An image comprised of one million individual dots.

This piece began with the simple notion of, “What does one million of something look like?” Its overall design and structure was guided by the principle of: For every 99 dots, the 100th dot would be larger than the ones that preceded it. This creates a hierarchy of various sized dots, each representing a specific marker or number tier. The larger the dot, the higher the number tier.

The breakdown of the structure is as follows:

• 1 Dot – representing the one millionth dot.
• 9 Dots – representing the one hundred thousands.
• 90 Dots – representing the ten thousands.
• 900 Dots – representing the thousands.
• 9,000 Dots – representing the hundreds.
• 990,000 Dots – representing the individual ones.

This structure is further divided into 5 distinct color layers. The colors are in an exact equal distribution of color, resulting in each of the 5 colors containing exactly 200,000 individual dots. This idea is further divided into each of its overlying numbered tiers. The breakdown for each individual color layer are as followed.

• 1 Dot (* Only one color layer contains this dot, in addition to 1 one hundred thousand dot – all other color layers contain 2 one hundred thousand dots)
• 1-2 Dots – representing the one hundred thousands.
• 18 Dots – representing the ten thousands.
• 180 Dots – representing the thousands.
• 1,800 Dots – representing the hundreds.
• 180,000 Dots – representing the individual ones.

This print was also created in 7 different color variations – ranging from greyscale to neon and even to all black.

This portfolio features various stages of this projects’ development.  Pardon the resolution of some of the images, as I’ve optimized them for speed over quality.  Listed below are some supplementary details.
