Peter Browne: Pixel Art Project-Outline & Circles
My idea for this project was pretty simple. I wanted to design a patch that could make black outlines of images. I thought of this project as a graphic image creator. I thought it would be cool to have a patch that one could say, make a coloring book with, or create outlines of a desired image to edit or fill in with color. I added the random colored and sized circle creator to further the patches graphic or poster like image creating capabilities. Depending on the randomly selected colors the patch occasionally creates an image suitable for a poster or a t-shirt graphic, or definitely a screensaver. I chose to do two different versions of the patch one featuring a famous soccer player, Ronaldinho, and the other featuring a famous rapper, Lil' Wayne, with the idea that the patch could create graphic posters or t-shirt designs of musical artists or other famous figures. These people themselves are not particularly important in the design of my patch, they were just examples. As easy as it is to import new images into the patch without editing much of it's structure the power of this patch in my mind is that any picture could be used, that anyone could input a picture of their favorite musician, or a family member, or anything really, and turn it into a visually appealing graphic image or a "coloring book" outline that could be used for any intended purpose. I feel like more than designing a specific pixel art project I designed a pixel art tool that could be used for other peoples purposes or aesthetic as well as my own.
