\"Anaglyph-A-GIF<\/a>

DRAFT Badges by @aforgrave (NOTE that the lens colours have been corrected now read Red-Cyan)<\/p><\/div>\n

In the depths of meticulous attention<\/a> that supported the exploration of my initial Anaglyph-a-GIF<\/strong> process this week, I managed to publish several pieces (to three different sites) with a glaring error in spelling in all of them. Introduced in an original source file and then copied across several versions, an incorrect spelling of Magenta<\/em> smiled out at me through multiple stages of the production process. It was not until the end had arrived and I finally sat back from the screen, that I noticed the error. At that point, spent, I lamented to Melissa Techman<\/strong> (@mtechman<\/a>), “As simple a fix as that may seem, it is buried deep in several files. It will wait until later. ;-)”<\/p>\n

And waited it has.<\/p>\n

In the interim, urged on by the pleasure and satisfaction of exploring the process of creating animated anaglyphs (see yesterday’s post, “George Wither, page 8, ‘Boo!'”<\/a>) from the  illustrations the 1635 publication, Emblemes, Illustrations by George Wither<\/strong>, I have moved another image from static scan in PDF form towards a renewed piece of digital, interactive art.<\/p>\n

However, in preparing to share the result, and with the intentions of developing several additional pieces in the coming days, I revisitied my earlier files with the intention of adjusting the spelling error. I was unhappy with the pixellated text output from photoshop, and so I fiddled in Illustrator and Fireworks to find a better result. Deciding that the “view with Red-Cyan Cyan-Magenta<\/del> 3D glasses” notice needed to be perceived as being separate from the art piece itself, I also experimented with the font, the glasses image, a border, and some colour schemes.<\/p>\n

Badges for 3D Art Pieces<\/h4>\n

In looking to review the badges in the context where they will potentially viewed, I decided to compare them in a web browser, and shortly thereafter, this post was done.<\/p>\n

My thoughts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The black border conflicts with the black outline of the glasses in versions 1.<\/li>\n
  2. A grey border reduces the conflict, and de-emphasizes the border.<\/li>\n
  3. A grey background helps the badge to stand out from a white background colour.<\/li>\n
  4. The black border with a grey background isn’t so bad as the white.<\/li>\n
  5. I’m not 100% sold on the bold font as it has a slight distressed character that looks a bit fuzzy at this size. We’ll see.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the end, there will be a plain “Anaglyph” badge for static 3D images, and an “Anaglyph-a-GIF” badge for animated 3D images.   I think I’m tending to go with this design. Input?<\/p>\n

    \"3D<\/a><\/p>\n

    Mariana Funes<\/strong> (@mdvfunes<\/a>) has this afternoon started to collect the George Wither GIFs in a #4life<\/strong> Jux gallery<\/a>. You can also see more curated by MBS<\/strong> (@mbransons<\/a>) and Ryan Seslow<\/strong> (@ryanseslow<\/a>) on the GIFfight tumblr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    July 26th NOTE: Subsequent to publishing this post, I have poked around a little bit more into 3D glasses and have decided that the lenses should be identified as Red-Cyan. So I’ve edited the badges and will adjust as necessary.<\/p>\n
