What Is A Line?: Constellations- Papercuts.



Another set of wonderfully bold and creative (paper cut) design prints by monpetitfantome on www.etsy.com
with constellations including Ursa Major, Sagittarius, Geminin and Perseus all made from hole-punch designs onto black card. Really simple idea that could easily be re-produced in my experimentation phase of the design project, but really effective.


Another great papercut constellation map- using similar techniques- the hole punch effect but once more altering the size of the stars according to their visual prominence within the constellation. For me, the best thing about this design is how it's been photographed- the light coming through the card onto the white stock behind reflecting the light that radiates from the stars at night. Brilliant technique- this is a definate to experiment with.
