Linear Gallery Composition

Linear Gallery Composition

In this composition, I juxtaposed a perspective view of the linear gallery with wire frame.  I drew guide lines that connect at the vanishing point to highlight the linear nature of the space.  I also made a  collage view out the window to connect the space to its outdoor environment.

Exercise 6

In this composition, I attempted to create a stronger sense of hierarchy and balance from my previous composition by adding a large version of my basic module of two overlapping K's.  This module is juxtaposed with smaller rendered and wire frame perspectives.  The perspectives together form a progression which appears to fade into the distance beyond the larger module.  The progression is slightly curved to highlight the curve of the large module and to reflect the subtly curving nature of the font which at first glance, appears entirely linear.

Project 5

In creating this composition, it was my intention to show how the change in height in the 3 dimensional is based on the line weight of the two dimensional drawing.  In order to show this I ran a transparent tub through the densest element of the line drawing, the wire frame model and the rendered model.  As a whole however, I think the composition is unbalanced and lacks hierarchy.  I struggled with making all aspects clear and the wire frame disappeared when I converted the file to JPEG.  I intend to make alterations to help make the composition clearer and more balanced.

Solid Modeling

In creating this pattern I used  color and transparency to emphasize the overlapping of the K's that make up this pattern.  The lowest part is the most transparent.  As the pattern gets taller towards the center, it becomes more opaque.  The level of transparency is directly related to the height.  By relating the height to transparency, I hoped to achieve a clear reading of the 3D object even when viewed as a flat top view.  Because of the direct relationship between height and transparency, the height differences can still be read in plan, as seen in the shaded view below.  I chose similar, but not identical colors in order to make the image read clearly without distracting from the varying levels of transparency and height.
