Workshop notes provided by Colin Straub
This floral design is a variation of the vegetative design style, as it has more than one point of emergence and elements of parallel design style.The focus of this design is the contrast of line, forms and textures. The contrasts should be minimal as there are strong linear and textural contrasts. Too many contrasts can be confusing to the eye and the design loses impact.
The form of the foam base should remain visible and the textural contrast between the right and the unadorned left-hand side of the design should be obvious.
It is important that the visual flow of the design is uncluttered. Choose a limited range, and very limited quantities of floral materials with contrasting forms and textures.
A basic grid of willow, Salix species in a simple parallel line form, visually anchors the floral materials emerging from the top of the cubed form.
Distribution of the floral material in the focal area of the design is not traditional, as it would visually unbalance and affect the integrity of the overall form. The featured over layered linear materials should be minimal, but in various forms for added textural interest and depth.
The focal area of the design should appear light, in contrast to the heavy appearance of the base cube. The provision of negative space is a major consideration for the success of this style.
The design style can easily be scaled up, but carefully consider the mechanics and visual balance of the piece.
