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...

202 - Harbour Mirror

Day 202. This image was created using an iPad app called Mirrored, which can reflect an image on several axes. I took this photo of Sydney harbour from a helicopter and used it as the basis for this mirrored image.

047 - Ornamentality

Day 47. These pretty mandala designs were made with an iPad app called iOrnament. It lets you create symmetrical patterns with amazing sophistication, especially if you splurge out for the 99c in-app purchase to unlock the extra features. I created one basic round mandala design then applied some randomising effects to it, to create the four variations you see here. All four of these design variations are based the same basic pattern.

Once I made all four of them I arranged them in this 4-up grid design using another app called Diptic, which can arrange multiple images in a single framed picture.

 

019 - Amaziograph Patterns

Day 19. I spent most of today working on the backyard renovation (coming soon as a Daily Create hopefully) so today's effort is a fairly simple one. This pattern was made using an iPad app called Amaziograph. It's got several very cool symmetry and patterning options, just pick one and draw away... It would be very useful when teaching kids about symmetry, patterning, repetition, etc.

Thanks to Cathy Hunt from the iPad Artroom for putting me onto this app.
