This concept came from the idea, that cyclops is large, angry and fearful. The bulldog came from reffering to the school yard game ''british bulldogs'' which is a similar  to rugby.



This concept has the similar idea to above, fearful and angry. Bears can also run fast for a short distance, like rugby players and bears are stocky like rugby players too.




The name giants came from the cyclops, because I imagine them to be big and have big feet. The eye on the rugby ball comes from the idea that, ''your eye is always on the ball at all times" plus cyclops have one eye too.

Sascha Lobe also used graphic typography to produce this advertising poster. By croping text, making shapes out of this, and using simple red, black and white colours it creates a strong image.

Geometric Shapes
                                  
Brian Steendyk, an architect from France, created this unique architecturally designed house.This exterior wall was made of metal, with a diamond pattern cut out. This allowed the sunlight into the house and created more warmth.

Fanette Mellier again produces graphic street signs and pin ups using the diamond/triangle pattern in a 2 dimensional form.

An interesting concept I found was:
Nick Bell's Exhibition Design about the effect of climate change. The concept of having the floor representing the terrain of the earth and the roof representing the atmosphere was cleverly crafted, by using materials such as mesh and metal and projecting light onto these. He turned the roof into a sparkling swirl of gases. Nick bell also used the trend mentioned above of using geometric shapes created in the earths terrain. The concept created provided an interactive experience for the visitors.
