How did you use the elements of art (line, color, pattern, visual texture, shapes, values) to enhance or hide the folding?

There's really a three-dimensional shape when you move the project on each of its sides and look at it at all angles.    The similar sides are opposite one another, and when you look at them diagonally as they are intended to be, either the colors or the curves really show depth. The white dots around the lines are to show a 'worn out' kind of texture. I chose to space them because there really is a difference between the two, both lines and the shapes. Without the white, they do not blend well. There are opposing color patterns, as well as diagonally each side matches up. Red and blue are primary colors, and very bold. I chose a warmer blue and colder red to display a laid back feeling, and add to the depth at certain angles. The finished structure can be folded up three times, and leave one side out to really focus on that if the person who's viewing it wants to. 


What is your audience supposed to think of the design? What "clues" have you given them to make them think that?


They're just supposed to see the depth and pattern i've incorporated within it. I didn't include any 'clues' because there isn't any need for them. I supposed the opposing colors could be a clue, or the opposing patterns, but I didn't intend for clues. You're just supposed to see a pattern and turn it the way you think looks best. Everyone should have a separate preference.

1. How can I use COLOR and VALUE to create an emotional reaction in my audience?

Well my idea behind this design was to get a kind of hallucinating or "tripping" feeling for my audience. The vivid and bright colors in the background really help display this, as well as the glowing prism.

2. What selection SHAPES will best relate to, or react with the image I chose?

The rainbow within the prism definitely has the best reaction.

3. How can I have a FOCAL POINT in all this visual craziness?

The pyramid definitely is the focal point
