04.01 re-mapped diagrams take 2

Create a second set of 6 diagrams: primary vs. secondary; vertical vs. horizontal; ascending vs. descending; continuous vs. discontinuous; thick vs. thin; tension vs. compression.
  1. Avoid literal interpretations.
  2. Economy of means: use as few elements as possible.
  3. Justify the relationships of every element.
  4. These are distilled diagrams: simplify into essence of the idea.
  5. Add notations (description) to each diagram.
  6. All diagrams should relate to each other as a series (comparisons are made across multiple diagrams).
  7. Every mapping figure (solid figures and void figures) generate extension lines (horizontal and vertical) solid elements generate solid extension lines; voided elements generate dashed extension lines (small dashes).
  8. Line weight (stroke) is important.
  9. Givens: the measures grid (underlying grid) and the AABA grid (chorus sections) can be turned off.
