FIGURE/GROUND

#1 Figure/Ground Reversal
The following exercise needs to be completed prior to continuing with the projects. The purpose is by using a predefined grid system, create an interesting design that displays figure/ground reversal. Graphic designers use this concept on a daily basis.

Definition of Figure/Ground: Any object (photo., illustration, Typography, etc.) exists in space and shapes the space around it. Figure/Ground reversal, in the example below, means that the white areas form shapes based on the position of the black shapes.

Use the tools in Photoshop to create a page of interlocking shapes demonstrating figure/ground reversal. Create a series of studies. Presentation requirements will be given in class.
