Back with another Throw Back Thursday from college. This project was one of the very first projects we were given in "Design School" and it was all about connecting design elements. Well, it was also about proper technique using certain tools (i.e. the proper way to use rubber cement–oh, you didn't know there was one? I didn't either but I'd be happy to share it with you if you're interested). Since none of those tools/techniques are visible here, I'll focus on the actual images.
The idea was to create a series of images in which image is connected by a single design element to the one on either side of it; value, color, texture, form... The original project was printed and connected into a long strip as opposed to the block of six you see here. So it should be read across the top and then across the bottom.
We were sent out to gather images wherever we might find inspiration. After several iterations I ended up with what you see above. I'm still not that happy with it because I used color to connect images twice–what a cop out! :)
My favorite duo is the last one. I still cannot believe that as I was walking around trying to take pictures, I looked up and snapped a shot of the clouds and then looked down at the sidewalk for inspiration and found an almost identical form in the broken pavement! I was STOKED! I also love the photo of the man-hole cover. I had to stand way over it to get a perfectly round shot and there just so happened to be a dry section where you couldn't see my reflection!
Have a great Thursday!
