Week 11- CONTRAST


From this image, the use of contrast demonstrates in a successful design with the chair. The simple dark brown wood of the top of the chair make contrast with the zigzag shape of legs, especially there is severe angularity to sweeping curves in the pieces. At this interesting point, the simple wood make a contrast with a solid range of material.The contrasting in between materials that the designer create a successful design of chair itself, which is simple and unique where those two unbalance material bring out a success in design.


From this wall clock, the design of this clock is somehow confusing and not easy to read the time. This contrast of mirror with the function of the clock design is a failure because it is more likely to use in function of mirror instead of read a time. It does create a unique and interesting design of wall clock, but when people actually see the time, they are more likely see their face first and then figure out the time, so this design turns out not to be functional despite of the purpose of the designer's use of materials. Rather than see this object in successful design of contrasting the materials or functions, this serves only as a visual statement of design itself or as a decoration. Overall, this object is failure in contrast with the material and its functionality.
