Symmetry Final
I decided to leave this work in tact. I love the radiation of colour that overlays my pattern, this creates depth and the idea of an explosion. I added the birds to create a sense of depth, scale and to add some sort of meaning to the surrounding.
Rhythm / Repitition Final
I tried getting my hands on some of those old school 3D glasses so I could try and legitimately make this work 3D. Unfortunately was able to in time, however, this work still appeals to me regardless. The pattern looks like an optical illusion and the red/blue colour shift adds to the aesthetic.
Proportion / Composition Final
This work has been developed from my previous attempt. The shading on the walls and from the figure have been adjusted and it definitely looks more realistic now. The image is now also copyright free! Inspiration from this work came from compact living apartments, although with a much better view.
Contrast Final
I found this model hard to place into context, I really wanted to do something satelite related but I didn't want to result to the obvious. I settled on this desert road as I wanted to continue with the contrast idea shown with big small and natural vs man made.
Hierarchy Final
I haven't edited this work from my last development - I'm happy with the implied movement that is created and the subtle hierarchy from the centre outwards. This was definitely inspired by my childhood love of Star Wars.
Datum Final
This was another model I found hard to place. I really wanted to create something fun and playful but in doing it was hard to maintain datum characteristics. This work is effective because it is simple and plays with perspective, the shadows cast allude to the datum aspect of 'from a point.' Inspiration from this work came from the bad weather my home town is currently experiencing.
Figure Ground
I symplified my 3D model to really emphasize figure ground through the use of contrast, black vs white. I think the simplicity of this work is effective and the idea that 'ignorance is bliss' is expressed through the lone character, comfortable in his own world.
