PARTI CONCEPT
The source of the inspiration, a train home to flowing graffiti, brought to mind the words organic, flowing and movement. The powerful rusted train is situated on tracks covered and wound with grass and weeds which lead to the word organic. Flowing represents the shapes of the graffiti, they’re smooth and round and keep the eye moving. Movement relates to the normal use of trains, in traveling. The parti, that represents this train car, has organic shapes and colors and keeps the eye flowing and moving. The parti captures these key words by displaying a zoomed in aspect of the graffiti. An egg shape followed by four dots shows organic shape and allows the eye to flow throughout the parti without concentrating on one point.
PATTERN CONCEPT
To further emphasize these words, the parti was rotated to create a pattern. The pattern creates pinwheel shapes that embrace the ideas of flow and movement while the colors of the pattern and the shapes use help to show the organic nature.
MODEL CONCEPT
The concept model embraces the words flowing, organic and movement. Wooden beads wrapped in color represent the word organic. The red and green contrast each other and gracefully sit around a brown wire. The shape of the wire represents the word flowing. Its organic “s” shape creates a pinwheel shape that can be seen and felt. When taking the model into your hands it is easy to understand how movement is represented. The wood beads slightly move along the wire when the model is moved.
