Here at Motiv Designs, we create many types of fractal art and fractal designs. Many fractals were discovered after Benoît's initial discovery and we try to bring all forms of fractal geometry into the spotlight. Special thanks to all of the many mathematicians that discovered these great geometric masterpieces. There are programs available today that allow you to layer several fractals as a single image, just like you would in any image editing software. The benefit to these programs is that they actually work the equations and render the images together very nicely. This creates a great spectacle for the eyes as fractals converge together to create amazing designs. We hope that you are amazed with some of the art that we have created here. Make sure to check out our some of the great fractal wallpapers we have come up with from our designs, and our fractal MySpace layouts as well. Stay tuned for our fractal zoom movie gallery coming soon!

Fractal History
Fractals were discovered in 1975 by Benoît Mandelbrot. Well, maybe not discovered, but finally put into words. He explained them as being geometric shapes that when divided into parts, each part would be a smaller replica of the whole shape. He came up with the term "Fractal" as the new scientific term for this mathematical expression. The word is actually an adaptation of the Latin word fractus. The latin word fractus means "broken" or "fractured". The concepts behind fractals had been around for centuries but it was not until Mandelbrot had his realization that these great mathematical masterpieces were discovered. Fractals can also be found in nature, which is where Benoît's first research began. His investigational report, "How Long Is the Coast of Britain? Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension", was the first step in his eventual discovery of fractals.
Mandlebrot Fractals
Mandlebrot fractals were discovered by Benoît Mandelbrot. They are the most well known fractals as he is the "father" of fractal geometry, so they remain the most popular overall. Their shape is similar to a turtle with many legs and very large head. There are programs available that allow you to layer several "brots" as they are called normally as a single image. This creates a great spectacle for the eyes as fractals converge together to create amazing designs. Known as "brots" in the fractal community, you will find many designs in our Mandlebrot fractal gallery.
Julia Fractals
Julia Fractals were discovered by Gaston Julia and praised by Mandlebrot after his discovery. Julia's principle's were close to the findings of another great mathematician of that era, Pierre Fatou. They spent a great deal of time working together to come up with what is known as the, Generalized Fatou Julia theorem. Motiv Designs is a big fan of Juilia fractals and will be showing you just how interesting fractal art can be with the Julia set. Check back frequently for updates to the Julia fractals gallery.
Newton Fractals
Newton Fractals were derived from "Isaac Newton's method". They create a totally different look than most fractal sets. Newton fractals are just proof that Isaac Newton was a great mathematician for his time. We highlight many Newton fractals in our gallery. They have a very crisp and clean look to their geometric shape. Keep your eyes peeled for new additions to the Newton fractals gallery.
