ACTION VERBS Opus 12

The words for this weeks opus are action verbs, the things that we do in this program.

SPECULATE

Speculation has to do with thinking about and reflecting on a subject. This is the number one thing we have to do when designing. We have to think about the implications of our design, what it means, represents, and why we're doing it.

COMPOSE

Composition is something we have to deal with constantly, whether the design is 2D or 3D. We had some practice with this in Suzanne's class with our boards representing the places we visited on the trip. The point was to compose the drawings and the super graphic in a way that created fluidity. This is a holistic approach to design and composition.

ENERGIZE

Energy is something many of us are lacking in these final weeks, but it's essential to our world as designers. We need to have energy and passion for our work, as its impossible to create something without any love for it. That energy will show in your work through a successful composition.

SHAPE

This is my light habitat project from studio, of which shape was extremely important for me. I created a 2D shape that was custom to the window and then brought that shape into 3D.
