Type and Image in Three Dimensions (Fall 2017)

Part of a 4-part project series, this third project's goal is to design and build four three-dimensional objects with design elements and type relating to the chosen object for the semester in the class.

"Create a series of compositions combining representations of your object with words or phrases that communicate the formal concepts of 'repetition,' 'transition,' and 'opposition' in relation to aspects of your object on all three of the specified dimensional forms.

Present one formal concept (repetition, transition, opposition) on each dimensional form—it is up to you to match and integrate each concept to a different form. The words you choose must have a clear relationship to these formal concepts and to how they are treated in the boxes. Single or multiple representations of image and type may be used as appropriate.

Consider all visible sides of the form in relation to one another and as individual compositions. The compositions must work when viewed on their own, as well as when seen from any angle all around the 360° composition. (Note that this is an exploratory project, and is not concerned at all with packaging the objects, or with any preconcep- tions about packaging.)

Use any two colors per form printed on a white surface. You may use the same two colors or different sets of two for each form. Screens of these colors are acceptable, however, no transparency or gradi- ents may be used. You may use the same two colors or different sets of two for each form. (As in Project 2, note that the color of the paper, white, does not count as a color)"
