project 1

MODELS AND TATTOOS:

EXPRESSIONS THROUGH DESIGN ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES

In Project 1, we exploded design elements and principles to develop and generate design intentions. We also learn the way how to translate our ideas into 3-dimensional designs or 2 dimensional diagrams.

We are required to make 6 models and 6 tattoo stamps respectively. Different materials are allowed to used in model making.

Space and grouping are applied in this model. My idea is inspired by containers.

ELEMENT :   SPACE

PRINCIPLE :  GROUPING

Contrast is shown by those triangles which made by different materials and colours.

ELEMENT :   MATERIAL

PRINCIPLE :  CONTRAST

Different kind of lines are forming a pattern. Curve lines forms wave pattern, different width of straight lines are also forming another pattern.

ELEMENT :   LINE

PRINCIPLE :  PATTERN

Variety size of cubes are stacked together forming an hourglass-shaped model. 

ELEMENT :   MASS

PRINCIPLE :  VARIETY

Square frames are placed according their sizes and anticlockwise so it formed rhythm when we look into in from the front.

ELEMENT :   SHAPE

PRINCIPLE :  RHYTHM

This model is inspired by Chinese paper cutting. Lines are connected to the boards.

ELEMENT :   LINE

PRINCIPLE :  CONNECTION

learning outcome

From this project, I have learned the knowledge about design principles and elements. I also got the idea about design intention and interpretation. This is the first step how I learn to design a structure.
