Failure 

1. Using Ten Squared as an example, describe an aspect of your work or something
you have worked on, where you have found a symbiotic relationship that is both
complexity and simplicity.
I have been working on a chandelier idea that is simple in the idea and the concept but to create it has taken a lot of thought into what materials would be most effective and work well. The creating bit is a lot more complex then the physical result.

2. Provide a conceptual example of a situation that has arisen during this project
where you have had a return on failure?
My design for the exhibition logo came back from the CDU design team and they didn't approve. The class liked it but it wasn't what they were looking for.

I like this image above with the quote saying "Its hard to fail, but it is worse to never have tried to succeed". I like it because it shows how it is worse of to not try and live in regret of not knowing what we could have achieved. It is better to fail and learn from it then not try and not learn from it.

3. Homework: How are you using the laws in relation to your contribution to The
Ten Squared exhibition? Provide a short explanation and example for TWO of
the laws so far. Use your work towards and your examples.

reduce 
The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.
organize 
Organization can make a system of many, appear fewer.
time 
Savings in time feel like simplicity.
learn 
Knowledge makes everything simpler.

For the exhibition logo I have applied the law of reduction. I simple text and the icon, the use of only two colours, red and black, and the bold lines kept the logo simple, effective and catchy. I also used the law of reduce. I made sure I kept it simple by reducing the details of the bird and applied the live trace effect to make it a flat black vector.
