For my abstract clock, I was having a creative block and had trouble approaching what to make. I thought since most of my other projects have been pretty literal, I would make this one more abstract with a focus on shapes and how they can change based on hours, minutes, and seconds. I was thinking about how time is focused around growing, until it restarts and how that concept could be reflected into my clock. I decided to have “bubbles” that represent hours, minutes, and seconds organized in columns. I wanted these bubbles to slowly grow based on each of the timings. I also made it so the bubble slowly goes from transparent to opaque as seconds, minutes, and hours increase. Originally, I was thinking I wanted a shape inside the bubbles that would turn based on the time, but decided on a line to draw a better connection to a clock. I gave each bubble a line in the center that rotates based on the timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
