graphic design II - bauhaus bio

Back to some portfolio pieces, finally! This month's classes are Graphic Design II and Web Design Principles. So, the first assignment for Graphic Design was to choose an abstract painting by Piet Mondrian and replace the squares with self-descriptive images.

The graffiti is from the webcomic xkcd and reads:

This graffiti is

Fleeting human contact

Both of us lost

But for a moment

We're lost together

I wonder who you are

I love that author's dark humor.

color wheel

This week's assignment for Print Production and Color Theory 114 was to design a color wheel showing primary, secondary and tertiary colors, with labels and an indication of the mathematical relationships between the colors.

I thought of spherical fountains, such as the one in front of the former Hansen Planetarium in Salt Lake City. The concept behind them is a beautiful geometry. They produce many tiny rainbows in the mists and streams. So, I decided to make my color wheel as if it were a single plane cut out of the fountain, capturing a flash of color.
