I've tried hard to keep up to date with this blog but recently i've felt so uninspired, I don't know maybe its just the weather? Certainly not the time of the year as christmas is my favourite! Reminding me a lot of christmas is a model i made for a recent project, a lot like paper snowflakes i would make when i was little.
Derived from the word "pierced" i created a concept model that created an atmosphere with shadow and light. I designed and drew a lace like pattern on illustrator to form the outer shell. Then with the use of light at different angles that would mimic different intervals within the day, patterns would be cast out over the space.
I've seriously neglected developing my blog recently, i think i've just had a case of the blues! but after a hard gym session this morning i think i've blown them all away; fingers crossed! Introductory weeks at uni are finally over and now i can get into the real reason i'm there which is a god send for me; it's a real passion!
Over the last week we where asked to complete a drawing project, the kind of drawing which is just not my strong point i'm a lot more into structure and dimensions, but strengthening other areas can only help right? We had to do a small catalogued style of a museum installation on anything we liked, i can't tell you how many times my topic changed but i finally settled with the great British seaside! and on these recent rainy days it was the perfect piece of summer. I chose an illustrative style merely to hide my 10 year old drawing skills and as for the "colouring in" oh my i've seen children's colouring books with more expertise, but its all good fun. My final images i photoshoped to improve and just use the skills i have to my best ability this was my final outcome.
Uni has well and truly kicked in and as committed as i want to be in building up my blog it's most definitely took a back seat this week! Not much has changed except the vast amounts of money being spent on sketchbooks and numerous emails coming in from various design websites; which will start to become a feature and focal point of my blog to build inspiration for upcoming projects.
This week i had a small group project to produce a board for and we chose to base it upon Revolution bar in Newcastle; i personally love this bar, for a lot more than the cocktails. I don't necessarily agree its furnitured to its full potential and various changes would boost this space even more, but with the amazing architecture it definitely takes a second roll!
