Then certain patterns began to appear; specifically the circles and the swirls. I recognized their existence, and I aimed to make the visual relationship between the two a main theme throughout the project.
There were times when I had difficulty figuring out where to place certain pieces that were close to the corners. I laid them out so I could see different options of reflections, and finally decided that the end result created the best look.
I really enjoyed hearing that my notan square reminded the class of Hugo-esque gears/mist, lost underwater seaweed/city of Atlantis, and other settings of the adventure genre. I thought it looked like the middle of a toxic accident in a factory, or some other sci-fi adventure explosion.
The second part of the project was to select an area of the Notan square to paint. The composition I found was the most pleasing, and it had a nice balance between linear and curvelinear shapes.
The third part of the project was to create a laser cut pattern from a selection in our piece. The shape was simplified in Adobe Illustrator, then the paths were duplicated 100 times and sent to a laser cutter. The diamonds and lines functioned better vertically. Oriented horizontally, the thick implied lines would have weighed the piece down.
