Visual Design: Dynamic Form Using 4 Values

My work is often criticized for getting too complex to early and being overly complicated for the sake of being complicated.




This week we had to take the silhouette of a robot and using only 4 values, create a dynamic and solid looking character. This exercise in simplicity wasn't as difficult as I assumed it would have been. I just had to pick my marks more smartly and allow negative space to do the rest.


This is something I'm going to utilize in my initial concepts going forward as it really lays solid groundwork for strong concepts.
