I’ve often used photographs as inspiration for color palettes in my design work, but have never thought of using it as the final product!
Gustavo Garcia’s Web site Susu allows users to create custom art
prints based on patterns generated from their personal photos. This work will be showcased at New York’s School of Visual Arts “Potential
Energy: 19 Designers Set Their Ideas in Motion,” an exhibition of
products, campaigns and services developed by graduating Design MFA
students. Unfortunately Susu is still just a prototype and not commercialized,
one of the goals of the show however is to help students get attention
and help bring these projects closer to commercial reality.

This is going to be a fantastic show!

This is so inspiring!
Isn’t this just the mosaic filter in photoshop. I use it all the time to research color palettes – plus isn’t this filter copyrighted by adobe. Very murky water.
