Biomorphic Form Language

Creates organic forms through curves rounded volume and continuous contours.

Visual traits

• curves
• swelling volumes
• continuous contours

Expected changes

• Curves and rounded volume are more likely to increase
• Angular transitions are more likely to recede

Definition

It creates an organic appearance through curves swelling volumes and continuous contours. It does not determine a particular organism technique composition or medium.

In more detail

It uses smoothly joined contours and rounded planes to create forms suggestive of growing or flowing things. Subject and production method remain separate choices.

Includes

• Organic forms centered on curves and rounded volume

Excludes

• A particular organism
• Technique
• Composition
• Medium

What this does not imply

• A particular organism
• Technique
• Composition
• Medium

Variability

Because the source is general, degree of organic form may vary by output.

Usage

• Specify only curves and rounded form; specify technique separately

Distinguish similar expressions

• Specify particular organisms and media separately

Typical uses

• Create organic contours
• Add curves and rounded volume to form

Possible failure modes

• Curves become weak and forms turn hard
• Forms become so vague that contours cannot be read
