"The Sad Circle"

In a world of straight lines and squares sits the sad circle :(

 

Points of design taken into consideration:

1. Opposing negative and positive space, the blank framed green box opposing the blue circle

2. The balance of the red: since this hue is vibrant I had to balance the upper red square with the lower right checked red

3. I like balance, therefore I made the collage symmetrical to please my personal aesthetic

4. I felt I had to balance the use of patterns and solids so they would not compete, however if you look closely the solids have texture themselves, also aiding with the "balance"

5. Each box takes on a different character and feeling playing against the plain lonely circle...
