Week 12 Blog Exercise / Visual Techniques

Intricacy, irregularity, activeness, and boldness.

My planned course of study, industrial design. Although foot ware may not quite fall in to "industrial design" per se, the ethics and design process behind the things we wear everyday have a huge impact on how we go about our lives.  The Air Yeezy above, probably one of the most highly coveted shoes among the vast list of shoes for collectors. Their unique materials and INTRICACY make them what they are, from their glow in the dark soles to the lace straps, these shoes have seen the design process through and through.

Regularity, stasis, economy, and balance.

 On the way other side of the spectrum, the Van slip on has probably been the best wide and known sell over the entire world. The design, slip on, exactly what they are, easy to wear and no laces! Simplicity plays a huge part in the design of these shoes. Though the shoes are very Regular(ity), they pose as a standard foot ware for most young adults, fashionable and never goes out of style.

The above shoes shave a couple visual techniques, each on the extremes of each other. Irregularity and regularity, you'll often see people wearing Vans on the street, while Air Yeezy's will probably be seen stowed away in a closet. Economy and Intricacy, the van has very minimal use of line and is very clean cut, while the Air yeezy has a ton of technically advanced materials, straps and air bubbles to keep the highlighted all the time. Balance, the Vans propose that shoes can too be balanced and look fashionably fresh and forward. Activeness, The Air Yeezys have a ton of things to look at, from the feel of the material, the straps, the high tongue and glow in the dark soles, who could resist? any Socialite wouldn't mind rockin' these to their next award show, sans taking away a bright moment in your career, ie Taylor Swift. If I didn't mention it, yes the shoes were designed by Kanye West,  ha!
