WORKS-REFINEMENTS

So as you can see, the chosen patterns for my final submission are quite different from the ones that i represented at the internim presentation. And the reason why was that i thought these below were more interesting. They did share a main theme ( straight lines, black and white ) and worked quite well as a set. I am still choosing what to be in the final set to submit though.
I tried color a couples of time but I think they don't work as strong as these black-and-white-only patterns bellow.

PATTERN NUMBER 1 - The very first pattern i made while playing around with Processing. I did change some number in the code to made it look better but the results turned out not very good. Therefore I decided to use the original one.

PATTERN NUMBER 2 : Actually based on PATTERN NUMBER 1 with more lines added

SIDE DEVELOPMENT-ERROR-REVERSE COLOR
The 2 (one on the left, one on the center) were actually the results of my fault in using loop_ however the results turned out quite interesting.The one that i called REVERSE COLOR is on the right hand side.I think this one looks better than the original one (above)

ALTERNATIVE SET - based on pattern number 2
The more refinement was made on pattern number 2, the more interesting result it turned out. I really really like these 4 patterns below and decide to use them as a different set. Although they look similar but each one gives me a different feeling.

PATTERN NUMBER 3 - I think this one is my second favourite. I like how the straight lines can make such an interesting patterns when they come closer together.

ALTERNATIVE CHOICE
REVERVE COLOR

ZOOOOOM IN

PATTERN NUMBER 4 - These are the newest patterns in my collection - The results of me cutting half the number of lines of PATTERN NUMBER 2 - I filled the pattern with both black and white background and white and black line. I think that the patterns on the left ( black line and white background ) is more interesting to look at ( Can you see the white diagonal square pattern? Interesting aye!! ) compared to the right one ( the diagonal square pattern doesnt appear ).

Here you can spot the differnces by yourself :)

Here is the 4 patterns that i chose to be my final patterns to submit. The works don't end here though. Still need refinement and i still have some other potiental patterns that can be used to replaced any one of these.

The realationship between the 4 are quite strong as well. I think these 4 will make a good set.

What has been wrong???

1-
smooth();
stroke(0);
int y1,y2;
for(y1=0; y1<=50; y1=y1+5){
    for(y2=50; y2>=0; y2=y2-5){
      line(0,y1,50,y2);
}
}

VS.

2-
   smooth();
   stroke(0);
   line(0,0,50,50);
   line(0,5,50,45);
   line(0,10,50,40);
   line(0,15,50,35);
   line(0,20,50,30);
   line(0,25,50,25);
   line(0,30,50,20);
   line(0,35,50,15);
   line(0,40,50,10);
   line(0,45,50,5);
   line(0,50,50,0);

I tried to re-write the #2 codes using variable and loop and the result was the #1 codes but somehow they didn't draw the same patterns when i pressed the play button. Maybe there are some problems in my variable and loop?? ( i have checked for syntax error and there was none )

I tried to figure out by myself but still cannot find the reason. Help me please!

I found some really interesting patterns while wandering on the net to find ideas

AMAZING aye!!

_All credits go to their rightful owners. I dont own or create any of these

Tutor's feedback and review:

The tutors were completely right that the 4 sketches didnt really go together as a set. The reason was simply that they were not made as a set at the first time ( it was my fault to not read the assignment hand-out carefully ).

I am thinking about not using those sketches as the final submission anymore. I will refine some of my early development in processing instead as their relationship to each other are quite strong.

Well, better off to ask the tutors for opinions.

4 Sketches - These are the 4 sketches prepared for the internim design.

INTERNIM PRESENTATION

At the internim presentation: I ve showed the tutors some of my points in the the wallpaper design challenge:
-My idea at the time: i want to make something cool with a level of complexity that brings optical illusion to the viewers by using only simple geometry and straight lines.

-Where does the idea come from?: Well, basically, the idea came suddenly while i was playing around in processing. I remembered i ve made a pattern that was quite interesting to look at using only straight lines. ( link: http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=23035 )

For my personal taste, I always like the patterns that play with your sense. They are all attractive to me. And also, i love the complex patterns ( not complicated ones ).They are definately more to look at.

-Source of inspiration: Actually, i looked up for the inspiration after i got my idea, not before it. I think the works of M.C.Escher, Jen Stark and Vasco Mourao are all very inspiring to me although they are not really related to my idea. Also, i found the string art is quite interesting.

Here's some example links:
