Research

Order

The arrangement of things in relation to each other according to a particular pattern or sequence.

  • Use pattern to show the order and make it more clean
  • Use balance to show organization
  • Create line with the squares because that creates a sense of order

Increase

To slowly make greater in it’s size or intensity.

  • Scale is the most important element. Can help you literally increase the size
  • Rhythm and movement can help give off the illusion that the squares are literally increasing during the “picture”
  • Space can help create the feeling of the squares getting bigger when the negative space is used in the right way

Bold 

Coming off in a very strong way, and having a vivid appearance.

  • Contrast will help create the strong appearance
  • Emphasis helps draw attention to the main square, giving off a mare vivid illusion
  • Value will help in this one, because making the main point of focus black will help achieve the bold look.

Playful

Expressing pleasure and amusement and giving the viewer a fun experience.

  • Shape can help if you make the squares into an organic form. This gives off a more relaxed and amused appearance
  • Making the squares unbalanced will help give off a fun and playful vibe, and stimulate a good experience for the viewer

Congested

Limited movement due to traffic and crowd.

  • Rhythm and movement can make everything in the square look hectic and give it a congested look
  • Using balance to make the picture look unbalanced and too full will give the whole square a congested appearance

Tension

Being stretched to a tight or uncomfortable point.

  • Using lines to make them as thin and “tight” as possible gives off this uncomfortable feel
  • Using contrast to create these lines is an important aspect to the whole “picture”

Process Post

The overall project was actually pretty easy. Since they were only rough drafts I had a fairly simple time figuring out what to do for all 12 on each. There were some that I decided didn’t work right away, or just looked to bad/unorganized. There were some that I really like and might consider for my final six, after going through the peer review first of course. There were even some that I put for one and decided it would be better used for another. I am enjoying the whole project and think I did a pretty well job, see the attached images below to see.
