SVG- Super Vector Girl!

Posted on Jun 29th, 2008 by Quiche : Nifty Oddball Quiche




There was Harold and his purple crayon, then there was SUPER VECTOR GIRL with her pen tablet of fury! Sexy Benday dots! Roy Lichtenstein would be proud! I had fun with tweaking my icon, which I originally intended to look like this, but was still new at the Inkscape thang. With SVG, I can take a previously created image and create countless transformations, since every line, object, shape, etc., is editable. I created the dot pattern first (it isn't a filter), and as I didn't have a way to turn the dot patterns by degree which is how one gets the composite colours, I had to eye these, and I used CYMK (cyan-yellow-magenta-black), but also red and dark blue, which is also commonly used in Benday dot/ halftone printing, varying the dot size and transparency of the colours, and offset some of the areas to give it that newspaper comic strip quality.
