This assignment was to make a mark for a chose public space in Austin. My chosen spot was the Greenbelt. Before we began the making of this mark we had done a lot of research on the area to aid us and inspire us to make a concept. My concept was to separate busy daily life and focus on the natural undisturbed aspects that the Greenbelt provides. When we had our first critique we needed to sketch or create different marks under certain concepts. My initial 3 concepts were preserve, protect and enjoy. For Preserve, I used a literal sense such as the mason jar with leaves inside or the circle with leaves representing leaves pressed into glass for things like a coaster. For Enjoy, I used smooth lines to gives an impression of calmness with symbols such as a heart shape. For the mid-point critique, my most promising idea was preserve. Therefore, I chose to further evolve the idea of pressed plants to make a system of marks. My final product was three different pressed plants for each of the 4 seasons. The marks also hold an educational value as these plants can be found within the Greenbelt and include their names on the various marks.
