Sequential Figure & Ground

This design captures the elements of flow and continuation to maintain intrigue. This project can be conceptualized as a sequence of elements designed together to create a dynamic arrangement of numbers and letters. In boxes one to ten, the focus on shape and flow impacts the aesthetic of the piece through various uses of letterforms. The application of Gestalt principles allows a viewer to interpret the piece in their own way. From top to bottom, one can visualize a rhythmic pattern of black and white and the flow of the typefaces as they integrate. This project incorporates stable, reversible, and ambiguous elements that vary between boxes to generate a complete design of the word typography and numbers zero through nine.

The small changes I made from my original to my final composition add visual interest to my piece. My final arrangement of letters and numbers uses the themes of flow and rhythmic pattern to effectively create a unified composition.
