Bianca Chang

Another artist I came across whilst researching was Bianca Chang, her work again surrounds typography. I   think this series is a lovely collection of very delicate and organic pieces.



Coulson Macleod

I started looking into ways that I could present the information required. I came across Coulson Macleod's prints and really liked them.





I like how simple the designs are yet how big the statements are. I think the 2 colour idea and eroding typeface work well.



Poster Campaign.

The next part of the brief was to create a poster in order to celebrate 100 years of GF Smith Poster. I hoped to use my 3d structure from part 1 as a feature of this but was also open to other ideas and experimentation. Most of my development was done through sketchbook as I found it easier to document them this way, whilst using my blog as a way to show my research and inspirational resources.

Final Outcome

My final sculpture:

Final Design Stages

I began the long task of completing my final design, which took 4 hours to perfect and was I definitely ready for a cup of tea by the end.

Inspiration for completion.

As I was experimenting I began to see a relationship between the pattern of my design and that of the Eden Project. I decided at that point I would continue with this idea. As you can see in the image behind the polygons lies a pattern of triangles; small and large. This is the basis for my design. Rather than it be a dome I want to create a full sphere.


 I think the Eden Project is such a fascinating design and continued to develop the project so as to incorporate not only layers of triangles but also a pattern of polygons.

Further experimentation in repetition.

The other idea for joining each section was by corner.


I started by creating mini spheres using this technique.

 Then built on the idea to create a pattern on a larger scale, I joined the corners by the exterior here


 Then played around with laying the two patterns together.


 Here the joins are made on the inside, I much prefer this as I think it looks a lot neater.
