Project 3 : Polyhedral Structures Phase 2

GRAPHIC DESIGN : Packaging Design

1. Recognition of a Problem: The purpose of this project is to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a Packaging Design of an existing or imaginary product.

INTERIOR DESIGN: Wall Structures

1. Recognition of a Problem: The purpose of this project is to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a Wall Structure .

ART: 3D Polyhedral Sculpture

1. Recognition of a Problem: The purpose of this project is to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a 3D Sculpture

ALL SECTIONS:

2. Definition of a Problem:

·       Create a three-dimensional form based on polyhedral units.

·       The form should be free standing

·       It must include negative space in each unit to emphasize rhythm and pattern

·       You must apply a color scheme according to the concept of your design 

Size requirements:

PACKAGING: Will depend on product you have chosen to design a packaging for

WALL STRUCTURES: At least 12”x12”x 2”.

SCULPTURES: At least 12” x 12 “x 12”

Materials

Bristol board, color, printed or painted paper, translucent materials may be incorporated into this project. You are encouraged to research and experiment wit alternative materials.

 

3. Research and Preparation:

·       Look to the natural and built environment for ideas and inspiration.

·       Use white or colored bristol board or another semi-rigid paper that suits the construction method for your design.

4. Analysis

·       You should develop at least 5 sketches.

·       Based on the sketch concepts, explore your ideas as sketch as 3D models in bristol paper.

5.     Synthesis

·       Synthesize your sketch models into a final concept. Keep in mind that the design will continue to develop even as you begin to construct the final form.

6.     Evaluation:

Make sure that your final design meets all of the project requirements.

7.     Presentation

·       Use bristol board or any other material that meets the design need.

·       Use tape and adhesives that best suit your materials.

·       Work neatly and accurately. Quality and craftsmanship is important to the overall design.

8.     Implementation:

In your paper should include:

·       Sketches

·       Photographs of the outcome of PHASE 1 of the project (Various views)

·       Photographs of the outcome of PHASE 2 of the project (Various views)

·       1 Paragraph describing your approach in solving the problem in each phase

(Explain why you have chosen this kind of polyhedral/s, relationship between them, color scheme applied, etc)

Polyhedral Masks: Materials Studies

1. Recognition of a Problem: 

The purpose of this project is to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a MASK

  

2. Definition of a Problem:

·      Create a three-dimensional MASK based on polyhedral units.

·      It must explore positive and negative space in each unit

·      You must apply a color scheme according to the concept of your design

·      Your design should include at least 3 different polyhedral forms: Explore rhythm and pattern

Size requirements:

The MASK should be human scale or bigger.

Materials

One of the goals of this assignment is to explore materials. The exploration of alternative materials and combination of media, will lead to a more unique and creative mask.

We have Bristol board, magazines and foam board in the classroom. Also acrylic paint. You are welcome to use them all, but also are encourage to research on alternatives materials, such as cardboard, construction paper, printed or painted paper, translucent materials, etc.

3. Research and Preparation:

·      Research on sculptural masks from different historical periods and cultures: African, Asian, Venetian, Pre-Columbian:Maya, Aztec, Inca, Native American, Oceania, mask made by contemporary artists, etc.

·      Use white or colored bristol board or another semi-rigid paper that suits the construction method to make 3D sketches.

4. Analysis

You should  download from http://www.korthalsaltes.com/

At least 5 different polyhedral, print them, cut them out and play with their possibilities.

5. Synthesis

·      Synthesize your sketch models into a final concept. Keep in mind that the design will continue to develop even as you begin to construct the final form.

·      You don’t need to use the complete polyhedral models, you can combine fractions of each one of them in order to create your own polyhedral structures in the benefit of the expressive aspects of your mask.

6.     Evaluation

Make sure that your final design meets all of the project requirements.
