STRICT NOTAN 2

Next, I try a light-dominant composition. I lose the cloud shape which completed the circular composition, but this version feels lighter and simpler. Overall, it is more readable than the design in Strict Notan 1. It has clearer movement and a better balance between light and dark.

LIBERAL NOTAN

How does the composition change when I add a third value? It helps because the gray speaks for some of the intermediary values. It also reduces the overall heaviness seen in Strict Notan 1, while still revealing the patterns that form the circular composition.

OBSERVE: Neither the strict or liberal notans are able to convey the subtler passages of the subject—but that isn’t the point. Interpreting a composition in this binary way is revealing. It exposes me to options, and exploring those options teaches me about design.
