339 of 365 is made of tiny circles #Inkscape #design

Made of circles
Made of circles

I was inspired to do this by a picture I saw on ffffound — I started with a silhouette, made a small circle, then used Inkscape’s spraypaint tool to fill in the silhouette with clones of the small circle. Because the spraypaint tool is kind of messy and spontaneous even with the tightest settings, most of the work here was moving wayward circles back into the edges of the silhouette, as well as resizing and placing circles to follow the contour of it.

I’m about the biggest fanboy that Google has, but I’ll also be the first one to tell you it’s kind of scary how much they know about me. I believe that they totally live up to their idea of “don’t be evil” and I love the things that they are doing to know me better, but it does make me hard to sell their ideas when the things that they do have a high creepy factor. I’m okay with a little creepy if it helps me get to my info quicker. I’m okay with Google knowing who I am.

Asked nicely

I just thought this was a funny way to arrange text, and was looking for a reason for the pieces to be blocking each other.

A moral compass: You’re somewhere in the middle by John LeMasney via 365sketches.org #design #venn #diagram

Here is a Venn diagram that shows what most of us are doing, morally speaking. I believe that we all have all the ability of all the best and all the worst of humanity within us, and that aside from our cumulative experiences and resulting mental health, the only deciding factor in our morality is choosing to follow our self-determined moral compass. Here’s to us choosing to do the right thing.

So, you have likely heard the saying that the pen in mightier than the sword. You can make your own joke here if you’d like.

I don’t know that I can explain how I came up with this, except to say that there are sometimes people in this world who would love to run you through their hair. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
