For Project 3 - Patterns, I really could not stay focused on
just one subject. I liked the lecture
and the examples shown of the complexity that can go into vector art. Also the color theory side of it made more
sense to me as I have heard of it before, but the presentation helped out a
lot.
As for my list, I came up with 32 patterns in total.
98% of them I created myself from scratch. The other 2% were photos I pulled and cropped
what I needed from them to get what I was looking for. Patterns #2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 &
12 were all photo's I used after capturing them on my phone. Actually 11/12 were taken with my Canon T3
DSLR. These patterns were mostly of
natural things, leafs, tree bark, grass, and some man-made things such as
concrete, rusted/chipping metal, buildings and glass. Patterns #17-33 I created myself from
scratch. I used the pen and shape tool to create organic looking things and
also rigid blocky patterns. What I was
going for was to keep a balance of both nature/technology and flowing/sharpness.
Other images I used were circuit boards, wires, cables,
copper and steel grates. These were grabbed via Google.
As for my color theory I went with a few, as I wanted to
create balance that you see in nature but also the hustle and bustle of technology.
Symbolically I was trying to use color that was harmonious and complimentary in
the with a Triad color wheel. The
patterns I used were mostly of natural colors so I went ahead and contrasted
those colors with bright over the top ones to make the overall feel of the
piece pop a little more.
It's very busy, but I tried to make it as complex as I could
without over doing it. It was a fun
project.
very creative,
ReplyDeleteI like the radial balance of this composition and the use of colors. It is a little difficult to see the birds there, tho. Maybe it would look better if you made them a little brighter?
ReplyDeleteThe piece has a good sense of balance, even with all the different elements. The only thing that gets me is that not all the boxes are the same.
ReplyDeleteIt is busy, but not overwhelmingly so. I like your color choices!
ReplyDeleteit was hard to tell what the image was at first, but once i saw the birds i thought it looked really nice. I even liked that i couldn't quite tell what it was at first
ReplyDeletewow, it is visibly beautiful. I like the overall effect of the grid but i feel like your covering the best parts.
ReplyDeleteThe colors go together well and the I see a lot of symmetry, good job
ReplyDeletenice job. looks like you spent some time on this. love the robotic looking wings.
ReplyDeleteThis is magnificent! Birds trapped in a cage of technology. Great design, great color, just complex enough. :D
