Depth/Size Perception

This simple and modern design of furniture is related to my interest in industrial design which demonstrates some materials in the lecture. I found this image of table that designing physical space. This table and chairs emphasis on the human subject in the space with actual objects (table and chairs). This is also explains actual physical space that navigating its use of space. For example, the chairs can hide under the table and it creates more spaces when it is not in use which creates a new territory. I believe the designer try to interpret both actual space and practical needs of space itself which is related to this week's materials from the class. Its accessibility of space made from actual object (table and chair) provides the metaphor of for virtual space. This simplest and modernest furniture tells a lot of design concepts that has tangible product design which operates in ACTUAL space.

Tone & Color

This is a photo of Gentoo concept car. I picked this image for this week's exercise because it shows several elements that are related to Dondis basic elements of visual communication. The tone is operating in this image where it has lightness on the top of the car. Its egg shape of the car is visualized in tone because the light goes around the car and it is reflected by shiny surface, falls on the around the shape that have relative lightness and darkness. At the same time, one of the Dondis elements, shape, is interacting with the tone of the car. The car's wheel, which is circle shape, represents endlessness and protection of the car's concept. Also, the wheel has same size of smaller circles inside of a big circle which creates the feelings of the car could drive faster and faster.

The color is also operating in this concept car. Although, they use a few colors, it creates a cute, simple, and attractive car with only orange, white and black colors. It is not easy to recognize that it is a car because of the shape does not look like a normal car concept, but the color they used with the car bring the idea of new future car. Because the colors themselves create its source of fundamental. I believe that this color is interacting with texture element from Dondis. Once, the colors are expressed with the car, the texture need to recognize next. It is important that the color and one of the elements, texture, draw my eyes to figure out the value of the products.

Industrial Design

One of the Dondis basic elements, line, is clearly active in this image. This sketching of a future car is expressed by a hundreds of lines and those lines can be defined as a dot in motion together. Those straight lines expressed its shape and design itself. As in the sketches illustrated, the car looks sharp and detailed that toward mechanical design. This is professional area that I want to develop my field of design course.

This image that I chosen for expressing the shape in Dondis basic element. To study industrial design that I am interested in, I should know that each of the basic shapes has own unique characters and it has a great deal of meaning that express its perception. This image is somewhat active the shape where these same design of business card holders. The combination of small pieces of shapes make a triangle shape of business card holder and it derives the feelings of action, tension, and conflicts are going on which doe not look stable in its height.

This image tells about the color element where the two tones of chair loaded with the information. Use of yellow color with white color make the chair feels warm and comfortable someway. I also want to make these kinds of works that is expressed its meaning of chair itself through the color element. Moreover, it brings out the emotional part of the visual process  because the perception of color has a great advantage that makes the product somewhat unique.

Industrial Design

I chose this image as a example of failure in relation to syntactical guidelines have been succeeded in the goals for the work and the users. This table is failure in design where the table has all stress under it. At the first glance of it, it might be interesting somewhat because the designer expressed its legs as a dripping the paint to the bottom in red color that bring out the users' tension. However, it fails to establish its focus where there is no balance between the legs or the shape of the legs.

Industrial Design

I found this image as a good example of industrial design which has a relation to the goals for the work and the targeted users in my future field. This is a chair that made of recycle of bike tires. Using two bike tires, the designer creates a perfect balance both side of chair. The balance of the tires creates its stability of the chair and it achieves the perfect symmetry of the bike furniture industrial product  design.
