Shape
In graphic design, a shape is a two- or three-dimensional object that stands out from the space next to it because of a defined or implied boundary. Shapes are more than just practical, constructive tools: their meanings are what allow designers to communicate visually. A shape can live in different areas in space, and have other elements like line, color, texture, or movement. Shapes come in two different types: geometric and organic.
Use the provided template to sketch 16 small thumbnail ideas.
Using a pencil, draw a variety of shapes that have similar qualities (e.g. geometric shapes, organic shapes, or a combination) in each thumbnail box.
You are challenged to arrange the shapes in each thumbnail so as to allow the viewer’s eye to move from one shape to the other with ease.
Evaluate your work using the same process used in the line assignment, with (3-5) peers selecting the three sketches they feel are the strongest or most successful.
Make a rough sketch of the top three thumbnails on the provided template.
Working from the three chosen thumbnails, develop each sketch into a more defined design, working first in pencil and then finishing each design in black marker.
When the roughs are complete, evaluate the work again and have your (same) peers select the rough they feel is the most successful.
On a clean sheet of plain paper and working from your chosen rough, develop your concept into a neatly executed comprehensive design, working first in pencil and then finishing the comp in black marker.
