Typography & Text-Based Art

 The image above I edited using Glassgiant.com I thought the black background was better than the white background because it showed my image more.

 So for Textorizor 1, I used a picture of my mom and niece even though you can hardly see their faces. I used a lot of strings, I didn't really like the opacity at 0. Also, I thought the smaller print didn't make the image such a blur. But I didn't really like how the images looked so blurry with this photo editor.

 I used Textorizor 2 and you can actually see what your picture is compared to the image for textorizor 1. I also liked that the words vary in size and color.

 For this image I used Excoffizer.com and i thought this site was okay kind of too simple for me. I preferred thinner wiggles and the opacity to be set quite higher (120-140)

 Tagxedo.com another one of my favorites. I choose an image of a heart and inside of it are words I thought anyone could feel or relate to over the course of their lifetime. So I have a game, spot any typos? I misspelled some words after I created my images. (Oops!)

My Becher Grid for ART 1070

 

This week I created a Becher Grid for my ART 1070 assignment. Although it was difficult to find 16 similar items but finally I just decided to use different keys. All I had was my cell phones terrible camera so I did what I could do to get the keys to look the best. First, I set up the grid by making a 4000x4000 pixel grid. Then added my images which I cropped and sized to be 875x875 pixels each. I didn't add any color or shading layers to my images because I liked the clarity of how the keys looked. Next, to get my grid to look as evenly spaced out as possible I used a 100x100 pixel spacer. I did have some trouble flattening the images into one merged image and with saving the image but with the help of my ART 1070 course instructor (who has been very helpful, by the way), we figured it out so here's my finished Becher Grid, hope you liked it!

 

 The photos above, I created using the original Scribbler. I personally liked the thinner lines, to me it shows the sharpness of the scribble. The first photo I called 'Tree of life".

 

 

Second are the two photos I created with Scribbler Too. The second picture is my edited picture of the first photo, I thought Scribbler Too was kind of complicated to me. This program had more artistic freedom then Scribbler but I thought the settings were confusing. I couldn't figure out how to master the settings to create the best image. My photos turned out okay even though I had some trouble. How do you think they turned out?

My last two pictures were made with the program called Flame. I liked this program the most, the colors are so vibrant and beautiful. The second picture I called "energy" because of how the different colors blended together. I liked it so much its the screensaver for my computer now.
