Evolving from [015](/015), the strokes on each layer are positioned using noise, creating clusters of strokes across the design.

This also introduces a generative colour palette; the hue and brightness are selected using noise, light layers use a 'multiply' blend mode and dark colours use 'screen', creating really unique and beautiful intersections between the strokes.

I found this much more pleasant to solve than [015](/015) because of how the colours are grouped across the design.

In this design the longest strokes are transparent, leaving thick empty trails in a design otherwise crowded with curves.

I thought leaving gaps in the design would make it really clear which pieces border the empty strokes and provide a skeleton to work from, but the solid green pieces were the hardest to match up (in retrospect, a very obvious consequence), so solving the puzzle relied on finding the thickest pieces and working outwards from there.

Layers of strokes are composited over one another with slightly altered flow fields; the blend modes of each layer create a vivid palette where the colours intersect.

Although the layered effect created a beautiful design it made for a really tricky jigsaw. Finding the thickest strokes to follow was confused by all of the stacked strokes, and it was impossible to group pieces by colour as the colours are spread across the design.
