Class 3 The study of point Point- Is a basic mark, such as a dot, a pixel, or a brush stroke. A study on point point - noun, verb give force or emphasis to (words or actions) a basic mark, such as a dot, pixel, or brushstroke The assignment for this visual design analysis was to take about 50 photographs of examples of "point," pick out the best images, and create a unified composition consisting of 20 two-inch squares. Each student had the freedom of interpretation as to what type of point to find and photograph but the end result should to be varied, unified, balanced, and interesting. Focus on some of the most important principles and elements of two-dimensional design: point, shape, texture, color unity, variety, proportion This design challenge also acknowledges the six aspects of Gestalt- grouping, containment, repetition, proximity, continuity, and closure. I really enjoyed doing this project. For my point photographs, I chose to walk around the city of Savannah to find my points. I am not from here and I find Savannah to be a very interesting place. Not only was I able to explore the city, but I constantly found myself running into SCAD students that helped me on my search. The process- After capturing my 50 photos, I loaded them onto my computer. Looking at them as a whole group, I was immediately able to weed out the weak point photos. I then was able to make my way down to the 20 photographs that would make up my digital design piece. Below you will see the 50 original photos, the moving process and the 20 photos that remained. After narrowing down the photos to 20, I used an app called "CollageFactory Free" to put them in a grid system. From there, I began moving the images around to assure that they were in places that not only enhanced the photograph and the others around it, but also contributed to the overall look of the piece. Finally, after all the photos were in their designated spots I saved the collage and converted it into black and white. Below you will see the app I used, the collaged images and the final products of the collages in black and white. Final Products
