06 ::: Space This week's topic is the creation of space through visual design. Using the same 5-10 basic forms, create four separate visual sketches that create a sense of different kinds of space: flat space, depth, open space, and constrained space. You may vary attributes like color, brightness, scale, position, orientation, texture, etc. |

FLAT

I started with squares as my forms because they are so versatile. They can be turned into boxes, walls, rooms, objects... I added color and moved the squares behind eachother to create depth. For open space, I extracted the color fills. I wanted these boxes to hang like glass ornaments. This is the second variation on the ornaments idea. By using perspective and scale, I turned each square around as if they are dangling. The positions of these squares are starting to resemble ornaments and the natural way they hang. I use the rows of boxes below for contraint space, but by adding a horizon to the top half, I found it can also represent open space. To illustrate contraint, I created a box or a room. I took the box idea and set them in rows to show the contrained space between the boxes. The above blue boxes didn't quite get the contrained feeling, so I changed the colors and increased the height. The result is something more onminous and constricting. |
