Vormator is a project where you are given eight specific shapes with which to create a work of art. The people in charge of the project are hoping to publish the best of these works in a coffee table book. (Submissions are now closed).

These were the rules for the shapes:

1. You’re allowed to rotate, flip and duplicate the Elements
2. You are not obliged to use all the Elements
3. Scaling is allowed, but only proportionally, so no skewing or free transform
4. You can add, subtract, intersect and group elements as you see fit
5. The use of colour is unrestricted, you can create your own colour schemes
6. You are allowed to use gradients
7. The Elements may only be filled, the use of strokes is not allowed
8. You are not allowed to use filters or effects (e.g. drop shadows)

And here is what I came up with:

It was a lot of fun to be constrained and just play around until I came up with something. I can’t wait to see what others have done.

Here’s are the eight shapes:
