The Collage My Collage consists of
various things that I find have a large impact on my life and my work as a designer. The center is suppose to
symbolize a chaotic link between various arts
including: mixed martial arts, video games, and literature.
Whats your sign?
Half easel half book, my sign
incorporates my passion for literature and my love of art.
Whats your sign? The easel sits perpendicular to the wall while conveying
unease due to the black paint that over coats the painting
and the paint brush holder. It is suppose to represent a boundless entity that
destroys anything it comes into contact with.
The wall The wall represents an obstacle that we have to complete in
order to elevate ourselves to
get where we need to go in life. It symbolizes not only the
hardships of my life but the
hardships of Architecture and Design 101.
The Walls I used a progressive
shutter effect on this
iteration. It becomes more
open toward one side and is shut off on the other. It represents asymmetry
and uses hide and peek to reveal “LOVE� written on the inner wall.
The 2nd Walls This work emphasizes even more asymmetry and introduces
different surfaces at different
angles. The planes are placed on three different support beams
which are held up by one wall and three small beams are held up by the adjacent wall.
The Walls 3.0
Narrative What are the most significant aspects and qualities of your constructed design? The most significant aspect and qualities of my design would have to be the inverse relationship of the structure. What will a first time viewer of you work see and experience? A first time viewer would see an anomalous design that gives them an experience of uncertainty about what inspirations were use to create this design. What does your deign primarily represent? The fine line between complexity and simplicity. What are the details of what your audience will see and experience as they engage your work and how do these details relate to your metaphors?
My design would convey to the audience an experience of direction about how this design came to be and they would begin to be engaged on what inspiration was based off of and it would give them a sense of curiosity.
The Walls 4.0
Narrative What are the most significant aspects and qualities of your constructed design? It begins with two different choice that come together at the center. The center provides the link between two differing path choices. It is a minimalist design with complex undertones. What will a first time viewer of you work see and experience? They will see an overlook that is brought together by a vertical wall and horizontal wall with vice versa support beams. They will experience different choices that bring about a majestic over look. What does your deign primarily represent? It shows that no matter where you come from, if you elevate yourself, your perception will be greater from that in which you came.
What are the details of what your audience will see and experience as they engage your work and how do these detail relate to your metaphors?
They will see an asymmetrical design that, with a captivation center and will experience a sense of power once they reach they center.
