@annotationskit Spirograph Rosette

Back in the ████████ training I had thought about this rosette spirograph. (while my method of rendering it is anything but the spirograph) I used to think about the mathematics of rendering it each time I got bored. Today, waiting in the office of █████████ waiting for my destiny to be revealed, I finally made the move to make it and the results came to be more than amazing. Not only it looks fantastic (and I had so many plans to use it instead of ✤ and ✦), giving it wrong data for testing (negative angles), made me realize I have created the SpongeBob’s ocean flowers you see in the backgrounds of the animation and that made me so happy! The toolkit I have in AnnotationsKit is getting more and more exciting.

Before I finally made it, I was jotting down more and more of the star, until finally I noticed I can open up my laptop and make it real!

Quotes & Excerpts

Professionalism is environmental. Amateurism is anti-environmental. Professionalism merges the individual into patterns of total environment. Amateurism seeks the development of the total awareness of the individual and the critical awareness of the groundrules of society. The amateur can afford to lose. The professional tends to classify and to specialize, to accept uncritically the groundrules of the environment.

MAESTRO MCLUHAN & QUENTIN FIORE

Science-fiction writing today presents situations that enable us to perceive the potential of new technologies. Formerly, the problem was to invent new forms of labor-saving. Today, the reverse is the problem. Now we have to adjust, not to in-vent. We have to find the environments in which it will be possible to live with our new inventions. Big Business has learned to tap the s-f writer.

MAESTRO MCLUHAN & QUENTIN FIORE

As new technologies come into play, people are less and less convinced of the importance of self-expression. Teamwork succeeds private effort.

MAESTRO MCLUHAN & QUENTIN FIORE

You see, Dad, Professor McLuhan says the environment that man creates becomes his medium for defining his role in it. The invention of type created linear, or sequential, thought, separating thought from action. Now, with TV and folk singing, thought and action are closer and social involvement is greater. We again live in a village Get it?
