crit for 3D dots

To critique our 3D designs we split our groups up and traded people with the group next to us. My overall design was liked by most. A few of the descriptive words were as follows:
  • Bursting
  • flames
  • good progression
  • If you put the design on a car it wouyld go faster
  • good rips
  • good variation
  • off the book design was good
  • likes the big text
Everyone agreed that the final point in the corner is the best part of the flow of the design.

Brain expresses his excitement by declaring "yay art, yay books."

Some of the tips they gave me were that the braids were distracting, I needed to fix one of the ripped peices, the securing in my book was poor, and to cover the cardboard on the edge.

3d dots and textures







I created my 3d dot design using my continuous design that resembled a meteor shower. therefore i created my texture to look like a meteor trail. I made the print come off the designated 6x6 square. I also put some braided text around the "tail" of the design.

For my accordian book had a good variety of designs. I created 3 that came off the page. I also created one that was black with white writing. I taped and then spraypainted the back to make it black. I also constructed a box to hold the designs for easy transport

Most of the comments about this idea were possitive. Everyone liked how we used hair for the dots. Also it was noted that my hair being a light color was a good touch because it added color and excitement to the design. When I first posted my designs they were not cropped so the concrete was showing. Now I have edited them so they look cleaner. Everyone also agreed that travis being the one with the long hair was a good thing because when pepople think of long hair they usually think of a female, well guess what people...
youre wrong!

Final Nature Form




I finished my cardboard nature form. It ended up standing about 7 feet high with a diameter of 3 feet. Standing in the picture is travis who stands 6'3".

playful and periodic




We did designs like the dots but instead of continuance, closure, proximity, and similarity we used playful and periodic. We created 4 of each that we put on 6X6 paper, 2 of which were finished designs.
