Lukenda+-+Shape

Macauley Lukenda

The first image I choose (on the left) represents a symmetrical design. It does so because, if you were to cut the design in half, both sides would be exact replicas of each other. I like this design because using one shape repeatedly, the artist came up with this design that almost looks 3D, as if its coming at you and still going back into space while being set on a flat page. The design overall is pleasing to my eye and makes me want to take more than just a first glance at the picture.

The second image I choose (middle) represents asymmetrical design. It does so because, the shapes in no way, other than using mostly ovals, correspond with each other with a reoccurring pattern. Unlike the first picture, if I were to cut it in half, neither side would line up with each other. I like this design because of the deep contrast of black and white within the shapes. I adore the idea that the white circles almost look like they are cutting spots out of the black background, yet at the same time the circles almost look like they are on top of the black, as if they are popping out at the viewer.

The third image I choose (right) represents a radial symmetry design. It does so because, the rectangle shape is repeated multiple times while enlarging from that one center axis on the page. If I were to split the page anywhere the design would be repeated on both haves. I particularly like this design because the artist used a rectangle to create a radial symmetry circle. I enjoy the idea of using different shapes to create other shapes.
