Broken By Design Preview #2

saturday, march 13th, 2010





I've got a horrible suspicion that this piece in particular is gonna change like 50 times before it's finished, but I'll take my chances and post it anyway. I like the idea of sharing this series as I work on it.

The concept behind Broken By Design is the combination of increasingly intricate vector imagery and very simple 3D geometry in such a way that neither medium is the primary focus. My goal is a look that feels simultaneously flat and nuanced, best exemplified by the deliberate fragmenting of these otherwise flowing and ornate patterns (hence the name). I've always felt that true artistry lies in neither creation nor destruction, but a thoughtful balance of the two.

Then again, I also think "Dancing Queen" by ABBA is the undisputed apex of mankind's musical achievement.
