So there’s this lovely little design group by the name of Vault 49 that I’d like to tell you about. Or rather, these new experimentations they’re doing, I’d like to talk about those: isometrics. Three-dee respresented in two-dee. Vanishing points. Ring some bells from “art” class in middle school? Same thing! Only now we’ve got these wonderful computer tools to make pretty pictures with! And furthermore, do these pictures remind you of a certain man named eboy? You’d better habeeb it.

A series of isometric design experiments – the first of many!

Please take a moment to see these lovely amalgamations and consider them in the current state of our graphic world. We are on the internet, where basically any graphic can be displayed. It is only our eyes that can limit what we see as beautiful. Our eyes which work in concert with our bodies which find things appeasing because of their qualities which affect the body. Thus, as designers, we must explore how each image we create affects the body.

See these 3D images displayed as 2D. The body, through the eyes, makes forms of them as they relate to what the body has experienced in real three dimensions. Thustly, as abstract as these images get, while still reminding the body of reality, the more excitement and inspiration the body can take!

And then, as I noted above, there’s someone who’s work comes to the mind when one sees these Vault works : a pixel manipulator named eboy – a man who’s goal in life seems to be to convert the whole of reality into a pixelated isometric world.

Are the people at Vault trying to bridge the gap?

UPDATE Oh wowie! Totally informed below by an in-the-know informer that eBoy is a collective! Of course!

Educated.

The first five images are from Vault, the last six (little thangs) are from eboy.
