Project 3

Step 1:

I began with the letter "O" from the Corona Font.  Upon analysis I discovered that the character uses all of the same curves in each portion of the letter.  I began to explore with the character and discovered that when rotated around a point, 3 characters connect, creating a triangular shape.  This shape interested me so i continued to explore it.


Step2:

I next discovered that when reflected, the three character shape connects together, allowing for the pattern to be continued. Resulting in a full page of pattern.  What interested me most about this pattern, is that due to the fact that the lines are all so closely related, you lose the sense of the letter "O".  The composition becomes more about the shapes created by the character, rather then the character itself.

Line Composition:

For my line composition, I was most interested in the way that the pattern causes you to lose sight of the character used.  By scaling a portion of the pattern, I wanted to highlight this aspect by allowing the viewer a reference for the pattern.  By somewhat isolating one of the "o's" the character becomes more apparent, and the source of the pattern a little more clear.


Color Composition:

Finally, for my color composition, i wanted to focus mostly on the shapes that the characters make.  By scaling a specific section of the pattern 3 separate times, there is a clear focal point to the composition, which is focused on the triangular shape that I first discovered.
