My final redesign was based on the angle lines. After seen everyone work and looking at my own, i liked the idea of a bold line somewhere in the piece and i realized how space between the shapes can create a lighting effect. I decided to make something with more of a 3d design on a 2d surface while also creating a sense of harmony by not over crowding my work. I believe i improved on my previous design by creating a less cluttered piece. I felt like my previous piece had to much going on with no emphasis anywhere. This time around i made more harmonious design with good negative space to counter balance the positive space.

When this assignment began all i could think is how many things could i create with lines. I quickly found out that the possibilities are endless. I began trying to consume as much space as possible but quickly learned that the negative space can have an equal or greater impact on the work than positive space. I liked the idea off symmetry and similar forms that work together to create a great piece. The black tape around it, i felt, framed the work and made it more pleasant to look at.

Class critiques

In class i was advised to keep it proportional.

To avoid continuous negative space.

To not have uneven or damaged ends.

If using tape fill to edge.
