Abstract:
"The core concept of this project is to try to present a literary work visually, and how to better improve the beauty of the picture while ensuring that the technical performance meets the basic requirements. This article describes several modern aesthetic forms I use in my project, including minimalism, repetition, and rhythm. I also introduced the software and workflow I used in this project. With the continuous development of the current technology, the threshold for entry for artists is gradually reduced. Therefore, as an artist who wants to achieve a higher artistic level, it is necessary to improve the aesthetic ability. This article and the project are my explorations of this goal."
