Thematic Variation [Graphic Cont.]

The following material is from a recent completion--a study of Thematic Variation through graphic representation.  The project began as a series of three graphic variations based on a primary concept from my Hyb_Arch [01] project from December.  Each composition focused on capturing the essence of several elements of composition and graphic devices--utilizing underlying conceptual ideas from my process work and project development to later create a cohesive presentation of several graphic spreads.

[Image 03] : Final production page two: First two of the original graphic variations.  The upper variation utilizes a hand-drawn composite as a base for further exploration.  The variation seeks to explore layering, contrast, and impact--as both graphic devices and within the context of the hybrid design itself. The bottom image, also utilizing the same hand-drawn composite as a catalyst for thematic variation, emphasizes transparency, materiality, and pattern in the context of the hybrid design.
