This week i worked on producing my idea digitally and creating it on SketchUp. This not only shows another skill level in my project but will also help me to see my idea and possible change concepts which I hadn’t seen before.
Whist on sketch up I looked at colour, lighting and how to hang the Lilly’s…
I found that the Lilly’s hung better and looked more aesthetically pleasing when there was more of them, all quiet low but at different heights. Looking at the image with blue lighting gave the image a very different feel and atmosphere, almost cold and sinister in a way, i did not want this as it doesn’t represent what i am trying to show. I also found that the Lilly’s when hanging with thread that you could see took something away from the design and made it less magical as you could see the constriction behind it.
Final SketchUp image:
I was really pleased with how my image turned out, i found that the colours of the space I have chosen and the Lilly’s worked really well together. I also found that to make the effect that i want i am going to need to create alot of paper Lilly’s to really get the affect that i want. Also these will need to hang lower than i originally thought as Lilly will need to interact with them and move within them.
I strongly believe that the environments that we live in profoundly affects us as individuals. Having a sense of comfort and belonging in a space can nurture us to have a healthy mindset and outlook on life. I am driven to make a difference and improve the lives of others through design, whilst simultaneously demonstrating the impact that our environment has on us. This ethos is applied to every design that I create.
My driving principle is to create a space that will change someone's life for the better, as well as being unique, inspiring, and captivating; something no one has seen before and will never forget. During any stage of the design process I allow myself to imagine how it would feel to be in the space that I am creating, and how I want it to feel for all the users of this space, but also how the clients wants it to feel. I try to express this emotion and feeling through my designs, to portray the space to the best possible standard. I have always been intrigued in how every individual feels differently when the confront a space and I want to utilise these feelings within my work.
My work aims to create something fascinating that will stand out, but also encourage an emotional response to an environment. The projects that I have been a part of have shown me that I am determined to create something profound and impactful that will change how we see our current environments; working as an individual or as part of a team. I believe that this year I have done this on a very small scale, this has only encouraged my passion to design.
