Final Images

This is my visualisation that I handed in yesterday. 

And as I've been working with both knit & print with regards to furniture, I decided to use this as my strong image.

VISUALISATION

For my visualisation I knew from early on I wanted to create a light piece for somewhere where there was the most light in the structure of the new build. After having a tour of it I realised the perfect place for this would be the lanterns at the top of the building, as the light from the rising sun sends cascades of light through the entire building, which would fully utilise the pieces that I made. They would likely be made out of either etched glass or mirror, and since I didn't have the facilities to do this, instead I used clear perspex to show what they would look like.

Screen Images

I ended up giving Mary 5 images and she told me that she is going to choose between them which two to put on the big screen. So the images I gave her are:

Nearing the end of the blog...

As the end of the blog is fast approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss what our final posts are going to be of. These will be the ones that appear on the first page & I think it would be useful for all of us to show our end points, so what it is we're finishing on as individuals.

This could be similar to what we're giving in for the screen output.

If anyone has any suggestions just say!

Making your own vectors

As requested by Vanessa & for anyone else who might be able to use it, here is a little, hopefully simple tutorial on how to create your own vector images using Illustrator.

If anyone would like any help, feel free to ask!

This is just a piece from my inhaler that I photographed because I liked the shape! To draw over it, use the pen tool from the left hand side.

I find that drawing in a bright colour helps, you can always change it afterwards. Drag the line into position & click on the middle point to start drawing the next line.

Draw all the around the shape until you're happy with it. And continue for as much of the image as you would like.

If there's parts that you don't want, just miss them out or if there's parts that you want to add then just use the same method!

Once your image is complete you can change the colour. Personally I like adding an outline to my own drawings as I think it makes them stand out more.

Smarin

I've been looking for unique types of furniture design for my visualisations & came across Smarin by designer Stephanie Marin.

There are some really amazing ideas shown on the website for anyone interested in interiors and furniture. A lot of the things on there really link in with what I'm trying to achieve, they're fun, stylish & unique.

MAURIZIO GALANTE & TAL LANCMAN

 This is quite a fun piece of furnishing textiles, where the designers have taken a Louis XV arm chair and created a strinking digitally printed marble pattern, making it look very much like a hard throne made of marble, rather than a soft comfortable arm chair. I love the play on hard and soft, and the fun, perceptive nature of this piece. More at Cerruti Baleri.
