Visual Techniques:
Symmetry
consistently
repetition
complexity
balanced






























Here are works of art from my two favorite artists. The top work is done by Alex Pardee and the bottom work is created by Shepard Fairey. These works of art contrast each other in many ways. One way is that the work above is asymmetrical and uses instability to capture emotion. Where as the work done by Shepard Fairey below it has balanced and symmetrical characteristics. These town pieces, though seeming to be completely contrasting, have a few visual techniques in common. Both of these works focus heavily on detail and complexity. These two works also share the visual technique of repetition. Pardee displays this in his destructive worms, where as Fairey continually repeats his patterns and icons through his work

Week 10 implied Motion

Here is a picture illustrated by, the mathematical genius, M.C. Escher. He is using a technique of implied lines by having individuals actively walking through the triangular formed composition. The triangle signifies diagonal action lines through the heart of the illustration. If you take a closer look you might notice that the triangle is never ending. Escher draws our eye through a labyrinth style maze of never-ending loops.

Here is a design projects assigned to me at Fullerton Junior college. In hopes to convey continuity, my thumb print design displays implied motion. The consistent lines draw your eye smoothly through the illustration. Starting with the dark focal spot in the upper left my eye follows the large loop in the upper right corner and quickly down to the center of the page. My eye makes a couple of loops then navigates back to the top of the page.
