Contextual Research- Chaos Theory, and Subjectivity

Chaos in graphic design

Chaos and geometric order.

Geometric order and chaos include two different concepts. Geometric order is represented in a mathematical order which includes, (in 2D: line, circle, quarter, or in 3D: plane, sphere, cube) and ideal relationships (perpendicularly, parallelism, symmetry, rhythm/regularity). However, Chaos is the opposite to geometric order.  Chaos includes forms and relationships which are complex and difficult to describe with the language of classic maths.

Figure 1 explored two graphic compositions, the first composition exploring a chaotic background with a regular area (geometric area), compared to the right image which shows a geometric background which includes a chaotic area.
