dangerous concept



Working with the idea concept keyword dangerous, I decided to work with spikes and the colours yellow and black as many danger signs are that colour and show the danger. So my idea being morphing from normal spheres to spikey viral looking dangerous spheres which then are used to shape the shape formed by reification. The shape will be in the form of a cobra snake, the most lethal and dangerous snake as it attacks its prey of an innocent bird where it shows the danger in my concept. Using the background as a yellow type colour and the objects as a near black colour to represent danger. It will be made of 3 viral spheres and two of them will be a light safe colour close to white but not quite, which will help form the innocent bird that is attacked by the dangerous and lethal snake. It helps show the juxtaposition through the slight colour change. For this colour I will use a texture that will look flowing and safe and the dangerous, the texture will be of spikes.
The invariance shown as it is obvious throughout that it is made of simple round spheres.
Using a corner to show the danger as the snakes prey is trapped in a corner with nowhere to go.

idea-nature



These are actually two different idea concepts but with the same adjectives for the space.
These adjectives being natural, pure, radiant, fresh, and flowing
So the first image is of a sun, which turns into a stalk with leaves, reification making the leaves and invariance using the same shapes but transforming them to make the image becoming a door and then a building.
The second one from stalk to tree to treehouse on a tree.
These ones I find quite interesting but not that interesting.

Overall Idea

My main overall idea would be made digitally on 3d max, and plan to do something along the lines of reification and invariance. I really like the idea of the forth idea. But I think I can make the freedom without the need of birds and the juxtaposition not so obvious as to use a prison cell. Instead I could use a snake, who is stuck on the ground as well as the opposite of a paraglider that is made and snakes which is a natural organism. So another juxtaposition can be natural and man-made.
From the front it will look normal but from every other angle, I plan for it to look not normal but distorted and scewed in many ways. The form in which my project would use would be video. As it gradually changes from sphere to paraglider to a diving paraglider to crashing and becoming a snake, stuck on the ground with no freedom. The audience will first see it from a angle that looks as though it is nothing as shapes are just randomly placed in the different angle, but as the angle changes and see the full image it will give a surprise.

idea 5


This image is of slow leisurely, sluggish and unhurried vehicles, as bikes cannot go that fast and the old car will be slow, and the plane makes it a sort of leisurely ride. The juxtaposition being land and the sky. I do not like this idea very much as it doesn't really show much and doesn't look that interesting.Making it 3d but will make more distorted if on 3d max, but as drawing, found it hard to draw the distorted bit of it. Using the same shapes through my ideas and showing invariance and reification

idea 4-freedom (reification/ invariance)


This idea is an developed concept of my original first idea. But to show my idea of freedom, instead of just birds and shperes, I made the spheres into doves and then into a paraglider, that would display the freedom within the idea and I think the doves kind of symbolise freedom to me. Then the free roaming paraglider will land into a prison cell where it will resume its original form, spheres.
I quite like the idea of this idea, and how if I do this on 3d max, which I intend to do my project on, all the pieces will be not in a straight line, but will be assorted everywhere and dispersed and distorted but as you see it in one angle it will look just like one picture together.
The adjectives for this idea was freedom, roaming, liberation, redemption, salvation.
Trying to make my idea more 3d by shading it in particular areas to look as if light was shining on a 3d object.

Idea3-Sketches (reification and invatiance)






My third idea was of reification and invariance, as random siple shapes are formed first into a random bike/car to and angel and then to a devil all using exactly the same piece but changing slightly, being invariance, and the image is made by reification. I do not like this idea as much as the other two though.

idea2 cont.. invariance/ multistability



Dog with muzzle and bird with top hat. These are more ideas of what I could put on another face of my box for my second idea.

Idea 2-sketches (reification, multistability)



'








The second idea of mine was of a cube which was made with reification.Each face of the cube would be seen differently with their own images but joined with multistability, for as you rotate each face of the cube it would look like some other image within the same image. If I do this idea, I think I will only do 3 faces of the cube, as 6 just sounds like too much. The juxtaposition being the last image would be the opposite of the first image.

sketches- reification and invariance (freedom)



Free, soaring. This is my first idea with a few sketchings. Reification and invariance as the image is made of the shapes surrounding it making it reification and invariance because it originally was from 3 simple spheres and throughout the whole transformation you can tell it was made from that one sphere. Using the juxtaposition from being free to being trapped.

Ideas

I have thought of a couple of idea for my assignment but have not yet decided between my second option between multistabilty and invariance. My first idea was using simple shapes in 3d max starting with simple spheres that would slowly morph and separate and then eventually the emply space inbetween it would form a bird in the distance, and then as it begins to dive, it will seem as though it comes closer and more of the body will be able to be seen. The blocks making the shape will see of a sky texture and coloured. The shapes will be the same but only slightly shifts as the bird comes closer. The bird diving will eventually hit the ground and the it will become a reitified cage with 3 spheres floating inside
This will be a mixture of reification and incariance. reification will form the shape and invariance as throughout the whole thing you can obviously see that the bird was formed through 3 simple spheres, which were transformed. The juxtaposition being freedom and being stuck in a cage
My second idea was a reificated cube, but on each face of the cube it would be the shape of something, but rotated would look as something else. and each of the faces would do the same so would be multistability. The backgrounds would change texture in accordance to the image. the juxtaposition being maybe the first and last image totally contrasting reach other

Abstract conceptualization

With those images I searched for in the research part of this assignment was that within those images, it was mostly plain and black and white in quite a few. and to make it better I would firstly make it colourful, but not just randomly bright colours but colours that I think would suit it and make it look more real and attractive to any audience. I'm not saying that black and white is dull or bad but I think in some of those images the black and white let down the image considerably. As for just being flat, 2d images, it could be made into a real object and within that object would be the illusion as in the case of the multistability image of the pretty/old lady, it would have been very interesting if it was made into maybe a type of statue that was made just of the head and shoulders. The images that actually did have colour though, none of them had a natural colour to them which I found quite disappointing. As for the images that seemed dull and boring I think if it had a purpose other that the image it would have made it more interesting, like for the emergent box, instead of boring lines it could have been made out to be a see through windowed room with little bojects inside or something. At the moment I'm not too sure what to do in the terms of concepts but I still wish to concentrate on reification and maybe multistability or invariance? But definitely using digital means to do so.
