Design presedents

While looking through the design webpages and google images i came across these six precedents which all caught my eye. Each images relates well to the 'natural' aspect of pattern which i decided to focus on. Most of these are natural, organic patterns found in an outside environment. The last two images, although not actual photos of an organic form, are generated from nature. The doily type images is generated from silhouettes of flowers and leaves and the last image is a topographic map where the pattern is created by the different lines describing the formation of the land. I also found interesting the irony of the first image. Although the crops themselves are completely natural the way they form this linear pattern is very controlled and manmade. 

Project 3. Define Pattern.

After researching the definition of pattern i came up with multiple different options:

'A natural or chance marking, configuration, or design.'

'An artistic or decorative design.'

'A repeated decorative design.'

'A design of natural or accidental origin.'


Each definition is similar, talking about a 'design' but i decided i prefer the first definition as it talks about the 'natural'. This leaves me with many options to explore when looking for design precedents as lots of organic forms have natural patterning. 

Revised Render

This revised render achieves the same contrast as in my photograph of my model. The clean, elegant and very structured form is contrasted with the cracked, gritty background making my model jump out from the page.

Model

Final image of my laser cut model- Combination of card and acrylic with small triangular etch.
I tried to give my model and overall delocate and detailed appearance, hence the fine etching, which is then contrasted by the sharp edges of the model when picked up. I think the warm bright colouring combined with the dark black shaddows helps aid this contast. I also tried to form my model so that is didnt have one particular way of sitting, encouraging people to pick it up and interact with it- feeling the texture of the etch and the sharp edges.
