than I expected. I'll post another try tomorrow night.
The photo I chose for my project was a wallpaper picture of a Ferrari 360 Modena. I chose this car because the design of the exterior in itself is a piece of art. The car is beautiful so it must make for a beautiful project. The first two images are cropped from the front of the car. The third image is a single crop of the rear of car. Finally the mid section of the car was used to form an accordion image .
I made opposites images for the first two images of this project, both the 80% and the 50% images. The inverted images of the same design do create drastically different images. The last image which I titled "sunrise" is my representation of the early morning when it is still very dark in the west but the east is starting to illuminate.
OMG!! Im really really sorry about this assignment being posted but I was having serious computer issues. And it didnt help that my dial-up kept signing me off. I'm switching services soon. This project was actually alot of fun. I really felt like I knew what I was doing this time. I also felt really creative with what we had to do this week. I look forward to what's coming up next.
I like the tile effect, which makes the images much more
