3D Texture Wall Composition

My teammates decided that I could have done a lot better on this than I did. As far as the dots themselves go, I could have showed a lot more progression in their elevation.  They should have been crafted a little bit neater- perhaps a film canister for the large one would be better to use? The continuance in the dots is good, however someone did comment that maybe it would have been better if, rather than having the distance between each dot relatively the same, the distance between each dot was also a progressive thing. The similarity in size was good.
As for the texture background, the team decided that it was not the best background to use. The text was too haphazard, and some areas pulled away from itself, creating a distraction. The title was also distracting. They would have preferred a background that followed the path more, such as my large text background or sloped one.
The presentation, however, was neat, if a slight bit crooked.

PLayful vs. Periodic Critique

My group decided that both my compositions were very obvious, and easy to tell which was periodic and which was playful.  The meaning of both was very successful.

My playful composition, they said, had closure and was asymmetrical. The fact that it was off center worked well with the frame, and that it looked like the were really sitting on the frame. The positive/negative space was off balance, but that was ok.

As for my periodic, it had symmetry, and was symmetrical. It was centered well, and was clean. I do, however, need to fix the marker a little because there was a small area where the space was uneven.
