your bringing up some really good points Guyomech
"1) as suggested earlier, lighting. Simplest version of this is one where the central logo is the light source and we all create our pieces with that in mind"
I agree and I think this is extremely important. This could be a huge part of giving it all unity.
"2) vector patterns through all our backgrounds. We each get a different one- flower of life, honeycomb, Penrose tiling etc. we then agree on a standardized density, vector width etc"
I like this idea to an extent. Personally, I am saying alot with the background in my peice. A vector pattern like that would be very easy to incorporate into the background, and really add to the message, but I think a little freedom there is important too. like you said we dont want too many restrictions.
I think we will get a better idea of how to procede when we can get some sketches posted to see where everyone is going with this.
Another thing I was thinkin about. I started reading a book called The Yin Yang of Painting. It focuses on balance in art. Balance between high and low contrast, light and dark, warm and cool colors, basically every aspect of art. Now this overall image is going to have computer generated art, and traditional painting and stuff too right? Maybe we should get a good idea of what mediums people are planning on using, so we can also have balance with that aspect. I think it might look weird to have an oil painting in with a bunch of computer generated art or vise versa.
Anyway just some ideas.
