Edited Sketchup views

Composition 1 - Wanted to show pieces gradually falling out of the main block, I deleted some which were in the main block to help make it look like they are falling out of a specific place, also as the falling pieces get lower they get more rounded
 Composition 2 - Extended some pieces and deleted others so it doesn't look so cramped
 Rhythm 1 - Cut the blocks in half so they're not so chunky then want to extend them all the way up so they look like they're wrapping around something
 Rhythm 2 - As the blocks get higher, I want to space them further apart so it gives the shape of a cone or tornado
 Figure-ground 1 - Cut the triangles into sections so as they get lower they look like they are falling, then space the cubes out more
 Figure-ground 2 - Put the triangles into sections again but added some detail to the cubes
 Asymmetry 1 - Rounded the small rectangles and put gaps in the main rectangle and added lots of little cubes underneath
 Asymmetry 2 - Changed the main rectangle into a grid like shape

Sketchup Trials

Composition in wire view and x-ray view
 Asymmetry
Rhythm
Figure-ground
Contrast
Hierarchy - Drawing the spiral was quite a challenge but I got a basic one drawn
Datum - Had heaps of trouble with this one as well. I'll have to play with Sketchup a bit more to get all the angles right so it actually looks like Datum

3D Sketchs

Asymmetry - This is too simple for my liking, I might try change it a bit in Sketchup
 Composition - I really like this one, it reminds me of a congested city
 Contrast - I wasn't really sure what to do with this one, so in Sketchup I might beable to figure out some different ways to place the shapes
 Datum - I had trouble drawing this one up so Sketchup might help with this one too
 Figure-ground - I thought this one could look quite interesting inverting the triangles into the cubes
 Hierarchy - This one was the most difficult for me to draw, I have a images of a spiral in my head but I couldn't put it on paper so maybe Sketchup will make it easier to produce
