Constraints

I was curious to work with the constraint of some basic shapes. Originally I wanted to see if I could correlate shapes of different cultures with the colors that represent them. So, for example, pointed domes would be in a color representing cultures that use them, or at least didn't suggest other cultures.

In the end, there were too many shared shapes between the different buildings that made cultural color coding ineffective. I'm thinking that there would have to be at least one more set of blocks with more specific shapes. I plan on experimenting more with these.

I created these in Flash so I could instance the shapes, allowing me to update colors on the fly.
