FINAL BOARDS - Depot Project

This is by far the best project I have done so far! I am so amazed at how much work I put into this project, I have never done so many plans off of one floor plan. I learned that sustainable practices are easy to use in a building. I tried to step out of my comfort level a little by using dark wood floors instead of lighter floors and it was a fun experience but I have a long way to go with getting it to work together. I learned how to manage my time well and what to give priority to while still keeping in with the quality of the project. I really enjoyed making this poster digitally in InDesign and realized that Sketchup wiring makes it so much easier to draw perspectives over. If I were to do it again, I would rethink the material selection in the living room and kitchen because I feel like I could find a better color combination in terms of a residence with a resident with visual disability. It was difficult to have a contrasting room without being too neutral and without going too far off of my concept. The best part that I had done, however, was the guest room; I absolutely fell in love with the guest room and the concept of an art hotel and how to merge art into a room without just putting a picture in the room. It reminds me a lot of just a heavily childlike themed room; it fits a lot with my hobby of making art so it was the most relatable part of my project and the most fun to create. I'm ready for more!

Final Parti

Inspiration struck when reviewing the many models that the Freshman class in the interior design program had done. I loved how many of the students had chosen to cut out patterns in their models and I thought it would go well with my "implied wall", closed but open, concept of my project. I drew from my inspiration and made two circles, then I took my parti's radiating lines as guides for the cutouts. I made each cutout different for visual interest and added color, orange in the center fading to purple on the outside to mimic a glow, since my inspiration deals with light. The models rocked back and forth on its sides and the cutouts were very dynamic. I learned some new techniques from the Freshman and tried to keep it simple while adding much visual interest. I am very satisfied with my model and feel that a good concept model lends itself well to a good design.

Final Pattern

Textile

Taking one of the concept model partis, I made pattern out of it by mirroring and rotating that one block and transferred that pattern onto an actual piece of fabric. The analogous color scheme (orange, red-violet, and red) made the pattern pop! Emphasis was given to the lines networking the pattern together. Through this process, I learned how easy it was to make a pattern and how many different ways you could make a pattern. Also, the strategic placement of color can make the pattern look different, bringing emphasis to certain parts or other of the pattern.

The textile that arrived LATE was actually not what I was expecting. I was expecting brighter colors and the pattern was done too big, the test sample I had printed out on the plotter was much smaller and more compact. I do like the fabric, however, and would like to work with Spoon flower again.
