Grotto Print Ideas #1

Print Ideas & Adam Bridgland (Jealous London) –  Today we had an interesting talk about the ‘Grotto Project’ formerly ‘Merch’. Adam Bridgland from Jealous London came along to share some insights and revealed a lot of useful information – see a selection of his slides at the end from the talk.  I’ve just been looking at the deadlines and I’ve realised that I really do need to start moving on this. Some very interesting takeaways from the talk included answers to questions such as: what was a popular poster colour? What kind of images sold well?  Adam suggested that blue was a popular colour and skulls, butterflies and cute cats seemed to do quite well.  Unfortunately the human form, unless comprising a skull did not seem to fair quite so well. I’ve produced many digital images over the years, but the thought of choosing just one singular image to print has really made me think.  I have some interesting macro photographs of oil on water hanging on my walls.  One was bought by a large Australian advertising company, one hangs in the local hospital and one appears on an album cover.  Even Adobe use some of my work.  Therefore I can’t […]

Onwards…

Holiday Touch Designer Projects Over the Christmas period I felt it was important for me to keep up the momentum with Touch Designer.   I am constantly aware that if I want to go down the more generative art route I need to be much more programming literate.  Normally when I sit down to an online tutorial I set my camera recording, so that I can produce a time-lapse.   I like to produce a time-lapse because it gives a visual snapshot of the passage of time.  This is something that is hidden from the viewer when observing final pieces.  The tutorials are vastly time consuming so I think that it is interesting to have this time represented in some way. I have numerous time-lapse footage of me working away at the Touch Designer tutorials.  Therefore, I think now may be a good time to think of more creative ways of expressing this passage of time.  However, for this blog I have included my last tutorial time-lapse as I worked on the video below it.   The Touch Designer Time-lapse   Results From The Touch Designer Time-lapse   Single Images Generated from The Video Above   Building in Mouse Interactivity […]

Creative Coding

Discovering Creative Coding with Processing – I thoroughly enjoyed our Zoom Session 10 where we were introduced to ‘Processing’. We had a small workshop that was run by Matthew Edwards. Processing is a simple but effective programming language ideal for anyone looking to undertake creative coding.  I was absolutely ‘sold’, indeed I decided to explore further.  Processing.org is a really well designed and thought out educational website teaching creative coding for beginners.  It allows students to copy and edit code within an interactive browser while working through the online tutorial videos.  I was delighted to receive a little certificate once I had completed my first hour of programming tuition.   Certificate of Completion Below is my certificate of completion.  I can thoroughly recommend the Precessing.org website for anyone who would like to begin a creative coding journey.  Recently I have been working with Touch Designer and my last project involved some coding work.  Processing has really helped with my understanding of the Touch designer workflow.  This week I was able to tackle quite a difficult Touch Designer tutorial about ‘Lissajous Curves’.  I believe the success of this project was largely due to understanding what code I was adding and why.  This […]

Liquid Glass

A Touch Designer Tutorial – I know that time is against me if I want to become proficient at ‘Touch Designer’. Therefore, whenever I have an opportunity to experiment with a new tutorial I take it.  I also like to give a time-lapsed visual record of the time that I spend on projects like this.  I am particularly interested in time and I’m hoping that these time-lapse videos will make an interesting addition to my project work.   A 35 Second Time-lapse of a 1.5 Hour Tutorial       The Result of the Tutorial Now that the network design has been finalised, I am able to tweak numerous parameters in order to arrive at a result that I’m happy with.  Below is the final result once I made all of my adjustments.         Variation of a Theme Once I have created a base video, I always like to experiment further.  Below is a variation on the video above.  However, I do prefer the original above.  The liquid glass effect is much more vibrant and there are less distracting elements.  I still think that the experiment below was worth a try even though I don’t think it […]
