Student Commentary:
What is the central idea of your concentration?
My theme of shoe design came from my love of shoes. I worked with the 2-D design of shoes & used color, shape, & form. I used a variety of colors to grasp each piece’s character. My inspiration for each piece came from various magazine adds [sic] & high fashion.
How does the work in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea? You may refer to specific slides as examples.
I worked mainly with photography & learned different techniques as I continued my concentration. I balanced foreground & background with the use of positive & negative space. In the beginning I mayed [sic] many of my piece’s [sic] with the same one angle of a shoe, such as image 9. Images 1 and 2 were done after image 9 & they show my progress of shooting from different angles. Also I began to add lines & text to give many of my piece’s [sic] a commercial look.
Rationale for Score:
This portfolio demonstrates an imaginative and inventive articulation of composition that considers the student’s personal interest as a subject. Placement of the shoes is intentional and engages the viewer with the work, the idea, and the range of design principles. Proportion and scale, balance, unity and variety, contrast, and color demonstrate confidence that goes beyond academic compositional concerns. Moreover, this student uses both hand drawing and the computer as tools to compose highly crafted compositions that use both methods effectively. This work is an example of visual verve in an ordinary subject.
