For the final assignment, I decided to use a collection of ‘doorway’ photographs I had collected on a recent trip to Europe (summer 2022) with which I have previously not done anything with.
The natural progression starts with the order the doors were encountered on my trip.
The next grouping is roughly based on color/brightness of the doors and photographs, starting with white on white and progressing to a silhouette. This was not an exact science as attention is paid to both the door color, but also the brightness of the photograph.
When starting to analyze, I note the general shape of the doorway (curved, straight). Next I was focused on the ornamentation, if any, on the doors and what style and where this was evident. but separating and examining the elements on their own I could gain a better understanding of individual techniques and how they come together.
Finally, I plotted all the doors on an x/y plot focused on ornamentation (or minimalism) and edges (or curves). Additionally, I generalized some door sketches in attempts to make the graph more immediately legible.
