This site allows you to create a face with a given set of features to choose from. It's in black and white and has a dot matrix shading quality to it. This face authoring program also lets you scale different facial features. It kind of resembles a police sketch. And when you are finished creating your art, you can save it on the site for all to see. Pretty neat, huh? </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://flashface.ctapt.de/">Check it out!</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5133739448019018182-8867302290105214848?l=designcompass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SilentCryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10375968782136699942noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133739448019018182.post-54770207763814061672009-01-21T00:30:00.008-05:002009-01-21T00:39:20.605-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.jacksonpollock.org/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 245px; height: 220px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YHrYKVzKJGE/SXa0sK33OlI/AAAAAAAAADo/_6VYbjgmje8/s320/Picture+8.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293617082946501202" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">I stumbled across this website that allows you to make your own <a href="http://www.nga.gov/feature/pollock/">Jackson Pollock</a> digital art.

When a new scribble line is created it chooses a few numbers at random that eventually determine what sort of line it will draw. As it begins to draw it fine tunes those values to the type of drawing that you've made. Certain scribbles are better at following straight paths, others are better at outlining curves, and others are better for filling in large areas of color. Because there is randomness built into the program, each scribble is unique.<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5133739448019018182-5660593689821419171?l=designcompass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SilentCryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10375968782136699942noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133739448019018182.post-82369883819927604352009-01-07T00:22:00.004-05:002009-01-07T00:25:33.037-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/helvetica/quiz.html"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 118px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YHrYKVzKJGE/SWQ8Ne-D0JI/AAAAAAAAADY/FowE5oW0At8/s320/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288418064789131410" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: georgia;">This is a fun site to determine what kind of font you would be.
