CGR 231: Link's Swing CGR 232: Medieval design

CGR 231

Zelda Wallpaper



The blue striek that goes around Link gives the effect of the sword swinging around him. The diagonal lines created throughout the piece makes yor eyes move around the page and see the entire piece. Link's angry face gives the added effect of him being in combat and is ready to fight to the end.

Jian



Although most people wouldn't consider a sword design, but in reality it is. This Chinese Jian was designed during the medieval times not just for its use in combat, but it was decorated to please the eye. Jians could be preserved as a collectable to be viewed for their elegant designs that are engraved not only on the sheath, but also ingraved on the blade. Back in the medieval era this was one of the ways art could be shown with the grace of fighting.
