Week 1 - Proj 1: Shape Potential

Chase gave us all a different shape to play with.  I recieved the shape below ... some sort of dual triangle and squat square. I had fun with this assignment but unlike what Chase said, my designs got worse toward the end.

This was number 10. I figured "Hooray! I finished ... I deserve a trophy ... and a sandwich!" I got the trophy. And pizza.

This was the most common item to pop into anyones head. I know because I stood in the mall and asked random strangers what they instantly thought of this shape. 145% of them said it was  a bow-tie. So there. By the way ... I don't go to the mall.

This was the third idea I had. I was thinking of how much time this one classes homework is. I mean come on! I realize I have not been working on it like I should and it is now Sunday night ... but COME ON! Oh, yeah. It's and hourglass.

Okay. okay. OKAY!!! I know its a terrible drawing and you probably have to be told what it is. After I was finished I realized I was completely off the mark and should be drug out in the street and egged. It is suppose to be a mans mustache. Of course it could be a woman's mustache. Maybe she works at the same circus as Andre the Giant. *See first post for Jan 15, 12*

I thought this was so darn cute. It was my second go at this bow-tie pasta looking shape. The first image I ever saw when Chase gave me this shape was that of an alligators mouth. It could be a crocodile. Why don't you ask him. He is hard of hearing ... so put your head in his mouth; that's where his ears are.

A terrible version of a Star Wars Tie-Fighter. Like I said. Terrible.

I was working on the idea of two mountains reflecting over a lake. Yeah, yeah, I know. How tranquil.

This idea came to me in a flash of pure genius not seen since the Italian Renaissance master Leonardo DiCaprio
... err ... da Vinici developed his flying machine. Oh, yeah! It's a UFO with an alien.

Okay, this is no da Vinci but I enjoyed the exercise in loose perspective. They be WALLS, MATEY!

I saved the best for last. This happened during the middle of my brain storming. When I peaked. It is interesting the ideas that pop into your head when you are alone. I thought of the hangman's platform. I imagine this would not be an image anyone wants to see from a rope hanging above! Then again, maybe that is your thing. I won't judge.
