This project helped me learn how to use Photoshop, a program I’ve been wanting to use for a while, and in turn showed me what we can create with just a few images taken from the outside world. The only thing I regret is not framing my second ambiguous photo properly on Bristol paper, making it looked unfinished or not drawn properly to submit.  But I look forward to learning more about figure-ground relationships in other types of graphic design, as well as the thoughts of my other designs from my peers.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 1

Urban Artifacts: Phase 2

Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

For this part of the project, I had to choose 2 different images that I did on Photoshop that best shows the figure ground relationship from and ambiguous image and an obvious image. Tracing the photos was the hardest part for me, since I couldn’t get a good light to shine on the Bristol paper. Inking the photos on the paper took a while, especially the second photo, but it wasn’t too difficult.

This project told to me differentiate the difference between obvious and ambiguous figure-ground compositions. I also learned that the two figure-ground compositions can really affect the implication of the design, they have completely different means of expression.  During the phase 2 of the project, I didn’t quite fully understand the obvious figure-ground compositions, and it resulted me created six ambiguous figure-ground compositions, but a light bulb popped up in my head after seeing other colleagues’ work, now I feel confident with it and also if the future project contents works about obvious figure-ground compositions, I’ll say I am very confident about that.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 2

Urban Artifacts: Phase 3

This phase of the project required lot of focus and attention, because its very different from previous phase. Hand traced is not perfect compare to the digital, thus, I’ll say its little difficult. Overall, I’ve spent about 2 hours on this.
