Mark making

Creating marks inspired by certain words.

For this we were given 6 words for example loud/quite, fade/bang. We created a series of experiments using different kinds of mark making to visually communicate the words.

Some of these capture the word really well. I think particularly the one with the circles of nothingness representing quietness surrounded but paint splatters of noise. The lines coming out from the middle represents bang very well with the gradation tones and cross hatching representing fade. I wanted to have more controlled lines to show calmness and more dark expressive fluid brush strokes showing a sense of noise. Thicker lines represent deeper sounds and thinner lines represent high pitch volume.
