SKETCHING THE FOLDS AND BENDS
This is a sketch modal which is why a new style of making a design has been introduced: TRANSFORMATION.
The elements were chosen from the last assignment’s elements. Only procedures that should be applied were folding, bending and cutting without ripping off. Because of being a sketch modal, transformation process were practiced and a complete design were not done. Folding takes you to the point that you usually do in the previous assignments. But bending is different, bend has a specific duty: DIRECTING THE VOIDFLOWS. And it is quite far from being an ornament thing. OCT 30/2014
