The Balance
What do you see?
An exercise in conveying complex concepts through sheer composition and abstraction. There was an emphasis of color and shape throught out the process, undergoing several revisions from peers and professor alike. The final product is the first image, meant to describe the world's turbulent relationship with natural resources from its more predatory political entities. Flowing, colorful nature being overridden by cold, geometric "things", siphoned of their energy like a parasite.
Made in Photoshop.
The final version, a result of multiple iterations. Made intentional with a tetrad color palette darkened to their most unsightly hues to indicate a sinister perversion.
The earliest concepts, made traditionally with pens and alcohol markers. The pointed spikes are central to the design.
A color exercise, experimenting with color palettes and their relationships through textures and shapes.
A modified version of the previous exercise. Consider it a "before" picture.
The "after" picture, the dark pointed star much more dominating and spreading it sharp angled patterns.
Adapted partly from other suggested designs, the pointed star now a mess of spikes. The initial color palette was change to create a unified atmosphere.
