intro to design and creative thinking
Problem/Creativity Challenge!
Vormator Project:
Illustrator Pen Tool
"Push" the buttons for info/examples!
*Trace the "Vormator" shapes using the pen tool , THEN do a "SAVE AS" and save the file as Vornator Challenge...you will then a new file with all of your traced shapesthat you can start creating from by dupicating. manipulating etc!!
The Vormator challenge to designers is to create work using a very limited palette of shapes and within strict guidelines. The goal of the project is to show the importance of limitations on the tools students can use and still successfully solve a creative problem!.
*Google "Vormator" for more info!
What exactly are you allowed to do and what isn’t allowed in the Vormator Challenge? The following rules have to be followed when creating your artwork:
-
You ARE allowed to rotate, flip and duplicate the Vormator Shapes.
-
You DON’T have to use all the Vormator Shapes.
-
Scaling is allowed, but ONLY proportionally, so NO skewing or free transform.
-
You CAN use the Shape Builder to add, subtract, or group or create the Vormator Shapes as you see fit...the Pathfinder tool may also be used! You may ONLY use the 8 shapes to create other shapes!!
-
The use of color is unrestricted; you can create your own color schemes, use patterns. use the swatch libraries etc (e.g. Adobe Color).
-
You ARE allowed to use gradients.
-
The shapes may ONLY be filled. NO STROKES!
-
You are allowed to use the Transparency filters or effects...experiment with these!
With these limitations in place each designer will face the same challenge. Everybody will be judged by his or her true creativity.
