Design class so far has always been held in a very abstract learning process. First we start out with a few guid lines. Then we draw a few lines. Then some more. And more after that. Eventually we create some rules, fix up the lines we drew, change them up a bit to add some flavor, add more lines to create density. The end product, a pattern that can be reproduced over and over with just some rules. This time around, I decided to ditch the traditional orthogonal lines. This time around, I picked up the french curve. And it all started out fine using an orthogonal grid to create consistent curves of different proportions, until I put everything on its edge. I changed it up turned the grid diagonal, which created still four sided shapes as a reference for creating later curves. BUT they were all the same lengths and angles anymore. This is were i got stuck and how i ended up with this:
a blank diagonal grid for the pin up. This is when my professor Robert Bracket pushed me over that damn annoying architect's block. Who cares if each shape wasn't the same. Just count them and start from there. Instead of measuring, just count those shapes.
