Thanks for a great class

I hope to be able to continue to see great work on your blogs. I will move your blog links to the archive list. You can keep checking this blog as a way to link to other students past and present.

Snow Thing

Tried the snow thing that Cassie was looking at. I am not sure that I am impressed by it. You need to do multiple layers of dots at different sizes and blur them separately to produce depth. The figure is simply desaturated. Some blurred color layers help add lightening through screen blending mode and color behind the masked figure for color gradation.

Grainy Vectors, Pattern Skin, Blurry Road

Here are a few images that go with the recordings that I am posting today on Blackboard.
The Grainy Vector Monkey is a great technique that turns ordinary vectors into cool retro lithographic texture looking things. The Pattern skin is pretty easy, you just have to figure out multiple masks. The blurry road angel guy is several techniques together.
Be sure to check out the recordings.
