Day 4
Lesson 4: Texture
Forgive me, this comes a bit late, but nonetheless, it counts for Day 4. I got caught up in messing around with Adobe After Effects, <3. I finished my first video, thanks togreyscalegorilla. I might post it later but first!!! What I learned today:
A texture: can be physical or virtual, can be felt, can be seen, different textures reflect different amounts of light, can be manipulated, can be captured, can be created, can be destroyed.
Basically, texture can be anything:
“Texture has a genuine, visceral, wholly seductive capacity to reel us in and hold us.”
-Graphic Design : The New Basics
Texture is also relative, can be created using points, lines, and planes of differing ~. Haha. I was reading through the lesson and found that each person, each being, is really just a texture. Put one texture next to another and you’ll see the differences, the similarities. So take this as you will, but create your own texture. Let it be different from the people around you. Look at other textures, see what you like, see what you don’t like.
Hopefully, if you haven’t already, you’ll know what textures work for you and which ones don’t. Maybe one day you’ll find a texture that’s perfect for you and then you’ll find one that when you’re next to it, makes you feel all jittery inside, one that’ll send the chills up and down your spine.
Some textures in life, you probably won’t be able to handle. I know that for sure. And some textures, you can’t live without; in a way, you might just need them. You might just find yourself making friends with the texture you need. Oh wait, that didn’t match up. =P Or maybe it did.
But until next time.
