The brief: Snowflake generator
Forming of a snowflake is determined by some simple principles - temperature, humidity and different combinations of them. Because the weather conditions are changing all the time and the growing crystals face numerous random factors during their journey, finding identical snowflakes is statistically impossible.
The brief 2.0
Think about something in which you see great beauty. Why is it so fascinating? Explain that with a poster.

In between the briefs
This is the mindmap I made before composing the seconf brief for myself. So I kind of cheated but it did work!
The process
I haven't been keeping a very good track of my process, because I hate processing. It's painful almost all the time except at the very end. But I'll try anyway though this is a bit afterwards-produced.
NodeBox Scetch-1
These snowflakes have been composed using the supershape library. They are not real, I'll try to make the final ones by using L-system. In that way I could make the crystals growin a same way they do in nature.
But the basic idea can be seen here. The crystals are so light that you have to concentrate to really see their beauty.
NodeBox Scetch-2
First sketch for the layout. I want the poster to look empty.
Text or the font are not defined yet. It's so much easier to do nothing instead of working. There's always that huge amount of shit that comes out before "design" and it's hard to think of it as "process".
Snowflake details
Gap in my process, but I show these final crystals anyway.
Stop for a moment
This is the final one. (Literally. Numbers two, three and so on are to come...)
