They are wither holes or the top of pyramids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>My piece: <\/h2>\n<p>To prevent me from directly copying Richard I took circles to be used rather than squares. Going of the single color idea, I chose to use blue as my main color.

The way the vector sphere rendered, also gave a nice ring completing the &#8220;eye&#8221; feel, but also gives a tunnel like visualization to it. I thought this looked fairly static and decide to play with lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"646\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Capture5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Capture5.png 725w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Capture5-337x300.png 337w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><figcaption>Adding Lighting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With lighting you can see that the circle actually renders as a sphere, but still gives the idea of an eye, if not it kinda looks like the<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kromestudios\"> Krome Studios logo<\/a>. Putting all the toggles together, I find that the following is the best result. Although the geometry is uneven unlike the inspiration I find an appeal to this as it gives a &#8220;Tron&#8221;-esk vibe and ephesizes the layer illusion as the background sphere looks as though its a donut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"479\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Capture4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Capture4.png 640w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/08\/Capture4-401x300.png 401w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Final<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspiration: Richard Anuszkiewicz &#8211; Lemon Yellow Square This piece uses a solid color center and using lines around the square gives an illusion of depth.
