Solwhi Park
Hi, I’m Solwhi Park, a Graphic Artist.
I’ve been focusing on pixel sorting, a category of glitch art, using After Effects and ASDF.
Currently, I’m using 3D programs such as Blender and Substance to create 3D artwork.
In particular, I’m fascinated by the dynamic and 3D nature of Chrometype, and I’ve been creating impactful work by adding Chrome Effects to texts, posters, and other designs we often encounter daily.
In this class, you’ll learn about the recent Chrometype popular overseas and how to create various artworks.
You’ll also learn to use Blender, a free tool, to add Chrome Effects to your work.
