Inspirational Images (Fractals):
Proposal: Use photoshop to make a fractal-like patterned image, but also use symmetry and colour.
I was inspired by designer John Maeda, a few of his designs in particular:
Planning:
Simulating a "fractal" in Photoshop:
Tutorial: https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-simulate-fractals-in-photoshop--psd-340
(Rating: 6.5/10, because it is slightly outdated)
*Taking it my own direction, using tutorial as a loose guide
-Other tutorials existed, but were very confusing and didn't appear helpful
Difficulty for me: 7/10 (Because I'm not good at this kind of stuff)
It isn't a proper fractal technique- that would involve math. (It turned into a pattern, pretty much.)
Notes for me:
*Background colour: go to create new fill or adjustment layer in layer menu bottom center
First circle: Layer-layer style to get to options for circle
-Gradient overlay: half and half option (redgreen)
To merge layers: make all layers you want merged visible and others not, right click on one, merge visible
To adjust colour of object: Image menu, adjustments, hue/saturation
To send to back/bring to front: Image menu, arrange
To flip an object: Edit, transform
Colours used: (hue and saturation from original teal colour, 6adec4)
Blue: +34
Purple:
