One Maze - Many designs - the first 5 experiments

This is a continuation of of maze design experiments. Read about it in post #1, One Maze - Many designs, or just enjoy the ride.

The original maze:

Simple Maze

I used Inkscape for these first 5 options to redesign it.

  • The first is a filter to make the maze blurry and it did that quite well. I hate it. It is hard to look at.

  • The second was made by reversing the image colors. White pathways on a black background. It looks good unless you are paying for ink when you print it.

  • The third was made using something Inkscape calls the Bloom Filter. I don’t think it works here, but I think it might help make a close-up of water look more realistic.

  • The fourth is my favorite filter, called Dark Glass, but I think it looks like snow ! Now, I have to find an opportunity to use it in that way !

  • The fifth is a filter called fat oil and it makes the maze melt. Fun. I would use this to show the distorted reflection of something in the water like a face.

I should mention that all versions kept the maze a maze. Nothing got distorted so much that it became unsolvable or something else entirely.
