DSDN142 Week One PatternMaker Exercises

Using Ben Jack's PatternMaker our first assignment was to produce a range of sketches and post four -


The most beautiful,


The most interesting,


The fanciest,


and a clearly specified one based on our lecture hand sketches.


Deciding which categories these particularly fitted into was a bit of a moot point, as beauty and interest are entirely subjective...




I liked this one for the monochromatic colour scheme and simply for the cleanness of it
Fairly simple coding of course, just learning to use bezier curves.






If I learnt anything from making this sketch, it is that 'impossible triangles' are named so for a reason. On a more technical side, I feel positive that there could have been a simpler way to go about achieving this as I spent a long time simply having to estimate where to put coordinates.




There's nothing fancy about these (very simple) lines. I really liked this one however and selected it as the 'fanciest' because of how the lines affect each other e.g the almost 3D look at the edges.



And lastly, a 'clearly specified' pattern based on a lecture sketch. To be perfectly honest I wasn't entirely sure where I was supposed to be going with this. But it has taught me that perhaps translating ideas from paper to computer is an area to work on!
