Direction Development
-

Developing Direction 3
Refining Final Direction
-
Work in Progress 1
Exploring different outlines for the puzzle
-
Work in Progress 2
Exploring different color options. I also removed the colorful splashes coming out of the puzzles, as although they were playful, I felt they distracted from the main focus of the piece.
-
Work in Progress 3
Exploring different puzzle images. While this option is visually interesting, I decided against this option for the final piece as the images on the puzzles became the focus rather than the puzzle piece moving from one puzzle to another.
Final Piece
The final minimalist piece could be applied to an article or page on career shifts, showing that our skills are transferrable and can be used to create and be a part of something new.
