Designer pattern

Today we submitted assignment for designer patterns .  My designer is Hella Jongerius,,.

I  really feel  i am improving through every work..  The first step was designing a poster for ur designer. At first,I can not catch the key points:understanding her philosophy.how the poster should looks like,etc...Therefore, I did really unsatisfied work with the poster...And then we did static and dynamic patterns...The first static pattern was totally wrong coz I putted three complicated elements inside the grid....so I redrew it and the second one looks better...continuously, we painted the dynamic pattern....The black and white one looks ok after following Kelly's advice..but the colored one looks disgusting cuz my too distinguishing and distractive color arrangement. so I also redrew it and i hope it looks better than previous one..At last , it was our 2D and 3D. I spent too much time on my 2D,so my 3D is definitely weaker than 2D( too small I think)....Anyway, I putted my efforts on the Industrial design fundamentals...and i learnt a lot...  No matter what grade teachers marked, i  reaped the fruit after working hard.
