The Ohio State University

Order: The arrangement or disposition of people or things according to sequence or method
- I used order in a sense that created more organized designs
Bold: Showing the ability to take risks/ A strong vivid appearance
- Dark against light helped motivate my “bold” designs
  - High contrast
Playful: Light-hearted/ frisky
- I wanted looser form and less cohesive structure.
- I think of tumbling little kids knocking over toys.
Increase: To become greater in size, amount, or degree
- I attempted to suggest upward movement
- I felt my most successful “increase” designs emphasized size and rhythm
Congested: Immense crowd to the point that movement is hindered
- I thought a lot about congestion in my nose and throat, causing many of these designs to be very busy and clustered with lines
Tension: The state of being stretched/ mental or emotional strain
- I used unbalanced compositions to attempt to stress my viewer into experiencing tension (that is as much tension 4 squares can provoke)
