Phase 2: Repetition and Variation

    

      In this exercise, we selected three tonal areas from our Assignment 1.We traced the outlines and generated three shapes to use them as our initial design elements.We were reuired to repeat and vary our elements to come up with a design organization.

      In first step, I chose triangle,square and rectangle.Then, by changing dimensions of my elements, I got different pieces.On defined black cardboard (26,5 x 41), I tried various designs to make assignment.I used scaling,rotating and mirroring technique.

      After we handed in our assignments,we made a panel discussion.In discussion, I saw the wrong parts of my design.I had used symmetry,but our instructors said that it is the easiest way to make a organization and they didn't like symmetry.By using symmetry, it is like just designing half of cardboard,so I saw that it is not a good idea.Also, in my design, I used some elements too close to each other and because of that, they are seen as just one element and it means that it cause "identity lost".I mean square is not a square and triangles are not triangles anymore.
