This project gave me a better comprehensive hands on experience on the Design Process. There is much more to designing than I perceived. You have to have an open mind to everything around you. There is obvious and ambiguous figure ground relationships all around you. Some figures geometric like a street sign in the sky, others organic as various shapes of gum on the ground.

In the beginning of this project I misunderstood how to find bring unity between my images. It took refining my thumbnails  with framing an cropping, to narrow my options down that still had no relation.  During the critique I received very positive feedback. The group made a good observation, that just adding more to my obvious figure/ground image, I could establish a better image for the  ambiguous figure/ground image. Which helped to bring the unity of now two organic shapes.

In the next project I will do my best not to think as literal. To open my eyes as an artist more because the answer to my problem was directly in my face. Thank you for all the critiques!
