Gestalt Project W.I.P.


Alright so, since I'm so far behind on this project, I obviously haven't made a whole lot of progress, but I plan on using most of the weekend to get this done. Currently I haven't started on the texture layering because I'm still researching the texture, value, and gestalt principles that are all being utilized in this project.
On the other hand, I do think I know how I want to start on the textures. First, I want to use veins from leaves for the tree branches and make the top half of the tree organic looking, and slowly blend down tree into more artificial and man-made looking textures to represent the change to more industrial environments in the world. Also as far as the globe goes, I want to use one base texture for the whole globe and layer more textures on top of each other (all also artificial and industrial looking) to build up the look of the continents and then hopefully a rough terrain. I do, however want the globe to have a lower value than the tree so that the tree is the main focus. For a background texture I want to use more natural and organic textures for the base of the piece because organic natural things are the base of our world. On a side note, I want to hopefully increase the values of the textures in the corners of the background slightly to make the background look a little rounded while still being rectangular.

I cannot comment, since there is no value structure, texture, or Gestalt.
