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.
