Week 9 Blog Exercise – Dimension/Depth/Space




 Back to Bike Frames
Here is a enviornmentally stable and hopeful design of a bicycle. Made of wood and also made in CAD, a rendering found on Gizmodo. The image explores several different dimension/space and perception parallels. Shadows below the tires give a sense of depth, the bike has shadows, there for it is standing up and blocking a light source. Relative size, we all know the average bike has the same size front wheel as the same size back wheel.  The frame itself has gradient texture, wood frame, we'll still be dreaming about this one to come true! Another depth clue is over lapping, we see the rear part of the frame in comparison with the arm behind the rear wheel, this gives the illusion of space between the two trailing arms. There is an actual prototype of this bike out there, but going to mass market? I just don't see it happening. "A Swan among Ducks"
