SCISSORS GRAPHIC TRANSLATION

This graphic translation was created for my Graphic Design 1 class in the spring of 2020. The assignment asked us to pick a household metallic object and create a black and white illustration that considered light and shadow. I first drew my selected object, cuticle scissors, one hundred times to study its form. I then created three illustrations that considered the object of study in minimal light, moderate light and intense light. From those I developed my final graphic translation, which can stand alone and interact with typography. Lastly, I created a symbol made of only five separate lines and one dot.
