Hierarchy + Contrast

Hierarchy through contraSt: The Russian Constructivism discovered that the dramatic use of scale, photography,and color imbued their political messages with a powerful and provocative voice. These Pioneers used contrast in size, angle, and value of elements to create hierarchical separation.

In this project you will build a hierarchy by combining an image of your hand with a list of autobiographical facts. Your elements are restricted to 30 or 45 degree angles, scale, position, color and transparency to control the transmission of information. Use the 8×8 square below to create your design.
