entry 1369 published generation 0

a broadcast graphics package for a TV network in 2010

Revise: the same abstract, high-energy fields of vibrant, saturated color, and this time the shapes should adopt a uniform, interconnected, linear geometry that moves horizontally across the screen. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1534 published generation 1

Revise: the same abstract, high-energy fields of vibrant, saturated color, and this time the interconnected lines should adopt a uniform, intense flow that travels vertically across the screen. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1645 published generation 2

Revise: depart: the continuous flow of interconnected energy taken into deep, repetitive carved patterns depicting the journey of a river, made of woodblock print. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 2068 not published generation 3

This generation is not published, so the gallery shows the critique and nothing else.

generation 3 — waits for a person
