Visual Explorations
Exploring color, balance, & hierarchyI. Geometric Abraction
October, 2018
Photographer
Dazzle Jam PhotographyThe objective of this visual exploration of color and balance was to create a geometric photo abstraction of an image using one shape throughout the design. I began the exploration by sketching possible compositional solutions, and then transitioned to printing, cutting, and gluing a physical version. The final image was replicated digitally.
II. Forged & Stitched Logo Design
February, 2021Tasked with designing a logo for a small business Etsy crochet shop, I drew inspiration from the owner's fondness of friendly felines in the final illustration.
III. Together: Two-Dimensional Design
May, 2019
Combining a digital self portrait and multiple sound expressions into one balanced composition, was the goal of this exploration. Redefining the unity and contrast between these different works, led me to utilize scale and movement to see how subtracting and adding elements plays with balance.
IV. Surrealist Landscape
October, 2019
For this project, I was inspired by the imaginative creations of the surrealist artists Dali, Magritte, and Kahlo. I began this project by recording my dreams over the course of one week. By jotting down key themes and elements from my dreams, I had a wide array of imagery to create a surrealist composition. During the design phase of the final montage, I fused reality with the metaphysical, and created a composition that became a reflection of one specific, and might I add, chilly dream state.
