Unity Assignment

Here are my examples of unity. I found these images by browsing random images that I searched for on Google.

This first image is of proximity. Like the shapes on page 34 of Design Basics, the nuts pictured in this photograph are close together, making this a very good example of proximity.

 
 
In this image it shows repitition using similarity. This image is much like Takashi Murakami's image Killer Pink on page 37. Uses the same image and repeats it but uses different color combinations for each photo.
 
 
 
This example is a image of repitition with variety. The repitition is a variety of arms each decorated differently. Each arm is of a different size and postitioned differently. The elements in this photo present repitition with variety to me.  To me this image is much like image A by Tom Friedman on page 36. This image uses the same objects in different sizes and positions like image A.
 
 
This image is an example of an image using continuity as an element of unity. This image is a great example of continuity due to the wavy lines of thread creating paths that lead through the photo, sort of like how the girls arm on the couch continues through to the contour of the couch she is sitting on, on page 38 of Design Basics.
 
 
 
 

This example of unity is an image using a grid. This image is similar to that of D on page 43 of Design Basics. It gives that checkerboard feeling like "Spectrum Colors Arranged by Chance" by Ellsworth Kelly.
 
 
This next image resembles an example of a chaotic, unreadable image, much like image F on page 33. This image has a lot of shapes and lines going on in it and my eyes get drawn to many spots of the photo like the photo in our book. 


 
 
This next image is an example of a non-objective expression of unity. This image seems to have nothing to do with the natural world. This image is very abstract and leaves the mind thinking what it is an image of.
 
 
 
This image is an example of a figurative expression of unity. In this photo it uses circular shapes while having a nice flow through the sculpture.

Ideal 2D Design

My Ideal 2 dimensional design has to draw my attention to the image and make me want to look at it. I really like images that are detailed, and symmetrical. Here is an example of an Ideal 2 dimensional design of a logo I created for myself. This logo draws my attention from the outside of the logo to the shapes that create the letters C. L. D. (Christopher Lee Designs).  This isn't what I think every design should be like. I believe that a design should draw the viewers attention in either by the unique design or by use of colors, or both. Also I believe a design can be effective by the way it is layed out.
