Think carefully about what I said in the pinup.
• borrow the best parts from previous studies• combine the best ideas as a theme and variation
• simplify
• start to narrow down the choices of diagrams or photos used
• start to limit the vocabulary to only the best crystals/nuggets
• consider breaking apart and reconfiguring best crystals
• a few of you might need to continue inventing “new” instruments/mechanisms/crystals/nuggets/parts.
format: 11 x 17 sheet (use HP 8150 laser or your own inkjet)
media: rasterize your articulated diagram in photoshop; using layers build your collage.
resolution: 150 – 200 ppi grayscale (might be higher for inkjet; test it) download test file
Other thoughts:
• repetition and variation
• contrast (dark vs. Light)
• plug-in parts (avoid using whole instruments)
• interlocking and ironic combinations
• proportioning
• using perspective vs. orthogonalized
• establish a system for how you deal with solid and voided
