Visual abstraction

A bit more focused on design and to express things with symbolism, icons, semiotics, gravity, rhythm and contrast (old flagship from Asker Design College :))













This is meant to be "dynamic". I thought of rhythm, music, circulation (kretslopp) and equalizers..





















This is "harmony and anarchy", could happen I thought more of harmony and chaos. It is a simple grid made out of two for-loops with quad's, where all the coordinates grow and shrink in position, randomly, as the value in the x & y axes increases. Quite nice, it generates a new chaos every time it is played, either in a loop or as a still image.














"Irony" is an animation that shifts when you move the mouse over to the bright side. Discussions around if the glass is half full or half empty is the inspiration, as well as the traditional tragedy/comedy theatre masks that is the symbol of lifes complexity. The animation works out from that the grass always is greaner on the other side, wich for me is sort of an ironic view..





















"Fear" has a sharklike expression. So many teeth that you cannot count them, at least not when in motion. There's also an effect of bloodsplash when mousearrow moves too close to the mechanical chewing.





















This is "nature", it is an animation that grows out like a feather, a wing, to some sort of flower, while the background ripens. I like the little seed in the middle as a symbol for beginning of life, in nature and for mankind too..
