BEAUTIFUL TABLE

Now that’s interesting and beautiful furniture. I think it’s a table and the white is probably the Dominant while the blue glass is the SD. SO might be the white parts that stick out?

Making My Emo Lines – Process

I didn’t manage to take that many photos of my process (something I’ll definitely fix), but here goes nothing!

These were taken from my Visual Journal made in Photoshop. Hope you managed to understand it all!

Project 1: My Line is Emo

ANGER

This is Exasperation. It’s frayed apart and is a visual representation of how one would feel under intense annoyance.

This is Irritation. I felt like Irritation starts with one starting point and just grows more and more wild from there. Which is seen in the picture

This is Vengeance. As a more methodical kind of anger, there is a pattern to this line. It still retains a dark and evil looking vibe.

FEAR

This is Horror. People tend to hear their own heartbeat during horrific moments and that’s what this line represents.

This is Dread. To dread something is to anticipate with great fear or apprehension. The line running through the pattern shows this apprehension.

This is Uneasiness. The patterns in a circle serve as a visual representation of the coiling of guts and a squirmish feeling.

JOY

This is Thrill. The extreme amount of patterns and the varying contrasts between dark and light give off a lot of energy, giving this line a feeling of thrill.

This is Optimism. A light happy feeling achieved with what seems to be patterns being blown away by the wind.

This is Triumph. Like a wave crashing over rocks, this line captures the victorious feeling of overcoming an obstacle.

LOVE

This is Attraction. The straight lines that bend slightly show how attraction is the beginning of love, like 2 people who have just noticed each other for the first time.

This is Love. A fast heart beat and a upward feeling that makes you feel lighter, this is what the line is trying to capture.

This is Sensual. Pleasure in physical and emotional senses is often represented by curves which has been repeated many times in this line.

SADNESS

This is Guilt. A contrast of blacks and whites, crashing into each other without pattern. This represents the conflict of emotion within oneself when guilt exists.

This is Melancholy. Grayish slow moving ink across paper is a visual representation of melancholy.

This is Isolation. The white splotches surrounded by darkness shows how despite being around others, one can still feel very isolated.

SURPRISE

This is Revelation. It starts off with dark obscurity, followed by sudden white spots that represent the idea or realization coming to life and growing larger.

This is Shock. This is a emotion that can shake one’s very soul or world. In this line there is focus on where the shock takes place.

This is Bewilderment. Sharp lines with a indiscernible pattern meant to confuse the viewer and create a feeling of bewilderment.

Project 2 Inspiration

A video I came across about dreams. IDEAS MAYBE???? It’s quite trippy. Which is great cause dreams are like that. Not sure why the video won’t embed into the post, but just click on the word Kensho

Process Development

Arlo there,

So here’s the process I went through for my 3 sketch models!

MODEL 1
20160826_103611 20160826_103554 20160826_103604

So these are photos of my 1st sketch model. I tried to get a design where the D, SD and SO can be easily recognized from any angle. I also tried piercing but it wasn’t very smooth.

I made a sketch analysis of this model and after the class critique session, I realised the SD was too long, thus making it look bigger than the D in some angles. Made a note to shorten it. The model was well received though and I was happy about that. Decided to add wedging into this model.

MODEL 2

20160826_113231 20160826_113239 20160826_113223

Tried another model but with more hanging for each piece. 20160901_174635

This had quite a few problems. The SO was longer than the D, as well as being flushed to the tip of the SD. Meanwhile the SD was wedged into the center of the D. In general, the model was not as interesting as I thought it was. The lengths were too similar in some cases. At least I managed to get some wedging practice out of this.

MODEL 3

20160901_142534 20160901_142545 20160901_142600

For the third model, I tried to get the same effect of having a easily recognizable D, SD and SO from any angle.

However, this design came with a myriad of problems too. The SO felt too big, the SD’s height was similar to the width of the D when seen from an angle and the SD felt like it did not stick out enough.

But through the analysis, I was able to decide on a model to improve upon.
