Design Philosophy

The design of the inside of a home, office, school or any building should revolve around the people that frequent these places. Everyone should feel comfortable, that they belong and that every aspect of the design suits the purpose of the building and the structures filling the interior. A design should change the mood and mindset of every person in its own way, making their day better or changing the way they look at the world is as much a part of design as any other aspect. Frank Lloyd Wright was a man of exact precision, and I have taken many of his own design philosophies into consideration when contemplating my own designs.

We were told to trace the outline of people doing actions, I just love the way this one turned out.
Trees I had found in a park close to my dorms, had to draw them for the sketch and I thought they looked very well done.
We were told to sketch the corner of a room and how emphasis on the shading and shadows playing on the walls,. I tried my best with this one and used a smearing method to get the shadows done correctly.
This was the sketch of the negative spaces of a chair. By focusing on these spaces it gives the chair a more bold look, therefore being more effective.

Sketch #7

By far my worst sketch but because we are forced to show even our worst work, I will show it here.

Sketch #6

This is the sketch of a chair that we used everyday and I chose the chair in my dorm room. I thought it turned out looking not too bad, at least it gets the point across!

Sketch #4

I struggled with this sketch because I had just learned how to shade and make objects seem three dimensional. This was definitely a more difficult sketch!
