OBJECT TRANSLATION
ICON DESIGN, POSTER DESIGN
I designed a series of representations of a shoe. I initially sketched variations in marker and pen, focusing on line and shape respectively, then refined the best into vectors. I then created a series of posters using a variety of approaches (rotation/repetition, scanning, the golden ratio).
