Final Four

With my panels I wanted the to be a set which gradually developed across the four. I did this because I think design is all about development and expanding your ideas to see what's possible.

With this project I learnt how simple code can create extremely complex images. the use of basic geometric shapes combined with repetition , transparencies and colour can add depth and interest to an image. I was motivated to learn by just experimenting and discovering what could be accomplished.

For the next project I would like to get better at refinment and control of my code. I think I achive this by spending more time at the concept, development and planning stages of my project so I when I get to the final stages I know exactly what I want to achieve.

Panel Four

With panel four I added more square layers and also more colour. As with panel three I was trying to added complexity with out it becoming to overwhelming. I achieved this by adding more lines I tried to make there more white space so the background shapes started to blend in with it.

Panel Three

For panel three I decided to emphasise the grid structure by adding different transparent squares. I think this helps add interest with out becoming to overwhelming because instead of adding more detail it starts to make the background detail harder to see. This means you can look at the image from a distance and not be overwhelmed by detail but when you get up close the complexity emerges.

Panel Two


Final panel two. I used different stroke length over lapping and transparencies to create and image that appears to have blurred lines. For my next panel I want to build on the pattern further to add more complexity with out it becoming to overwhelming.

Panel One

Final version of panel one with chosen colour combination. For panel two I want to build on the grid lines and create more complex tones and with transparencies
