Project 3 Precedent Images and Ideas

The first four images are microscopic images of snowflakes. What I like about theses is the hidden structure which is contained within very small and delicate objects. Some design concepts that I have gotten from these images is perhaps using symmetry and geometric shapes. Even though they are geometric they are also quite organic looking taking the shape of flowers.







What I like about these next four images is the crystalline surface that they all have. In the first image I like the cracking visible and the rainbow effect the surface has when it reacts with the light.
In the second image I like the mountainous, glacial quality created organically by the crystals. Perhaps it is possible to create a similar colour effect as a post process in the rapid prototyping.
In the next two images I like how the slender crystal shapes have created a ‘forest’ of sorts. I feel that this will be quite an interesting surface texture to experiment with. On the second one there is a layering of these long crystals to create a haystack look.
For the last image the part that interested me was the lattice created and the weaving. In Rapid Prototyping it could be possible to create a weave which I think would be an interesting surface.
