Final Wallpaper set

These are my final wallpapers!

I really like the colours I have chosen here, the subtleties of the changing pattern is what I was really working on and I wanted the final image to not really be recognisable from the first. I feel that I've learnt so much, I didn't know anything at all to begin with so I am quite happy with my result.

Initial Ideas and Sketches for Wallpaper

I really wanted to work with the idea of optical illusions for my wallpapers, something that makes you look twice. These two images I found on google are my inspiration for my sketches below...

I have chosen the image with the triangles and diamonds because I think it has the most potential to be developed as a set I want to add colours and code that changes the way the pattern looks. I also want it to look kind of 3D. My first sketches on processing are as follows;

Testing colours

These are my initial sketches and ideas for my wallpaper set, I've had to play around a lot with colours and the progression of the pattern through the set of four wallpapers.

Progress in my coding skills...

My first go at pattern making...

Here are four of my patterns, starting with my very first one, which I just copied and pasted the codes from the reference list without fully understanding what was happening! Luckily with a lot of practice the rest of my patterns are derived from some sketches and pictures and I actually had control over what was happening, and the outcome of my patterns.

Second attempt, named 'Icecream'

 

Even though this looks simple, I had to work out the placement of my lines for the shadow, and the exact colours I wanted. So for me it was difficult, after copying and pasting for my first pattern, I actually had to think about things!

Third attempt, 'Cupcakes'

For this one I wanted it to look a little more complex... I think it still looks easy but it was complex for me. I wanted each shape I created to have a different colour in it, I think it looks like a birds eye view of cupcakes.

My final pattern was inspired but my evil eye bracelet that my brother gave my..

This is my interpretation...

After all these attempts I feel I have a better knowledge of the processing process and fell a lot more confident with it.

Fun code..

While browsing OpenProcessor I found this, it's so much fun to play with and the idea is just so simple. Something to aspire to...
