I initially started playing around with the shape of a question mark just because there are so many theories and concepts regarding the conscious mind, we don't know what to believe.
Playing with cut out pieces of paper - combining them to create interesting compositions.
The shape of the question mark has slowly started to vanish and i am now left with a very interesting shape conveying a sense of science and music...
Developing into more of a logo type design.
I played around with a range of materials using the same shapes, creating various compositions. I like the overlapped effect and feel the colour combinations work so well together, creating really interesting structured almost logo design. I want my book to depict a simple look with not much going on and perhaps some negative space surrounding the central image.
I particularly like the cut out shapes mirroring one another, almost moving completely away from the question mark shape into something more abstract - exactly what i want to achieve as the mind is so complex and no one really knows how it all works, so something so simple yet very abstract fits the concept quite nicely and represents consciousness quite well.
I aim to experiment further perhaps with other alternatives like the brain (more obvious interpretations made into more abstract outcomes) also with the face - perhaps play around with fragmenting the portrait through shapes and colour to depict the complexity inside the mind?
