For Graphic Design (ART-235) class at BYUi, our first major project is to use a single object and integrate it into seven creative strategies. I chose to use a string light socket and bulb to replace things that are associate with objects having to do with brightness and weight.
Seven Creative Strategies
Combination: This brings together two different or unrelated things to create a new object that still makes some sort of sense.
Juxtaposition: This is more about contrast, i.e. showing the differences between two things rather than their similarities.
Isolation: Focuses the viewer on an element in a composition by separating it visually from its surroundings or other objects.
Metaphor or Simile: This focuses on the meaning of the image created with your object as it relates to something else.
Change of Context: Contrasts objects with unnatural or uncommon environments to communicate an idea.
Physical/Shape Similarity: Uses physical similarities to showcase connections between objects that normally don’t connect.
Material Change, Swap, or Focus: Swaps a material property that we are accustomed to with another
