Hi everybody! The weather is getting cooler, the days are shorter, and winter is coming!
Welcome to the second last experiment poster creation of the mini-series Pixel Process. As usual, I use Processing 3, and Kim Asendorf writes the lines of code. Check his website to find out what he does.
The Design
I probably used the wrong colors or too much or not enough contrast on my image because I had difficulties obtaining something that looked good. I can’t satisfy myself with the pictures Processing generates, so I try many ways to get what I want. I tried using a PNG file with Apollo’s head. After that, I used a background with the head of Apollo. I still can’t figure out why it isn’t going how I want.
In addition to this counter-time, the pixel sorting process took a long time—too long to my taste. Waiting behind a screen is difficult, but on the other hand, it allows me to think about my next steps, and it is like I remember I can use a background. It helps to make the render a bit more interesting. I will take some time today to learn more about how to use the Pixel Sorter code from Kim Asendorf.
I was enthusiastic about discovering or re-discovering Processing and its capabilities. I was introduced to it during some days when I was in school. Unfortunately, as you know, a designer rarely knows how to code. I am interested in code. I know HTML and CSS, as well as some knowledge of procedural PHP and jQuery, but it stops there.
Speed Art Poster #282
I did the speed art video number 281 of Pixel Process 9 for the two hundred eighty-two times.
If you wonder how I created today’s poster, you can see how I worked from start to finish. Please take a look; it can inspire you or give you ideas.
Remember to leave a comment and an appreciation on my YouTube channel, and see you tomorrow for the last poster of the mini-series Pixel Process #10!
