Mapping – With Flash!

If it weren’t for me injuring my back over the weekend, the images that I have used would be a lot better than what I am having at the moment. Sunny and clear-blue skies, the weather was perfect for photography over the weekend…

Here is something I did with the images I took before injuring my back:

Taking this image -

And changing to this -

Pixelated Image Example

Upon ‘pixelating’ and simplifying the image, I then proceed to choosing three colours that either stads out or occurs the most across the image. It is important that I note this down, the last thing I want is someone coming-up to me and accuse me of making the colours up; that alone is the last thing I intend to do.

Below is an image of the colour tabbing process:

You might ask what will I be doing with the collected data on the colours for each images? As I was looking for resources on how to present the source, I have came across this nifty tutorial on colour bubbles. I quite like the effect in which the file generates and instead of just presenting a static library/collection of the images, this effect done in Flash might make it slightly more interesting. Instead of it being spheres, I will have the colours bursting out in squares instead. And every now and then I come across some sites where the mouse cursor actually does something ‘interesting’, perhaps if I could find my way around and incorporate this effect into the site…
