Creating Art with Adobe AIR and CS3
October 28th, 2007 by Ryan Stewart
Eric Natzke is one of the leading interactive artist of our day so it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that he’s using AIR to help him make his creative visions come to life. Eric’s been working on a project with AIR and CS3 in which he takes photographs and creates very cool surreal artwork based on them. Using the colors from the image and a series of concentric circles, he creates a very cool looking version of the original photograph.
He describes his process a bit in the comments of this Flickr photo but he essentially manipulates the photo in Flash CS3. He then uses AIR to export those as PNGs. Because it’s all dynamic and he’s making sure he has super-high res (400 megs) AIR lets him get all of his artwork out of Flash. He then combines them using Photoshop. Very, very cool use of CS3 and AIR together. I want him to do some of my photos.
Very cool technique!
I often do the same technique non-digitally with my paintings, in that I begin with actual photographs and warp and twist the forms.
Have to try that one out.
