Form
How should it look and hold together?
Form is not decoration — it is the argument made visible. Composition, colour, and space should reinforce what the work means. Weak form undoes strong concept.
Prompts to sit with
- 01Grid, radial, fragmented, or single figure — which structure carries the idea?
- 02What is the colour temperature of the concept? Which palette obeys that?
- 03Is depth part of the meaning, or should the surface stay flat and frontal?
- 04What does the composition tell the eye to do first?
Small practices
- Thumbnail 10 compositions at postcard size before committing.
- Restrict to 3 colours as a first pass — add more only when needed.
- Look at your thumbnails upside down; the strongest still reads.
