Kaleidoscope #1
For this Kaleidoscope I used an online Photoshop called Sumo paint. In Sumo paint there is a symmetry tool which created what is above. However after I finished it in Sumo paint I opened it in photoshop to make it symmetrical in the four quadrants. The tool used in Sumo paint uses rotational symmetry because everything is equal in every spot in a circular pattern. In photoshop the type of symmetry I used was mirroring the image over the X and Y axis.
Kaleidoscope #2
I did the same this for Kaleidoscope #2 as Kaleidoscope #1. I made it in Sumo paint and then made it look like a kaleidoscope in photoshop. I used the rotational symmetry in sumo paint and then in photoshop I duplicated the layer and placed it inside itself to give it a pattern look like a kaleidoscope.
Kaleidoscope #3
For this kaleidoscope I found a picture in the internet and took a part of it and made a kaleidoscope out of it. This is one of my favorites because it has a great pattern.
Kaleidoscope #4
This pattern was originally cool so i used it in a kaleidoscope. I made a right triangle so I could pattern it across the X and Y axis.
Boston Strong Kaleidoscope
My inspiration for the kaleidoscope was the Boston Redsox winning the World Series. I took the logo and manipulated it as many ways as I could think. Because I didn't make a selection out of this the kaleidoscope is boring a plain, but I like the idea of it so I kept it.
Sumo paint Kaleidoscopes
The two kaleidoscopes above were made on Sumo paint. I only used the rotational symmetry tool and they have a great pattern. If you turn off the gravity feed and use random colors this is the outcome. The slower you move your mouse the smaller the line is. I thought this website was really helpful because it helped me make two kaleidoscopes for the project.
