RIPPLE EFFECT




The ripple effect is a term used to describe a situation where, like the ever expanding ripples across water when an object is dropped into it, an effect from an initial state can be followed outwards incrementally.

Concentric objects share the same center, axis or origin with one inside the other. Circles, tubes, cylindrical shafts, disks, and spheres may be concentric to one another. Concentric objects generally have different radii, as concentric objects with the same radius are equal.

One of the most familiar examples of concentric circles are the evenly spaced circles of a target used in target archery or firearms, and accordingly any concentric design may be called a "target" or a "bullseye" (after the center).

Anomaly=Deviation or departure from the normal or common order, form or rule.

You will start with a simple line. It could be organic or geometric in nature. You will then repeat that same line right next to the first. To break up the composition you may want to have a couple of "starting" lines. But the idea is that these lines will continue to expand outward. The space between the lines might vary to create a sense of value or depth. NO lines should cross over each other or touch each other. Please use a nice fine tipped pen. Do not have any recognizable imagery, this should be relatively abstract in nature. Repetition of line is definitely a key element. Don't let this image become stale, by creating an anomaly you will be able to keep the image fresh!
