Exploration # 2 : Black Square Problem

06 Feb

These are the designs I created that display and describe at the same time, six different words using only white and black media. I decided to make them on photoshop. Not that it was faster…but also because the lines are properly defined.

They are:

1. ORDER

In this image you can see that the squares are arranged in such a way that it creates an order in the image.

 

2. CONGESTION

This image has many black squares that are congested in one area. It might even displease the eye. But to me it looks like a tree! :P

 

3. INCREASE

I have arranged the squares in such a way that it makes an illusion that the squares are coming from a distance showing depth. In the image the squares seem to increase in size from one corner to the other.

 

4. PLAYFUL

This looks fun…! It reminds me of old cartoons! As you can see this image shows playfulness with the squares enjoying a nice see saw ride and one almost flying up in the air because of the other square…This also shows visual weight!

 

5. BOLD

This image shows one bold square among many small squares. The contrast in size makes it easy for us to distinguish between the bold and small squares.

 

6.TENSION

This image shows tension between the squares. The poor little square is trying to hold the weight of the massive square that is trying to balance on one corner of the small square! If I were the square i would surely have a lot of tension! :P
