Playing around with the facade of Warren Towers on Photoshop...
Design idea: a finger print and possibly smaller finger prints within the large one? Hope to provoke thoughts about the mark we make.









Or



     Maybe a world map that the fingerprint is on? Students could put their fingerprint on the country they're from?

















 Then using a map of Boston instead of the world was proposed...






Then I tried different ways to compose the overall image with fingerprints and/or footprints, using the artist Chuck Close as a guide.

After I experimented with a Chuck Close Painting on Warren Towers I tired to replicate the visual effect of fingerprints and/or footprints.


Imposing only footprints on the facade:

Visual effect of fingerprints from far away (almost pointillism-eque):
