the vectorisation of the puravida logo

So you start with a basic image, which grains up as you zoom in, losing edge definition due to pixelation, for example. The edges are then redrawn.

In this case, the borders are defined by switching from one colour to another.
Subsequently, the study, or cloning, of the original colour applied to the contour fill defining a single pigment shade takes place.
In the final result, despite the original design (centre), created and executed by an esteemed artist and tattoo artist, one can see the difference from the vector design, which fails to perfectly recreate the original nuances, yet still retains the feeling that the vector design exactly reproduces the raster image.
The difference is that the vectorial design allows the logo to be reproduced on any medium (sign, gadget, stikers, etc.) while maintaining the definition of the image always perfect, whether you zoom in or out.

Camiseta project:

One day, laughing and joking with friends from the club, we created Narcoiris by combining the creative ideas of each person present.
The homosexual superhero who fights stupidity and evil with his flower gun and rainbow generator, very fearless and very relaxed, determined on the goal.

The digital vector medium allows each element of the design to be modified by acting on its properties.
It is possible to modify the outline by making it thicker or finer, or in a color other than black.
I can change the color filling of the outline, I can blend objects and superimpose them in transparency, I can edit, enlarge and refine my design endlessly.
By quickly modifying colors I can quickly create several images that when scrolled in sequence give a dynamic result and no longer a static one.

In the video, sequences were played where the colors only alternate in two distinct areas of the design.
In the same sequences, by quickly changing other color fills, the effect of movement can be progressively increased.
Other effects can be applied to achieve movement, such as moving the lianas in the background or alternating the bullets of the flower shooter.
As the project had no specific marketing purpose, I decided to develop it quickly without spending more time on it than it deserved. I therefore sketched the subject with pencil on paper, worked on the refinement directly on a vector drawing and quickly created the background using pieces of existing drawings combined with new drawing areas obtained by superimposing the vector drawing on a raster image.

With Chromazoom I wish to bring as many people as possible closer to the decision to vectorise a photographic image.
Being a progressive process where we work area by area, it is possible to decide to vectorise only a portion of an image and complete the final frame we choose (the limits of the design) either with portions of other photos rendered vectorial, or with new objects created to customise the graphic result we want to obtain.
I could create a family photo by taking the image of each relative represented by a separate photo, inserting the family home as the background and leaving the details of the original bases unchanged.
I would have an image that is obviously not real, but composed of real elements juxtaposed with customisations
(clouds, signs, pets or not, unreal objects and so on).

The surplus comes from the fact that the vector design can be cloned to make changes, updates, experiments and graphic effects.
Depending on the accuracy of the vector rendering process, I can then print my image wherever I wish, choosing the format that best suits my needs, without the worry of losing definition in zooming.
