Phase 4: Colliders

The purpose of this next phase was to combine our 2D gestalt designs together in a three dimensional format. This allowed for a lot of illusions with the added dimension. The above black and white piece is my very first 2D design that I formed into this collider. It creates a lot more figure ground than before, and has continuation in its lines and shapes from one side of the divider to the other.

This piece, as seen above and below, is a grey-scale copy of my monochromatic piece. I also used it's inverse on the bottom. There is a lot of flow and rhythm created by the direction of the triangles and how they disappear into the folds. The continuance of this basic shape drives said rhythm.

The above piece is another grey-scale design that has been collided and even features an external design piece. This 3D pop-out that seamlessly flows from one side to the next adds to the already strong continuance design principle within this piece.

The backside of the prior collider is seen above. It is another grey-scale that plays with figure/ground. depending on how you look at it, the design can look like a face cut and flipped at the seam, or it can be a group of geometric fragments splitting off from each other. The top/down view of the whole piece can be seen below.

My monochromatic collider design can be seen down below. It uses a lot of continuance and parallelism to direct the eye towards the center.
