Portrait Of Office Pins

The post got a long with a large number of letters, well, excuse me, I purposely left all the words of the author to fully disclose the essence of creation.Collect and patience in the battle, the information is very helpful and genuine.

Author's words: I can not call himself the inventor of this method of creation - an idea borrowed from the American artist Eric Dreyga. The result - a portrait of the clerical power button was released. Little about the parameters of the product:- 6 colors;- 9600 Press office;- The weight of the buttons around 5 kg.;- Total weight of the paintings for more than 10 kg.;- Dimensions: 950 x 1350 x 34 mm;- Materials: buttons (metal and colored plastic), a sheet of fiberboard, wooden beams, metal hardware, stain, varnish.
1. Photos
Although I draw pretty well, do the portrait with his own hand, would not have dared - the camera still somehow makes the image better. Therefore, the picture is a photograph that I liked. Just copy it from "classmates". That is convenient - a good solution here was not very important. The sheer size of the portrait in pixels - only 80 to 120.

2. Scheme
Despite the fact that a journalist to be witty wrote: "The talent of Eric is a brilliant perception of color" is complete nonsense. His talent was only in perseverance, which, in turn, depends on motivation. Incidentally, it is our main difference with him - we have it different. This is how advertisers and spin doctors: the first - this is when "money", the second - when "in love". Here is no brilliant talent is not necessary - of course he, like me, for the base took photos, and make them ready-made schemes, such as those that use the hard-working pensioner for embroidery. For the development of the scheme had to download half a dozen programs for the production of patterns for embroidery, but neither has a simple, seemingly function - to set an image in six colors desired resolution. In the end everything was simple: almost by accident they found these features in one notorious photo editor. We had to just index the color, and cut the whole range of up to six: black, white, red, yellow, green, blue. And then adjust the dispersion - the penetration of the colors in halftone and color transitions. The scheme was ready.
