The design I chose to represent in sculptural/3D form is a Japanese movie poster by artist Tadanori Yokoo.
The original poster as well as the 3d version have many variations of contrast. However, the poster is very flat and it's the colour that gives it live. When putting this in 3D form, the work becomes more alive and it provides movement to piece where it wasn't before.
The contrasts used in this piece:
Contrast of Saturation:
This contrast is prominant. The bright saturated red that is used throughout the piece and leads our eye all over the piece, is a big contrast against the light blue of the sky. The light blue sky makes the red rays pop even more. The red rays in the 3D form take over the piece as the first item that you HAVE TO see before your eye can travel throughout the diorama.
Contrast of Light and Dark:
This contrast is obtained again by the bright, high value red and yellows and the low value blue. The spots of black as pop against the light blue background.
Contrast of Proportion:
The bright red and yellow give the most visual weight to this piece. They take up the majority of the piece are give it that pop factor.
