Design for Media 2

For this series, we were given a single word to depict. We then had to photograph objects that reminded us of the word or related to the word including textures and patterns.

The word I was given was chemistry. The first panel, we were only allowed to use one dominant shape and one accent shape which were to be consistent throughout the whole piece. I chose to use a squiggly shape sculpture for my dominant shape because it reminds me of molecules and liquid forms. For my accent shape, I used a helium tank that I thought looked like a test tube. The color scheme I chose to use was analogous using blues, blue greens, and greens. I created a background that looks like liquid that are mixing together to further express the notion of chemistry.

The second panel added a decorative element to the piece. I used a decorative candle lantern and gave it the essence of bubbles. The same color scheme is used but the sizing and orientation of the shapes as well as the background changed.

In the third panel, we added a decorative element and a pattern element. I used the ball shapes again to look like bubbles. I added a grate like pattern because it reminds me of drains and sinks like one would find in a chemistry lab. I also changed

up the composition.

In the fourth panel, we added a decorative element and an

element of texture. I used the same ball shapes for decorative elements and added a bubbly, cracked texture to the squiggly sculpture.


In the fifth panel, we took all of the elements and combined it into one final image. I used the same analogous color scheme. I used decorative elements, textural elements, elements of pattern and the dominant and accent shapes.
