Design Process - task 2 Final outcome

After digitally enhancing the designs for task 2, I was able to determine which designs would work best in communicating objectivity from a subjective word. As the recent designs showed variations of triangular shapes to communicate quick movements, I felt that this technique should include the variations of colour also. This was because several of the designs that were experimenting with colour showed how the subjective word can also be determined by the type of colour scheme used. For the word I had chosen, it meant using bright and sharp colours that oppose one another when situated side-by-side in a design. Adding these colours to the sharp movements of the experimental pieces and it shall communicate ecstasy even better.
As you can see in several of the designs, I had adapted the circle shape from the experimental stage, while including the triangular contrasting shapes within them. This way it made the designs movements look more captured within the symbol. I also used triangles from different stages in the experimental phase, by overlapping them to create contrasting designs. It was also suggested in a peer critique session, that the circle would almost act as a literal meaning for ecstasy as the design within the circle made the symbol look as though it were the drug of the same name.
Overall, I think that the designs have been successful in communicating objectivity from subjectiveness, because the designs were recognised by peers when assessed in the critique and their response was that they visualised the designs as the ecstasy drug tablets.
