Exercise 10

In creating logos for the Linear Gallery I wanted to keep the mission statement of the gallery in mind along with the name and space that is the gallery. The top left logos are all logos that only contain the name of the gallery. In these iterations I wanted to give hierarchy to the word "linear" while incorporating lines. The next set of logos are on the top right. These connect the words linear and gallery while the again playing with lines and heirarchy. The bottom-most logos contain images along with words, intertwining the context of the gallery along with display a few renderings of the space of the gallery.

Exercise 9

For this exercise, we used the model that we created for the last exercise and transformed it so that it could viably be outputted to a physical model. The first transformation is rather simple; I cropped part of the original model and illustrated the shadows that the objects cast so that they could be modeled on the tertiary plane that I originally created. For the second transformation I wanted to better represent the physical voids in the grating as they appear in real life, in a perspective view. I did this by extruding the top of the rectangular volumes into a diagonal shape above the grating. The third transformation is an exercise in further studying the space that the grating encapsulates. By making the grating into a cage, the texture and flowing shape that the metal is weaved into is further accentuated. Still, as with the previous models, there is a clear understanding of solid/void, however, the layering of the objects is lost. The fourth and final transformation is kind of a combination of the the first and second transformations, while the diagonals in the source image are highlighted by removing the field of rectangular volumes that were originally gridded among the voids in the grating.

Exercise 8

My intentions for the model of the picture of a New York City sunset were to model the space that was given to me, while taking a few liberties in assuming how the street was set. Then, by lofting an object, I gave the void space that is created by the buildings a shape to illustrate this void. The shape is transparent so that you can see the extent of the model. I wanted to give this shape a free-flowing form because the void space is not clearly defined and can be interpreted in many ways. I then gave the skyscraper on the left hierarchy by rendering it a different color.

In this model of the grating pattern/texture I took a similar approach as in the last model. This picture gave me a better opportunity in modeling primary, secondary, and tertiary spaces. The grating is primary, while the void space created by the openings are secondary, and the background plane is tertiary. I chose to play around with the lighting in this model because of this reason and also because I believed that the overall structure of the model would give me a better opportunity for dynamic views.
