Edit: Use the stupid shader!

Stupid Shader

I (Thai) came up with an initial art style… This may change though but was what I came up with.

• Text: Cut out black text.
  • Typeface: Karla Bold
• Background: See below on how to create it.

Creating background image

I used a technique called “Gradient Mapping” to map lightness to color domain.

Using GIMP

1. Open an image, scale it down to 1920 pixels wide and desaturate it. Use any desaturation basis.

2. To give each color an equal chance of appearing, use the Equalize filter.

3. Use the Gradient tool and configure as follows

   • Foreground color: #FA709A
   • Background color: #FEE140
   • Gradient: FG to BG (HSV clockwise hue)

4. Perform a Gradient Map. You can try Inverting the colors before doing Gradient Map.

5. Convert to Indexed color mode, generating an optimum palette of 8 colors.

6. Export the image. And there you have it.
