Figure Ground

Figure Ground

This was probably my least favorite work that I did in this class, while I did found the theory of figure and ground to be particularly useful I don’t think I was entirely satisfied with what I submitted in the end. While I can’t really put a finger on what it is exactly that I don’t like about the result I just know that I don’t think I was too happy on the day I submitted it.

With that said, the main thing here was that after choosing a word and editing it in illustrator, what I had to do was to create three different figure ground composition, where in the first one the black shapes would be the figure, while both the black and white being ambiguous figure and ground in the second and the white becoming the figure in the third one. The hardest thing about this project was the idea that we couldn’t tweak with the object that the negative space around the word we used created, meaning we were allowed to move them around but weren’t allowed to resize or anything so it was all about the placement. 31_ZoeK_FigureGroundExercise_D_I_F13
