Remix Project


According to many scientists Human's DNA has 7 codoms meaning that a codom in DNA is basically composed of 3 nucleotides (A,T,G,C) that will be translated into amino acid. This Remix project is an attempt to compare the complicated scientific explanation of humans dna codoms with our most basic fears.

From the creativecommons.org web page, I clicked on the Search for works I can modify, adapt, or build upon option. Then, I found an image called DNA carpet by QwirkSilver. It just got my attention by creating a red carpet based on a universally recognized picture of the DNA double helix. The original image underwent the following transformation using the GIMP program:
Image: Changed the canvas size and adjusted the print resolution.
Colors: invert colors and colorized image.
Light and Shadow: Lighting effects
Filters: Sharpen and edge-detect neon.
Décor: two borders added and blue and one black of different sizes.
Text: different colors of text and font-size added.
