Playful vs. Periodic top eight

These were fun, but it was a little hard to try to come up with something original...

made with dying sharpie... R.I.P. , my loyal friend....

I really could have made these a little neater, but I wanted to save my new prismacolor markers for the final drafts. Looking at them now, I realize that there was more overlapping than anything else, but it's ok. 

Periodic:
Top Left - two cropped large black squares interact by union, while a white square overlaps both of them. I get the black form in the middle with a mix of intersection and interpenetration.
Top Right - Two cropped black squares are on each side, with a white square between them. The design in the middle of the white square is a combination of overlapping, intersection, and subtraction.
Bottom Left - a black square touches the edges of the frame, a white square overlaps that, which is also overlapped by another black square, etc, etc.
Bottom Right - three black squares are detached from one another.

Playful:
Top Left - a black square has a white square subtracted from it, and is overlapped by a series of growing black squares.
Top Right -  several black squares overlap each other messily.
Bottom Left - several black squares are touching, stacked up one on top of the other.
Bottom Right - One large black square is over lapped by a form of several smaller black squares that are  united, while a small square is detached from the rest.
