Delve into the fascinating world of geometry as we explore the concepts of points, lines, and planes. Discover how these fundamental elements come together to form the building blocks of mathematical shapes and structures.
Apologies for submitting this post so late-my post was delayed because I completed my design assignments and went into a deep slumber. Regardless, my second assignment was an additional set of Point, Line, Plane exercises. After receiving critics from 3 design students I set off to make compositions involving all three forms. They first showed me examples of works they had done in the past, then told me rules to follow. They encouraged me to create focal points, work with the rule of thirds…
This was by far the toughest exploration of the semester, but also the most fulfilling. I improved and learned so much just through this "seemingly" simple exercise. I found that I struggled with the more simple principles, like repetition; I struggled to find solutions to make the compositions make sense, but still graphically interesting. Another principle I really struggled with was rhythm - how does one show rhythm without sound? I think my favorite principle to play with is positive…
Reading: Graphic Design: The New Basics Point A point can “penetrate like a bullet, pierce like a nail or pucker like a kiss”.This reading talks of the point in all its many forms. I have listed every way in which they are mentioned, in a list form below. The point can create patterns, signify an ending within type and develop a design. • Marks a position in space • A pair of x, y coordinates • A visible mark • A dot • A full stop • A point can express its own identity • A series
What is a plane? | There are a few ways to define a plane. You could define a plane with a line, and some point that isn't on that line. You could also define a plane using two distinct lines, or with three distinct points that aren't on that line.
