Background Visuals: Initial Ideas - Practical

Using a Spirograph to produce investigations into perfect geometry and how colours and layers could be used. The motion and process of physically exploring the researched concepts aids the visualisation of idea developments. 
 

  
Digitalising 
Using the Wacom I drew straight onto Photoshop to see how these shapes could be manipulated digitally to evolve the design and experiment with them as motion image. 




Experimenting with hue and colour changes to create vortexes and psychedelic spectacles

looking at rotation and flashing / strobe effect, as well as colours and how they go together

Scanning & Distorting



inverting to get a black background then playing around with gradient to see how different colours work with the pattern
      
Simply by changing the colour of this imagery one outcome mirrors the oscilloscope aesthetic whilst the other is a lot more fiery and dangerous 
 
Mirroring techniques and subsequent symmetrical patterning 
I much prefer the use of one colour as it is a lot less conventional 'psychedelia and a lot more modern and composed - less tacky 
 


Seeing how the liquify feature changes shapes and if this process could be recorded and visualised - shape changing - circular spirals 



Sectioning off pattern and placing it into geometric shapes




Looking at colour combinations and patterning



The effect of RGB vs CMYK
 

Mirroring technique experiments - how can a composition grow? zooming out and in on a subject - creating new dimensions - resembles tiling / kaleidoscope effects
