Assigment 2 - Abstraction : Critique and changes
Wednesday, November 21, 2007
The main issue was that the final abstraction I produced during the first draft was not as obvious that it is a dog. The 2nd last abstraction was deemed to be a better one. A coursemate suggested leaving the nose on the final abstraction as the nose is quite a significant part of the dog when we want to recognise something as a canine animal.
For the developed design, I traced it out on Photoshop using my Tablet pen and coloured it black for the first abstraction. Then I start removing details from the dog. Using the computer to do this is much easier as the dog remains at the same size except for the changes that I made.
This abstraction seem much better than the first and the final icon do look like a dog, which was quite an accomplishment.
