For my new design, I took the advice of the professor and the class, and completely re-did the hand so it is at a different angle, and easier to see. In addition to this, I kept the top of the Earth rounded instead of having it cave in at the top. I made everything solely out of shapes and one line segment, so it looks much cleaner and neat. For my t-shirt design, I decided to choose Earth as my Critical Concern. I chose this design because when considering climate change, us humans are held responsible. That is why I decided to portray a human hand holding the melting Earth. In addition to this, I placed a plant at the bottom catching the "melted" water (or Earth) as if it is being watered to show growth. I decided to illustrate the idea of growth because growing indicates constant change. Change and growth are what we need in order to keep our planet healthy. The main element I focused on in this piece was depth. I did this because I knew I would not be outlining ...

For my t-shirt design, I decided to choose Earth as my Critical Concern. I chose this design because when considering climate change, us humans are held responsible.

I decided to illustrate the idea of growth because growing indicates constant change. Change and growth are what we need in order to keep our planet healthy. The main element I focused on in this piece was depth. I did this because I knew I would not be outlining any of my shapes. To create the depth, I placed some of the melting Earth behind the hand as well as in front of it. I did the same thing behind the plant and in front of the plant. I tried to indicate a bit of balance between the hand and the plant as well, trying to keep them relatively the same size. I unified the image by having ...

Sorry it is a screenshot. For some reason it would not let me upload the pdf version.

Earth (The Water Project) -Globe in a hand -Globe shaped as heart in hands -Globe in hand with water dripping out of it -Globe in hand, water dripping out of it with hands accepting it -Globe with water dripping out of it with hands accepting it (could be heart shaped) -Single drop of water that looks like Earth

Same Shape Different Size For my first piece, I created depth within the picture using small and large hexagons, to make the larger hexagons appear closer to the viewer than the smaller, more distant ones. What I changed from my initial piece was adding smaller hexagons throughout, and rotating hexagons to make it feel less structured. Different Shape Same Size For my second piece, I created a sense of unity within the multiple different shapes. They are all centered around a star which is supposed to be the central focus of the piece. It has a bit of a rhythm to it, as there is a nice pattern that keeps the piece together. In addition, the piece is symmetrical throughout. I made the whole image a bit smaller from the first one because I wanted to add some more to it, and keep it tightly packed together. Different Shape Different Size For this last piece, I used a variety of shapes, some being irregular, to create a symmetrical image. The smaller circles along ...
