New design: Sing

Caryn

I have a new design available on TeePublic and Redbubble! It celebrates singing and, subtly, Barbershop harmonies. The four concentric circles represent the Barbershop cone, but looking down from above, with the basses as the foundation, baritones and leads filling out the middle, and the tenors the sparkle on top. Simple, elegant.

Here is the design on TeePublic: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/93871864-sing?store_id=3083518

Sit and Spin

Caryn

I have been designing this graphic in my head for about two years, and have finally made it happen! It is available on Redbubble and TeePublic (which are sister sites, but carry different styles).

Lissajous Figures

Caryn

I’m seriously geeking out with Lissajous figures created by an oscilloscope today. I saw the figures produced on a video that was describing Just Intonation versus Equal Temperament. On my list of graphics to make is a card reading “Sending Healing Vibes” and I’ve been looking for a way to attractively represent sound waves to go with the words. Lissajous figures to the rescue. Based on the oscilloscope output, I drew three figures in Adobe Illustrator, one each for the tonic, dominant, and mediant chords. I placed my text, did a mask onto a gradient rectangle to get the shading, and used Intertwine to let one Lissajous figure wind in and out of the words. I think it makes the words feel wrapped in sound and good vibes, which is what I want to convey in a card that is sending hope for healing.

Illustrator Intertwine

Caryn

I finally had the opportunity to experiment with Adobe Illustrator’s new Intertwine feature. This is game changing. It has reduced my workflow and time invested dramatically when I want to link objects together (which is all the time, I love that Celtic knot/Art Nouveau feel). I appreciate the multiple ways to achieve the intertwine as well, with a mouse-over computer-selected objects, and a manual lasso tool, both of which I found intuitive. I made a Thank You card for Teacher Appreciation week. So excited about how much this helps me create what I love.
