It was brought to my attention that all logos needed to be at the same scale, therefore:

Logos

My intent in designing logos for the linear gallery was to create mostly minimalist compositions that focused on either the linear or the spatial aspect of the gallery, with a large focus being on the text "linear gallery". I chose to only use black, white, and a shade of gray in my designs because I felt it challenged me to focus on the interaction of the positive and negative space in the composition of each design. I also felt that relying on color would be less effective were the logo to ever be printed in black and white. I have arranged the final composition of the iterations on a 6"x 6" grid with each logo centered in their respective block. I chose four images, which are at double scale, to fill the remainder of the grid spaces. These images were selected because I felt that they were some of the more successful designs and that they help organize the page into what I believe is a more aesthetically pleasing composition.

Comment Points Opportunity - Get them while they're hot!!!

Current iterations of logos. Any feedback would be appreciated.

model

Digital Fabrication

My intent for this project was to take the honeycomb model and explore the possibilities presented by the form's pattern and the ways the form could be manipulated for transparency. I chose to isolate a small hexagonal pattern and regularize it and then slice it. After evaluation I chose to use only several slices through the model and leave a separation between them to really emphasize the way the pattern can be overlapped and the effects of light through the form. Additionally, the guiding principle of the design of the model is the hexagonal form, which is utilized in the smaller units, composed into a larger hexagonal whole, and intersected by a hexagonal framing system.

For exercise 8 I chose an image of a honeycomb for the pattern model and of the DC metro for the space model. I chose to abstractly represent the honeycombs using 3D hexagonal tubes, which were repeated in contact similar to the picture. However, I hose to break the repetition by extruding and overlapping different pieces as well as leaving some open and some closed. The overall model in a rough concave hexagon as well. I made those decisions with the intent of providing the greatest variety of lighting variation as well as producing a composition from the perspective. The metro station is also abstractly represented as a series of planes, with the exception of the waffled ceiling, which I really wanted to emphasize in this model. Materials were also added to be more realistic.

Midterm

After meeting with Christine I am posting the image from the midterm presentation as requested.
