Metalheart is Endeavor
“Illustrations, compositions, graphic effects or art?” The graphics themselves can’t really be defined; that isn’t the purpose of Metalheart. Metalheart is not just about designing with new technology, it’s the culmination of communal artistic endeavor – based on a unique, optimistic vision of the future of art. Metaheart is so much more than a design style, it is an artistic movement. An entire community of artists and designers became inspired, energized and connected by this movement.
The compositions in this book are my own explorations in Metalheart. I never quite got ahold of an emBox CD (yet), so the assets involved in creating my Metalheart have been obtained through the web, or created from scratch by yours truly. Software used includes: JWildfire and Chaotica – for some backgrounds and textures; Blender – for 3D assets; and Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign – for final design and layout. Images, overlays, textures and fonts were found throughout the internet.
