Computer Assisted Art- Notan Designs

Notan is described as a guiding principle of Eastern art and design that focuses on the interaction between positive and negative space...the light and the dark...in it's simplest form, think of a yin-yang.

Traditionally they are made from cut paper designs, however, for this project, we will be creating a digital version.
