Project 5

For this assignment, I expanded on my pattern and 3 dimensional interpretation from the previous week. I focused more on establishing clear geometry from the characters themselves as well as the spaces in between. I began by layering the 3d object in an axon to see how each element added on top creates a richer more complex geometry.  I highlighted the spaces in between using color and 3d extrusion.  I also focused on the spherical form that the pattern had the potential create through rotation. I used this as an opportunity to establish a greater sense of life and movement on the page. I wanted to capture the graphical transformation and rotation of the octagonal shape.

The 3 dimensional images are in the foreground while more 2d analytical images are int eh background. I included my original pattern, aligning it on a grid to identify its structure. I also wanted to emphasize my original finding of the nature of the character's sizing my reinforcing the thickness using a dashed line. Above, I included a wireframe axon of the 3 dimensional pattern to transition from the rendered form and establish a more clear understanding of the overlapping spaces.
