Wallpaper 1 complete, for now.

I have now just completed wallpaper one visually,  although may (probably will) require some code cleanup after the other wallpapers are completed.

Here is what it looks like:

Next Version of my afternoons work

Here is the next version to the background troubles. Now includes a rough line which will be turned into a pattern (just a test at the moment to get the line on top of the back ground) and the .png screencap from pattern maker.

Long struggle, but now I undersand.

This afternoon I have spent a very lengthy period trying to get a line of tiny ellipses to cover my screen using processing. It wasn't a problem to get just the one line of ellipses, but getting it to then fill the screen was a nightmare. I finally found out what code needed to be moved where and then this was the result.

Turned out I just needed to move two lines of code out of some curly brackets. stage one of my wallpaper complete-ish.

My Friday Presentation

Here is my plan for next week, my source of inspiration for my wallpapers, my goals and also a copy of the images themselves.

My inspiration:

I am basing all of the wallpapers on the style of scratch art. This is the art that children make at kindergarten or primary school where they colour a piece of paper with crayons and and the cover it with black paint. After this they scratch it off and get something like this:

My goals:

By the and of this project I want to be able to easily create interesting looking designs with code. I also want to be able to create lines that don't have a defined edge to them and look kind of fuzzy.

My Designs:

Design 1

Design 2

Design 3

Design 4

Next Weeks Plan:
...is in the works.

My first post and links to my first open processing patterns

Hello, as you can see this is my first post on my new DSDN 142 blog. In this post I have linked to my first pieces of work for the course. They are made using the processing program (version 1.2.1) and hosted on the open processing website (http://www.openprocessing.org/).

So here are my four pattern links:

For this last pattern I googled "simple design" and it presented me with a box shelf. I then proceeded to create a look-a-like in processing. The shelf that inspired can be seen below.

And so here is the final pattern created at the end.
