Exterior Sketch

 
This sketch was a little bit difficult for me because I am not the best at drawing from a perspective view, but I am getting better at it. This exterior sketch was definitely good practice for me.

Key Sketch

This key sketch was the first sketch during this summer class. Since I have already done some of these sketches before, most of them turned out better than the older ones. Especially this key sketch, which ended up being fun and I learned how to create an object the exact same as it is.

Philippe Starck Poster

 
Philippe Starck was my chosen Designer and Architect who inspires me. His work is amazing and the reasoning behind his creations is impressing and unique. Learning about his work really enhanced my design skills and enhanced my ability to think out of the box.

Elements & Principles of Design


 
Learning about the Elements and Principles of Design was very handy. I now know how to look at a space and know how to relate the structure to the elements and principles of design. This poster was inspired from the Ancient Roman time period.

Modern Furniture Poster

 
This poster was created by Brecken and I, based on the objective of finding modern furniture and incorporated the dimensions of the furniture in the poster. This was an interesting poster to finish because it is difficult to find furniture on the internet that tells you the dimensions of it.

Textile Pattern

 
This is my 10x10 pattern turned into a 30x30 pattern. All of the elements in this designed were chosen from the Ancient Roman time. The background is made of Roman brick work that was often used during that time period. The vertical coins are Roman coins, and the other circular vertical images are Roman marble tables. This project enhanced my ability to create posters in InDesign, which is always fun and interesting. 

Concept Statement

My idea generator was inspired by the use of the elements and principles of design used within the architecture and design of the creations during the Ancient Roman period. The Romans incorporated many columns in their designs and that explains the use of the roman coins on the side in vertical lines in the textile pattern. The background is put together by the repetition of bricks, which the use of Ostia rocks in ancient Rome is common. The use of the Roman table in the center of the pattern is significant because the Romans often used this type of pattern in their architecture. The main emphasis is on the marble table because it pops out and grabs your attention.

Geometric Pattern

 
My Geometric Pattern was inspired by the triad color scheme with the dominate colors: pink green and yellow. Photoshop is an amazing way to learn how to distort pictures and turn them into looking like something completely different. This project made me think about how to put the colors together and also learn how to use to tools in Photoshop. .
