11.01 encoded diagrams

The encoding process does not follow a strict recipe or formula. It is an exploratory search into multiple trajectories that redefine primary, secondary and tertiary precincts within the given underlying order. The studies test orientation constants and variables. Black elements might turn white. White elements might turn black. Extension-line regions can generate new planes and volumes. See examples that were shown in class: neiman jazz composition and encoding sample (these are PDFs that can be opened in Illustrator). This encoding was made in Photoshop.

Process notes: Make duplicate copies of each of the three cross-mapped diagrams. Proportionally scale the drawing for an 11" x 17" format (the 10" dimension is increased to 15"). Make each diagram (all layers: black, white, format, ext-line black, ext-line white) into one Live-Paint object. Selected regions based on the existing extension-line network are filled with black, white, or no-fill. Label each diagram.

Submissions: Generate two alternative encoded diagrams for each of the cross-mapped diagrams. Upload a total of 6 AI files. Print each file on 11" x 17" sheets.
