color mixing...

Example of color mixing in real world!!!

Look at the colors being created on the wall due to mixing of red , yellow and green light!!!

Navigation - Part II

For 2nd part of the Navigation project the 1st part of the navigation project had to be reinterpreted into a physical piece.

For my 3D piece i took forward the line concept from my ipad for navigation. 

The design is inspired by a spool of thread. Each color of the chord represents each element. As the purpose of my Ipad app was to help students and act as a guide to them with projects that can be done, the same interactivity has been carried forward in the physical piece. The voice of the physical piece calls out for the interactivity and makes sure that the viewer is indulged in it. 

The circular motion of the spool is quiet visible in the whole piece. 

On each flap of the heptagon, each element is placed. In the front side of the flap, there is definition along with example for each element. The back side of the flap shows related elements to the main element along with the research work. Later the base of the structure shows the viewer different projects being done for different elements.

All these elements are connected through colored chords, which starts from the front flap and goes all the way to the back and the bottom of the piece and wraps itself on the central cylinder to form a spool of threads. 

As we have seen in the Ipad app, the colored lines start from the "elements of design" in a mixed form, here in the physical piece also the threads reached the "elements of design" by combining into each other. 

The idea behind combining the chords is, that any design is incomplete without any one of the elements, therefore, while making the final design, we combine the knowledge of all the elements to form a sound and beautiful design. 

In the 3D piece, balance has been maintained by the circular motion of the structure. the front of the flap has been divided into 2 rows grid which has been maintained throughout. As far as the voice of the piece is concerned, it calls out for curiosity to open up the structure and understand what is there inside it. 

Following are the images that will tell you about the design of the structure...
