Equivocal Space (Adobe Illustrator)

This form can be resolved as traditional space with the exception of the overlap of the upper right dark square.  This overlaps the lighter squares, which should be in front of it.  Done in Illustrator as an exercise, as the gradients would have been nearly impossible to achieve with ColorAid paper.

Assignment 7 - Vibrating and Disappearing Edges

April 13, 2015

SVSU ART 111-01 - Hanson

This project explored the use of vibrating and disappearing edges. By using two colors with similar like intensities but varying hues the edges of the composition and either disappear or vibrate when looked at.

For the vibrating inches project I used a composition developed in project 2. This composition was completed using blue, red, and green hues.  The vibrating edges in the final composition did not appear as strong as they did in early mockups which was disappointing. Even with the issues with the hue selections there are still interesting vibrations occurring as the line weights vary. 

The disappearing edges composition turned out much better. I chose very saturated hues for this project to explore how that would work out. Also for this project chose the composition that had numerous concave and convex shapes as well as shapes within the field of background color.  At a distance this composition turns into a murky field of deep saturated blue. At different distances, the composition drastically changes in appearance. The edges disappear fairly well with these hues.
