FOUND LINKS #6
So I pulled some links out of the archives this week you should be rather pleased with the selection. A free app, an awesome tutorial, a resources site for designers and a graphics generating engine called Context Free.
I recently thought about The Rasterbator at a meeting for the UO Digital Arts Student Group, ASDA, where we discussed doing some large scale outdoor art with it. It takes an image you upload and turns it into a massive halftone reproduction, on letter sized paper. Take a look at the gallery for more ideas and inspiration,
This is a new tutorial from Digital Arts. In it the author take some extruded text in illustrator and warps into abstract shapes I’ll post my results with this technique this week end, as I’m using this for a new poster design.
In case you live in a hole (you would have to if you haven’t found this yet) and you haven’t found Designers Toolbox yet, it’s now your new best friend. Loads of templates and other goodies are in here just poke around and you will find something you need.
Context Free. One of my favorite little tricks. It generates vector objects based on certain rules you define the code looks a little like CSS and is easy to learn. I’ll probally post a basic tutorial on how to use it later with some examples.
