SSWI — When in doubt, buff it out.

So my good friend and fellow artist Erik Sagen has been posting his incredible Brushes compositions to Flickr lately and they are pretty amazing.

Looking at them, I began to wonder if this could be a new medium of digital art, and if so, how would one go about reproducing them in sizes larger than the iPhone screen.

So, after reflecting on my entry “Visual Harmony in Webdesign”, I got to thinking. It is all well and good to complain bitterly about the lack of artisitic principles that are found in some of todays design, but what does it really accomplish?

Nothing. So today I am starting a multi-part series covering some of the priciples found in the world of fine art, that can be applied to our web design. First up is Rhythm, or Art Rhythm.
