335 - Product and Process

Day 355. One thing I've learned from +Cathy Hunt is that iPad art gets more interesting when you pass it through more and more processes. This photograph of a waterlilly was passed through Oil Painting, Distressed FX, the kaleidoscope tool in MegaPhoto and finally Waterlogue to give this somewhat abstracted finished result.

The other thing I've learned is that the iPad screen capture feature (holding down the power and home button together) can be a great tool for documenting the process. Just capture the screen in Camera Roll then crop down to the relevant thumbnails to show the evolution of an idea.

328 - Iterative Abstraction

Day 328. The process of making this image is probably more interesting than the final image itself, although I do quite like the final image. This was created from the museum collage in a recent post. It was manipulated several times in MegaPhoto+, passed through filters and reflection over and over until this end result emerged.

291 - Chromebook Attack!

Day 291. Manga cartoon effects applied to a photo of one of my students using a Chromebook, then passed through some MegaPhoto filters.

290 - It's all Greek to Me

Day 290. Today's create is a piece of Greek inspired virtual pottery, made with Pottery HD, a very interesting iPad app that lets you throw digital clay on a digital potters wheel. After making the vase and decorating it with Greek patterns, I passed it through Megaphoto+ to give it this pop art look.

280 - Create, Mix, Repeat

Day 280. One of the things I've learned about creativity from my friend Cathy Hunt (from the iPad Artroom... Go check it out! Seriously!) is that some really interesting creative acts come from smooshing a created thing through a number of processes. In this design, I took a photo from thecTV screen using an app called CartoonCam, which gives me a graphical b/w design, then using a number of filters inside the Megaphoto+ app to process the image over and over. I applied a kaleidoscope effect to break up the original image, then a colour filter, then another kaleidoscope effect, then a couple more colour filters, and so on...

275 - Pop goes the Canadian

Day 275. A bit of app smashing today. I took a photo of Linda today on the plane coming home from Adelaide, then passed it through the Graffiti Art app, then through about three different filters in MegaPhoto+, to get this final result.

261 - Walk Like An Egyptian

Day 261. Just a silly image of my head superimposed on the body of the Sphinx. Funny because I live in a street called Sphinx Avenue. Image made with MegaPhoto+.

259 - Selfie Style

Day 259. I was in an iPad art workshop today with the yoda of iPad Art herself, Cathy Hunt. Cathy had a ton of interesting ideas as always, and really got me thinking about the notion of iPad workflow, or app smashing, or just applying effects in multiple layers. We had a go of making a selfie, so this one was taken with the camera, drawn and traced using Type Drawing, then had several effects put on it using Megaphoto+.

 

029 - Target Acquired

Day 29. This little video was shot just outside my house using an app called MegaPhoto+. The app is actually a collection of hundreds of really interesting photo and video effects that can be applied directly in-camera and rendered live. For students making videos in class I can see lots of possibilities for making their videos more fun and interesting.
