Design 2D

Today I received my first official grade on my first project in Design class.  The funny thing about this class is that Adobe Illustrator was suppose to be a prerequisite.  Just so happens that I was taking said Illustrator class, the same time the first Design project was assigned. Isn't school great?

The project focused on 5 artistic points of view:  Closure, Continuance, Proximity, Similarity, and a grouping of all.  Here are 2 of my 5 that the class actually liked.

Continuance
The basic meaning of continuance is when your eyes naturally follow a path of the displayed image.  So I guess I got that with this one.


Grouping
I was actually trying to go for continuance with this image, but the teacher thought it actually presented all four points of view. Allrighty.

My favorite out of the ones that I did was for Closure.  It also happened to be the first one I worked on.


The basic meaning of closure is when your eyes make out object that isn't really there, but appears because of the objects surrounding it. Or something like that.  See.  Triangles!!!

Anyway, I ended up getting an A- on all five images.  So I was happy with that.

I-435

I am writing this from school.  I left 15 minutes ago to get here.  Now I am 30 minutes early to class.  If I would have left home now, I would have gotten here 15 minutes late.  

There is a stretch of I-435 between Metcalf and Quivera where driver's IQs drop below that a pickle.  Once they reach that area they join forces to destroy time and humanity and create confusion and cause accidents.  

Sometimes I am surprised people ever make it out alive.
