EADWEARD MUYBRIDGE: THE MALE AND FEMALE FIGURE IN MOTION

In order to really focus on providing a gender-less aesthetic, I wanted look deeper into both body shapes and structures. From my concept board, I decided to look at Eadweard Muybridge's works on the male and female figure in motion. From this, I drew both gender's figures and extracted shapes and lines that were fundamental to both figures. 

From my interpretable drawings, I contracted that male form is a lot more angular than the female form and also that lines and shapes of the female body possess more fluidity. I then used this information and extracted the lines to then use them when designing. 

I really enjoyed doing this research as it has further consolidated my understanding of how to incorporate and consider both body shapes when designing. It has also given me more context to my initial concept. If I had more time on this project, I would have maybe looked further into cross referencing the two body shapes more to ultimately discover what a gender-less being would look like.
