Ideals in 2D Design

The three images above are all exemplifications of two dimensional design. By definition, two dimensional design is, of course, two dimensional. It is flat, unlike sculpture or architecture. Because of this, one of the challenges of two dimensional design is translating three dimensional ideas onto a flat surface. Although these examples are done by myself and therefore not professional examples of art by any means, I feel that they do an adequate job of communicating the three dimensional world onto the two dimensional paper.

Introduction!

Hi there everyone... I am Lisa Ploof, a 21 year old Graphic Design major at the Community College of Vermont. I graduated high school in 2007, and attempted going to college twice before attending CCV and doing online courses. Both times, extenuating circumstances influenced me to drop out... I am now in my third semester at CCV, and have been taking online courses the entire time. I look forward to a great semester full of creativity. I look forward to seeing everyone's work, and hope that everyone enjoys mine as well! My Blog from last semester's Drawing I class is available for anyone to check out!
