Project 01: Scissor Combinations
I chose to use scissors as the lens of each of the Six Creative Strategies. It gave me a framework for developing creative design solutions to express my ideas. The images are examples of combination, isolation, metaphor, change of context, physical/shape similarity and material change/swap/focus. I used the Adobe suite, Photoshop & Illustrator. Adobe images were used.
