Design Principles // 3D constructed type lesson

The goal of this lesson was to as a group construct a letter by using 3-5 different plains starting from close and each plain getting further away.

Our group used quite a quick rough technique to create our letters, using rough cuts and 2d shapes where as some other groups tried to create 3D cardboard shapes on each plain.

Our initial plan was to create a capital S, we suspended the furthest and middle layer from the ceiling using string to create the correct height, with the front plain being much closer to the view spot.

It isn't the neatest result ever but when looked at through the view spot it definitely does the job.

We wanted to then a more plains to the piece to  add to the intricacy and complexity of the letter.
As we had already created the S with 3 plains we thought if we were to add another 2 layers then we should manipulate the letter that we chose.

Therefore we attempted to create a lower case G, adding to the existing plains and trying to add a coloured background t visible gaps.

Our final result.
