Twig Project Issues

Some of the issues that we, as a class, have run into during the different stages of our twig project have to do with scale, color, contrasting ideas, and mainly focusing on one key aspect about your design.
When experimenting with the craft of our ideas it is difficult to make things work well, and still be aesthetically pleasing. We have to figure out the best way, out of countless options, to make our projects work the way we want them to.
For some projects there were many things that your eye was drawn too, which ultimately distracted viewers from the designers original concept or focus for their project. In order to fix this issue it's important to reduce the layers, or variety in your project. For example if i wanted to focus on a specific twig i would do all i could to focus all of the viewers attention on that specific twig. Such as, play around with lighting, different colors, and different shapes that emphasis that specific twig.
It's important to experiment with different techniques of craft and focus. Creating different models, i have learned, is an excellent way for you, the designer, to see how the slightest changes may make a huge difference. Whether for the best or for the worst, it's interesting to see a difference from such a slight alteration.
