Concept Board: Symmetry


For this concept i thought of things that have reflective qualities, consistency, things that could be spliced in two.

Japanese Kabuki (歌舞伎) literally translates to "sing, dance, skill" and is translated into English as the art of singing and dancing. Kabuki performers wear makeup like the face seen above. This design reflects across the face to create a symmetrical balance. The same thing occurs in the fur patterns of many animals. Also found on many horses, this beagle has a wonderful white snout that leads straight up his forehead. The dog's paws also have white "sock" fur patterns. Cute!

These two images are more representative of a radial symmetry. The star fruit's 5 points all come out from the center, and separate into 5 even sections. Superman and Batman's hands meet in their high five, and as their bodies part- their chests, hips and knees reflect each other and line up.
