Design Statement:

Our image uses a greyscale background to focus the attention of the viewer toward the center of the image. The elliptical blend adds contrasting color to the focal point of the picture. The colors in the blend follow the complementary color scheme (blue-ish to orange-ish) and the colors in the central fractal are complementary to each other and also analogous to the scheme of the background blend. The controlled randomness slightly affects the colors in the collective schemes. We kept all shapes somewhat elliptical to emphasize a smooth "edgeless" feel to the image.

Technique Statement:

We used a large greyscale spirograph for the background similar to the assignment 12 shapes. We used a color blend using region.compute-pixels! as well as an imbedded conditional to specify the elliptical shape. Our foreground shape is a fractal (from assignment 15). We modified the procedure to make each subset of the fractal an ellipse instead of a rectangle. We used modulo and the (n) input to determine the color of the blend. We added certain values to each moduloed component to ensure a certain shade of orange. We created a list of blues and used modulo (n) to list-ref a color for the fractal from that list. 

Recommended values of n:

We found that any multiple of 11 gave a nice color scheme and multiples of 6 and 4 were also quite strong. We think those multiples are best because we like the corresponding colors of blue from the list.
