Blue Moon Butterfly
This project consisted of a series of small graphic forms exploring foundational visual relationships, ultimately leading to a final deliverable that demonstrates my understanding of graphic form language through my given butterfly.

Class Prompt
An exploration of graphic translation through butterfly
Tools
Exploration
Positive/Negative Form
Using markers, I translated the blue moon butterfly graphically into positive and negative forms. In the process, I considered symmetry, figure-ground relationship, and symbolic versus realistic.
Composition & Scale
Using positive and negative forms, I experimented with composition to convey space, time, and motion. One exercise has no change in size and the other has a change in size.
Collage
In these two collage, one graphic with paper and textile, one 3D with found natural materials, I explored abstract graphic language.
Color
I applied the theory of color contrasts and used geometric shapes based on the composition of my previous exploration.
Final Phase
Application of colors
Poster composition in grayscale using my knowledge and experience from the exploration stage.
