Word Grain guide

Three looks

Each picture below was made in Word Grain. Everything not listed stays as the room opens.

Frost in slanted tags

A young face with white curls and round dark glasses, built from slanted word tags that interlock in fine rows, cream and grey on black — Frost with Slant tags and 120 rows, its colours found in the picture.

Slant leans every tag, so neighbours interlock exactly and the rows read like woven cloth. More rows make smaller tags that hold the curls, the glasses and the scarf.

Try Arrow or Hex under Tag shape, or Bold under Words on the tags for words in strong contrast.

Gaze in Indigo

A face looking out, made of word tags in deep blue, violet, rose and cream, the word for love in many languages on the tags — Gaze in the words of love, with the Indigo palette.

A preset palette is laid on the picture by lightness, each ink taking an equal share, so any photo reads in any palette. Indigo runs from deep blue to a warm cream.

Try Saffron or Forest under Palette, or True colour for the picture's own colours.

Elder, as it opens

An old face built from rows of small word tags in four flat tones found in the picture, the words for grandparents in many languages on the tags — Elder, as the room opens: four tones found in the picture, on the darkest tone.

The room's own poster: a portrait in the elders' words, its colours found in the picture and spread from dark to light, so every tone reads against the next.
