Reflection:
1. How can this be done?
2. What aesthetic differences can be seen in the two versions of the design?
3. What factors do you have to deal with in the three-dimensional piece that was not at issue in the two-dimensional drawing?
To complete this process, the image had to be modified with each different model to suit the different formats. In the 2D design, I was only constricted by the idea that my piece had to be a one-line drawing. Other than that, I was able to take full creative control and add as much detail as I saw fit. I could erase, which allowed for as close to perfection as I wanted. In the 3D designs, this wasn’t so much the case. I was working with materials that didn’t have an option to ‘undo’ the last move. In each medium, every move I made had to be intentional and would not cause issues with later parts of the design. This caused me to make each design a little less complex in order to successfully recreate the design without having to restart the process. For example, in the cardboard piece verses the yarn piece, there is a lack of eyelashes and freckles and the bangs do not connect. In the wire piece, the face shape changes a bit and there had to be a different connector to the lips than in the other pieces. They are all different in their own way, which I really enjoy.
