I was there for a week, back in melbourne now though :,)

Not really that I know of, I learned on the job. Study Bluey backgrounds I guess hahah.

Just personal taste 🫣

Repetition is inherent. You need it to create contrast.

Noise is basically detail or density of information

But I avoided using the word ‘detail’ because detail has connotations of effort, value and intentionality.

Noise can be the texture created by brushstrokes, or the visual noise of a dense paragraph, or a crowd in a photograph.

I agree!!! Contrast =/= just value

Though tbf, the audience generally won’t have the same limbic/emotional response to each of these gestalt elements.

Some of them - like value - are punchier and more attention grabbing than others - edges are pretty subtle and lower impact for instance

YES!!!

It’s all about establishing a norm/pattern with these elements throughout your image, and then breaking them on purpose to draw attention!

another from the spiderverse colourscript (artstation.com/artwork/rRJYOL)

fantastic contrasts of:
- value
- shape
- noise
- hue
- saturation

Back to controlling the eye with contrast,

An example (artstation.com/artwork/vxvxO)
What makes you look at the focal points(s)?

For this, the big ones are:
- hue
- value
- grouping
- saturation
- scale
- edges

Using multiple of these aspects at once is impactful, but can create stylistic dissonance.

It's worth considering what you want your overall impact to be, and locking a few aspects in. Bluey for instance locks in rounded square-ification as a shape language to keep a friendly vibe.

NOTE this guide neglects to mention bit-less bridles/mechanical hackamores. These look similar to an English bridle, but cross under the jaw, or have a mechanical way of applying pressure.

These specific ones are a relatively recent phenomenon at <100yo,

reupload from that other hellsite so it doesn't get lost.

It has made me super grateful for the lovely friends in my life who took me home from hospital (and supervised me) and got me groceries. (And all the more aware of how I need to make sure I’m checking in to take care of them too.)

But man, what a lonely experience it has been :(

I’ve had a triple whammy of leg injury, bacterial infection that took me to the ED, and now septum surgery. I just want to be babied and not have to get my own water.
