For details of the “technical part” of Computer/Digital Graphic,
You can check out our old tutorial online:

Pixel: Something Very Original
As you may know the very basic element of computer/digital graphic is PIXEL, and we are so enjoying the retro culture, why not play with some PIXEL GRAPHIC?
Of course, the most familiar pixel demonstration is Mosaic
Yes, this is Mosaic, it is exactly applying the charatertistic of PIXEL.
Many Artists, no matter media artist or fine artist, has tried to play pixel. This is most expensive way that I have seen ever: Cologne Cathedral, by Gerhard Richter.
We should take a look on the review by Wired Magazine here.
“he used his own 1974 painting 4096 Colors. To create that piece — a 64-by-64 grid of squares — Richter devised a mathematical formula to systematically mix permutations of the three primary colors and gray. Funny coincidence: 4,096 is also the number of “Web-smart” colors that display consistently on older computer screens, a limitation some Web designers still take into account.”
He mentioned the limitation many years ago that most of the “computer-designer” cannot work out a very fine computer graphic, because the resolution of the pixel-width is not deep enough.

But sometime, it is fun for us to play this “ugly-pixel”.
