Geometrical compositions, a tribute to Saul Bass

haschdl

I've always been fascinated by the simplicity and elegance of Saul Bass's work, and got inspiration to recreate some of his work using Processing. I have so far three drawings, which I called Vertigo I, II and III, which you can see in [Github]. (https://haschdl.github.io/generative/p5jsVertigo/) I'm also adding the generated images here. Feel free to comment, and to remix!

Wonderful!

Do you know Naum Gabo? He is pre-digital but made great 3D scultptures

He's great

He did e.g. thin wires (hundreds of them) on a metal skeleton:

I really enjoy the Vertigo film poster remake -- in particular the animation of it being generated.

It might be fun to make a genetic algorithm that runs your generator over and over with different angles and pen widths etc. and scores its fitness by comparing parts of the generated image (like the white edge) to the same part of the original poster. Evolve a nearly perfect match....

Thank you for your feedback @jeremydouglas, I appreciate it! That's a cool idea, I need to learn a few new tricks in order to accomplish that :)
