Unique shapes for designing composite images
This invention consists of a set of six unique shapes that can be freely arranged on a two-dimensional surface to create a composite image.
This is a continuation of the U.S. provisional application No. 61/716,565
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a design game consisting of uniquely defined shapes that are used to create composite images.
2. Description of Prior Art
Prior design-forming games consist of geometrically identifiable elements which are arranged in a progressive way to form an abstract image or fixed in preselected locations to form a mosaic art. For example U.S. Pat. No. 4,651,993 consists of modules in the shape of a square progressing from the smallest of the series to the largest of the series according to a definite geometric formula. Another example is U.S. Pat. No. 4,993,984 which consists of a mosaic art kit made of equilateral triangles that are fixed on a board in preselected location.
Neither games provide the freedom of selectively placing the design forming elements at the discretion of the user on a two-dimensional surface to create artistic designs and stimulate the visual thinking without any restriction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThis invention consists of a set of unique shapes as depicted in the drawings. The plurality of the said shapes can be freely arranged on a two-dimensional surface to create a composite image.
