....



This was the start of an attempt to have more lines that could cross over to give the effect I liked earlier, however it did not work, but i think there is an easier way to get the effect without dividing the screen and using percentages etc to have each line divided.

experiments




In the top sketch I experimented again with strokeWeight which I thought felt too clunky and the lines were not as smooth. The bottom screen shot is not as clear as I have taken while the lines are fading back into position. I upped the speed on the sketch and though it is a little crazy I love how the lines make cool shapes when the fade back to original position.

too many lines?




This is the same as the previous sketch however I have increase the amount of lines from 3 to 5. I think I takes away from the fluidness that I like so much from the previous sketches. I would rather stick to 3 lines.

Back on track..





This is back to my original sort of ideas of fludiness however I have added a fade back to black so that they start and end black which I think has created quite a cool effect flowing into the white. I would like to continue with this aesthetic and see where it goes. I feel as though I am definatley getting closer to the effect I've been trying for.

blue? more lines?


This sketch is quite hard to see, it is the same as the previous sketch however I have increased the number of lines from 3 to 5. It starts to create interesting patterns between the lines when they cross as you can see here slightly. I will try an increased number of lines on a sketch that doesnt have such a big blur of particles and see if this gives the cross over effect I am looking for. I am also not really a fan of this blue colour.

A little colour?





Just a little colour and experimentation to pull away from white, I just thought i would try it with a dull sort of coppery colour. Later perhaps I will experiment with hue and see what sort of nicer colours i can come up with.

experimentation


This experiment is changing the fade so that it appears the lines and particles become larger and then settle back to original thin lines. I like this effect however I am leaning toward the more subtle images  rather than the bolder sketches.
