Fractal Art
In this assignment I learned how to create tons of repetitive objects quickly by putting small shapes into groups, and then continually copying those groups to create larger and larger groups of repetitive objects. During this assignment, I also learned that it is possible to reach a maximum amount of layers of Photoshop. At first, I didn't merge any of my layers so I reached 8,000 layers and Photoshop wouldn't let me add any more! I learned that merging layers on Photoshop will take a group and turn it into one single layer. This is a destructive editing technique, but it is necessary when creating fractal art like the because, as I learned, Photoshop can't handle having an excessive amount of layers. I was sort of inspired by Flume's first album cover because I was listening to it in class when I started working on the assignment. However, my design is overall very different and I like it a lot. I think it's super cool that I now understand how all of those psychedelic type videos on you tube are made.
