16 representations
1 challenge
project brief CONCEPT STATEMENT: To explore different methods and strategies, both formal and conceptual, for representing a three-dimensional animal in two-dimensions.
Designers were assigned to create 16 different representations that would each identify the concept of an animal of their choosing. The designers were challenged to combine visual materials, words, pictures and other representations into a composition that adopts a specific idea that an audience can understand. The ultimate challenge was to simultaneously deliver a message and build a form. This complex task required the designers to know how to create a relationship between the elements of each of the compositions in order to provide clarity and engage their audience. Every representation is a visual phenomenon created to form a message. In the end, the designers should have 16 unique representations that are all denotative and connotative.
