Spirograph Tutorial



I thought this was a neat tutorial. Really helped me learn about using the "Pucker and Bloat" and other transforming techniques in AI. I chose to do designs 1, 2 and 6 in the tutorial. The bottom one was one of my own creation. I'd do more, but I have a 6 page paper to write for english.

Escheresque- The final project



For full effect, click on image for the full viewing size. Sadly, even that size is roughly half of what the original image was, in interest to have a small enough file to post in this blog. I was looking around for a good swf hosting site- one that could host a 5,737 swf, but I'll just have to look into ways to shrink that file size. Why so big? Well, if this were to ever be printed, I'd want it to be huge, so one could see each and every T-Shirt detail. Ironically, it took more time to copy and paste the (and sometimes livetrace) images, than it did to figure out how the shirts would interlock and how the colors would pattern out.
