Inspirational Pieces

This mask is visually pleasing in its balance of color and shape and use of proportion. The asymmetrical style creates interest and plays on intriguing aspects. The side with the popping purple color uses the variation to extend the left side higher than the right. This traditional mask works well in design.

This mask has a similar asymmetrical style and design that allows for a differing proportion. The golden star works well with the feathers above it, making the design look unified. The mask also uses repetition in pattern.

This mask is a symmetrical style, contrasting from the previous two. The one asymmetrical element exists in the differing amount of stars applied to each side. It uses a variety of colors and shapes incorporated in the design. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                        Final Mask

This mask was done with a tropical, Florida style inspiration. Mardi-gras is going on down here right now, so I wanted to work with that style of mask as the basis of my design. Where I work there are Mardi-gras parties every weekend where I see tons of these masks. I wanted to display the beach lifestyle in this mask as well. This is a playful spin on the Mardi-gras already playful style.  I used the idea of the asymmetrical aspect with the use of the yellow star shape and rose attached to the top. I also incorporated the idea of pattern, as the cardboard background has large, differing sized and colored stars. There are a variety of different colors used. Each of the large, ornate objects are unified in color with something else on the mask. The large gold star is the same color as the gold ribbon, and the rose is the same as one of the large red stars. I feel this creates unity among the mask. The other objects are differing hues of green, also creating unity. All of these are done on a white background, creating emphasis
