Overview
Block system can be used to transition between images, blend backgrounds, or create visual connection between two elements (ie. humans and nature).
Flat building blocks
Below are a few examples of how our flat block system can be utilized to tell a story of change, transformation, and coordination.
Example 1
Randomized patterns of simple squares layered on top of photography
Example 2
The squares can also be filled in with photography to be layered on top of another image—a direct nod to connection and transformation.
Example 3
This method can also be used to create a pixelized effect on photography.
Dimensional building blocks
Below is a loose guide on how to create dimensional building blocks.
Construction
Skew
The skew is approximately a 31º angle.
Stroke
The stroke weight is always 0.5 in Onyx.
Color
The gradient is Gypsum from 100% to 15% transparency.
Layout
Step 1
Put perspective on your flat building blocks.
Step 3
Compose them into the shape you desire. Fill with color and photography.
Step 3
Once you have your desired shape, they can be layered on top of photography.
Usage & examples
Below are a few examples of how our dimensional block system can be used.
