Creating Gradations

A field of elements is manipulated to create a light-to-dark progression by adjusting the size of each shape.

Exploring Abstractions

Two different strategies are employed to further manipulate the compositional elements from Ex1, positioning them with and without restrictions for unique visual experiences.

Organizing Type

Typography as a design element is introduced by applying text to restrictive grid lines and with complete freedom in order to investigate hierarchy.

Cropping Abstractions

To create and evaluate positive and negative spaces, the compositional elements from Exploring Abstractions are enlarged and cropped within the frame.

Composing a Series

Text is positioned consistently within common spatial fields across three Cropping Abstractions compositions.

Applying Letterforms

Using Cropping Abstractions compositions, large letterforms are added and scaled to reveal new shapes and compelling interactions.

Adding Depth

A range of monochromatic tones are applied to Applying Letterforms compositions to discover how changes in value alter emphasis and presence.

Combining Elements

A range of monochromatic tones are applied to Applying Letterforms compositions to discover how changes in value alter emphasis and presence.
