Assignment 2.


For this assignment, we're supposed to perform at least five levels of abstractions on an object, and to derive at the "ultimate simplicity, the reduction of visual detail to the irreducible minimum. A symbol, in order to be effective, must not only be seen and recognized but also remembered and even reproduced."


The object I chose is the camera.
I admit my inconscientiousness when I fail to trace every single detail out using the pen tool. But I really don't see the point of doing it. It's tedious, and I'll abstract those details out anyway. So, here's my abstractions.


Level I: the original image.



Level II: Losing colours.



Level III: Losing words + some details.



Level IV: Losing more details.



Level V: the symbol.



Level VI: Losing its specificity.




Okay, so that's all for assignment two, a relatively simple assignment as compared to the others. Also, the object I've chosen, the camera, is a simple object to abstract. So, yupps. =)


Take a deep breath, and brace myself for the next assignment.
