PROBLEM
By using four black squares of the same dimension, create a graphic image to express the meaning of each of the following six words:
Develop 1 solution for each of the six words in a 8" X 8" square. Using only four squares may seem to be a rather limited palette for expressing such diverse words, but consider how these squares can be expanded into a more comprehensive language by using various design principles.
Analysis
The intention of this problem is to develop a geometric idiom through the discovery of the various two-dimensional design principles needed to extend a limited graphic vocabulary. The necessary principles include:

Analysis
The intention of this problem is to develop a geometric idiom through the discovery of the various two-dimensional design principles needed to extend a limited graphic vocabulary. The necessary principles include:
- reference
- touching
- overlapping and cropping of forms
- illusory space
- contrast of elements in terms of size, direction, space, and position
- dynamics of negative - positive relationships
