Project Saturated Color Study

In this exercise, I had to find an object with saturated colors to photograph. This is the side of a local restaurant and I wanted to get as close to the golden mean as I could, without photographing beyond the wall.

The objective of the project was to take a nine letter word, in this case my name, and manipulate the scale and placement within a nine letter grid. The assignment also explored concepts of form and counter form to make deciephering the word more difficult.

Project Cartography Assignment
Instructor Billi London-Gray
Date November 2017
For this assignment I had to depict at least two layers of information that showed the passage of time. I chose to depict part of a neighborhood in Detroit in its heyday and then the same neighborhood in 2017. The drawings are based off of an aerial photograph from 1949 and a google maps image from this year. 11
