sketchup assignment

2008-05-06T08:58:00.000-07:00

I had a interesting time experimenting with the many different tools on sketchup. I have used CAD and Rivet but never this... it was a learning experience.

elsewhere

2008-05-05T08:19:00.000-07:00

These first pictures show the first impression that I got when I first went to elsewhere...wow!

This taped off section is "my space." It was located right when you enter the front door. I chose this space because I liked the way the things were "neatly" stacked. For some reason the suit cases at the top and the boxes at the bottom seemed to have there own little organization that no one could really understand.

I found the picture of the lady to be almost a pun because it says "photos predating elsewher."

habitable wall...andy warhol

2008-04-23T11:04:00.001-07:00

My first sketchmodel was litterally one wall. I thought if I drew out all the spaces that I needed then some idea would come to me and it kind of did.

In this sketchmodel I decided to take a plan and praise some parts to create more depth in my habitable wall.

My first scale model started out with this curve. For some reason I wanted to challenge myself and add curves because my client, Andy Warhol, thougth outside the box also.

I was actually pretty proud of my final model. I added these colors because they were the colors that Warhol used in his painting of Marilyn Monroe that was pretty popular. I decided to keep the curve because I liked the feel it gave.

I added the columns for support and also because I wanted something different that wasnt your average model.

I loved this picture while I was photographing my model. It is my scale figure in Warhols private, downstairs space.

bottle caps...

2008-03-24T07:28:00.001-07:00

This is my welcome mat. I started out with many ideas such as birdfeeders and water fountians. But I decided to go with this mat. I used a drill press and drilled a hole straight through the bottle caps. Then I put them together using hemp string. It created a grid like connection.

2008-02-28T13:04:00.000-08:00

I actually enjoyed this project, kinda. We got in our Moore Building group and basically put all that hard work and research together for our first presentaion board. Our board have 15 prospective drawings, 3 diagrams, 5 detail drawings, and other basic presentation stuff. My favorite part was our color sceme, I thought our color choice of grays, blues, and orange really made our board great.

2x4 project

2008-01-30T19:25:00.001-08:00

This is my 2x4 project. My first idea of a system was to make some sort of grid. I tried making different angled grooves in the wood and fitting them together. Then I decided that I would challenge myself and go with the angled cuts that fit together. I cut the 2x4 longways with the ban saw and then made the joints using hand tools. I actually enjoyed working with the wood because it was something different. I do like my final project but it could use some work. If I were to go back I would have to measure better so that every groove lined up exactly.

three more messes!

2008-01-28T08:00:00.001-08:00

This is my messy purse. I was pleased with the drawing overall although I would like to add more shading and contrast.
This is my messy bulletin board in my room. I really liked the contour drawing so I did not add shading. It would be nice to go back and add some hatching. This was my first mess drawing of my painting basket. I was not sure exacatly how to show the pattern of the basket but I did like the ending result.

2008-01-22T19:16:00.000-08:00

I wasnt sure what to do for this project so when I heard table/chair the first thing I thought of was a desk. So I did some sketches of different designs of desk and this was my favorite. It is made out of matte board and tape, this is the sketch model.

This is my final to scale model. 1 foot=1 1/2 inches.

design journals

2007-12-10T18:36:00.000-08:00

1. English Home
English Home is a journal from England. It is a magazine that has a wide range of designs in it. It showed things from interiors of homes to different types of furniture. I really liked the compositions in the pages. They were different and changes from page to page.

ten interior environments

2007-12-10T12:21:00.002-08:00

The first thing that catches the attention when looking at this interior space is also one of my favorite things in this picture is the lights. I also like the contrast of the light and dark browns. The cabinets are a light colored wood and the floor and stools are a dark brown. I also like the glow the lights give.

I am not really a big fan of this interior space. I believe it does work with the green and reds but I personaly would not put this design in my personal home. If I were to make it better I would probably make the walls a bolder color to brighten up the place.

I think that thsi interior space is adorable. I would put this in my sons room in the future. It looks like a simple painting on the wall and the dark colors in the bed spread give a contrast. It is very unique and not your average childs room.

This room seems kind of empty. It does look like a childs room which does allow for the empty space for a play area and extra space for future designs. My favorite part in this room however is the train on the bed. It is made to look as if it came out of the wall. I think it is really cute.

I don't really like this room because of the contrast of all the dark furniture and the natural lighting. It seems like there is a lot of empty wasted space. I personally wouldn't design this room the way it is.

This room also has a lot of contrast. For example all the white walls and colored furniture. There is also contrast between the white walls and black railing. I really like this room a lot. The natural light makes the white appear to be brighter.

This room seems to be almost too crowded. With all of the furniture being the same color I think that the walls should be a bolder color. It would give more contrast to the room.

This room seems like one of those rooms that is just there to look pretty and no one really uses it. To me, the off white and dark brown chairs do not seem to go with any of the other furniture in the room. The natural light does however add a nice effect.

My favorite aspect in this room that grabs my attention is the carpet. The room is pretty simple and the busy floral carpet adds that life to the room. Another thing that grabs my attention that I like is the bright yellow painting or photograph hanging in the right corner. It also adds some pazaz to the room. This is one of my favorites.

I like the color of the walls in this interior design. It is not your average color, it makes the room seem contemporary. The natural light makes the contrast between the walls and the dark hard wood floors that much bolder. This is another one of my favorites.

ten designers

2007-12-10T12:21:00.001-08:00

1. Holly Beck
When looking at Holly Beck's blog I got the feeling that she is just a normal fun person just like us. Her blog was not bragging about all of her designs. She just had information about herself, even her taste in music. I really liked that about her. I also liked her designs. They all used natural colors. Her designs looked so simple and elegant which is something I really like.

2.Thomas Pheasant
Something that really caught my attention while reading about Thomas Pheasant was this quote, "My goal is to unite the timeless principles of classical architectural orders with the pristine spirit of modernism." I really liked this quote which made me respect Pheasant as a designer even more.

3. Madeline Stuart
She is a member of the Los Angeles design community. When reading about her it really focused on integrity and beauty. Her work has been featured in Elle Decor, House and Garden, House Beautiful, Town and Country and In Style. Obviously she has been very succesful.

4. Albert Hadley
Hadley was inducted into the Interior Design hall of Fame in 1986. He is from Tennessee. He has been with his design partner for twenty-five years. He is very well known and successful.

5. Rick Sunberg
Rick Sunberg has designed buildings such as, Whatcom Community College Student Center, Seattle Asian Art Museum and many other buildings. He designs buildings that are used alot therefore he is experienced in things kinds of things.

6. Peter Marino
I really enjoyed Marino's website. I thought it was simple yet different. He designs many different types of buildings like retail, residential, corporate, condos, and others too. A photo that I found interesting in his designs is of a stair case that has a small spiral in the middle, I thought it was a very creative design.

7. Renzo Piano
Piano has some very nice and creative designs. He does not design your average builing or interior instead he designs things like the Auditorium Parco della Musica and the Redevelopment of the Genoa Old Harbour.

8. Ron Dayan
Dayan wanted to be an interior designer since he was a small boy. He is from Los Angeles based Piccadilly Designs and has decorated homes all over the United States. He has also been featured in television shows such as Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and Good Morning America.

9. Philippe Starck
Stark is a French designer of the New Design and is very well known. His designs ranve from contemporary consumer goods to interior design furnishings. He designs goods from toothbrushes to chairs. I liked reading about him because he doesnt design expensive items he designs things like simple household items. It was also interesting that hes uses unusual combinations of materials.

10.Sherill J. Baldwin
Baldwins philosophy of interior design is that aesthetics and design are necessary for enhancing human development and providing a sense of well-being. I liked this because I agreed with her. She is obviously also a very successful and well known designer.

10 grapic/media designs

2007-12-07T12:25:00.001-08:00

The best place on earth, Krispy Kreme, does have a logo that was designed believe it or not. This logo that hasnt changed in many years has been very successful, Im sure it had some help from the donuts though!

Our trusty spartan is well designed I think. It has the school colors and shows a lot of detail. It has just enough detail but not too much.

Everyone knows Tony the Tiger. I thnk him on the Frosted Flake works very well. The contrast of the blue and orange works well. The red in the Kellogg's matches the red in Tony's bandana. I think it was all planned out very well.

The Cheez-It box really stands out among the shelves. The white letters really stands out against the red box. I really like the colors red and yellow together, I think it really attracts customers attention.

The Build-A-Bear logo uses the primary colors red yellow and blue. Its design has stayed basically the same for many years also. I loved going to Build-A-Bear when I was little and still do, so I think it was designed very well.

Who doesnt love the Pillsbury doughboy? Who ever came up with this design had a wonderful idea, it is very simple yet it still is so famous and recognizable after all these years.

Another very recognizable graphic design is the Google logo. Not many people realize that these simple things had to have been designed by someone. The Google logo is changed for the holidays yet it still keeps its simple letters.

The Betty Crocker spoon is a very very simple desgin that has lasted throughout the years. I love baking so I know my Better Crocker boxes!

Every girl loves chocolate right? And the best logo to see sometimes is the old fashioned Herseys. It has stayed basically the same for as long as I have known it therefore there must be something great about it.

When i think of graphic designs I think of labels. And when I think of labels I think of my favorite thing food and drink! My favorite drink is Pepsi so why not it? Its label changes all the time but that white and red circle always stays the same.

http://www.carrilynndesign.com/
I really liked the look of this site. It was very elegant feeling. I really liked the transition from link to link. The pictures were great too. The main links stayed at the top of the page the whole time which allowed for easy navigation.

http://designsbymarkinc.com/
I was really impressed with this site. The first thing that I noticed was that music played when the page was opened. It was not, however, easy to navigate. I would click on things and the site wouldnt go anywhere. That I wasnt impressed with.

http://ai3online.com/
This site had wonderful graphics. I was really impressed. Everything you clicked on gave you a different experience. It was organized well also.

http://alidpa.com/Home.htm
This site was kind of dull to me. The home page was all black and white except for the one picture. I did like that there was a sort of slide show on the home page though. I think this site is organized pretty well. Everywhere you go there is a label for everything you need to know.

http://ia-global.com/
I thought this site was very nice. The apperance was simple but it made it look professional yet creative. My favorite part was the links at the bottom. When you placed your curser on the small photos they would get larger and information would appear about them. I really liked this one.

http://deliointeriors.com/
I thought this site was okay. It looks plain but it is organized very well. I liked that the main links stayed on the left side of the page no matter where you went. It provided just enough information and didn't have so much that you got uninterested.

http://pinkdoorinteriors.com/
I liked the fact that this site did not have an almost all white background. The title Pink Door made me expect something completely different. I was expecting to see bright, modern things, im not sure why. The site was very nice though.

http://jtidworx.com/index.htm
This site was nice but it had little information. When you clicked on a link all the information was organized in bullets, just words no discriptions. For what was there it seemed pretty organized.

http://www.cippanansa.com/
I was not impressed with this site. It took forever to load and I thought it was very plain. When it did load and i clicked on the link it got a little more interesting. It was simple yet effective, I ended up liking it.

http://www.odesignsolutions.com/
I liked the first impression that I got from this site. It was also simple but I liked it. I wasnt a big fan of the way it was organized. There was very few links on the home page then more links were on the other pages. You could always get back to the home page from a link on the bottom which was nice.

http://balongue.com/
This site looked professional. It seemed almost boring to look at though. But when you click on a link it got interesting. It had very beautiful photographs and many views of each builing/interiors. It seemed like a very nice company.

two new technologies

2007-12-05T14:44:00.000-08:00

1. A new technology that interested me was the PenSketch. It allows you to write on a computerized board with a certain pen and your writing is transferred to your computer. It allows for a faster work process for designers that are in a hurry.

2. The seconed technology is Adobe InDesignTechnology in computers changes every day, new programs and software also. Adobe Indesign is new technology that can be used by us as interior architecture students in our future years. I actually have this program and it has many options that I have and may never figure out. Adobe InDesign provides so many options. It has programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, InCopy and Dreamweaver. This program is allowing designers to create better websites (Dreamweaver), Photos (Photoshop) and much more

ten buildings

2007-12-05T09:30:00.000-08:00

This building is the Sheth Tower. I really like the modern design of this building. It is really pleasing to the eye. The round edges really contrast the square straight edges that surround this building.

This is the 30st. Mary Axe. It is in London, England. To me this building looks like a very large sculpture more than a building. This building is also a little out of place to me. It does, however, look very well designed.

This is the Sidney Opera House, obviously located in Sidney, Austrailia. This building really contrast its suroundings. All of the buildings in the background have straight edges where the Sidney Opera House is almost all curves. It it a very beautiful building especially located on on the harbor.

This the well know Leaning Towere of Pisa. It is obviously very well designed to have been built in 1174. The lean is caused by the site it was built on and the mistakes made in doing the foundation. I really like the way it looks and would love to see it in person because it looks like it is not real.

This is the Mesa Verde located in Colorado. I wanted to write about this building because it used to be a place for basket makers. My mother makes baskets and it interested me. It is constructed in many cliffs and is three stories.

This is the Furnitureland South building. It is the largest show room. I think this is a really great almost funny building. It seems a little out of place. In a picture it doesn't even look like a building. It is a wonderful idea but I probably would not have designed this building for my town.

This is Falling Water designed by the famous Frank Loyd Wright. I like his designs and have heard of his work thoughout my school years so I thought it would be nice to do this building. The reason his designs are so famous is that he designs the buildings in the environments. I really like that about this building.

This building is the Disney Concert Hall. It is located in Los Angeles, California. This building was designed for Walt Disney in 1987. This building looks complicated to me for some reason. It seems really busy.

The name if this building is Dancing House. This building is very interesting. It had to have been designed very well to be strong. It looks almost as if it is about to fall. It really goes along with its name. When looking at it, it looks like it actually is moving or dancing.

This building is called the Einstein Tower. It was designed by Erick Mendelson. This building is pretty ugly to me. I really do not see where the designer was going with this. It looks as if the interior would be ocward. I think it looks like something from a cartoon!

time capsule project

2007-11-12T14:11:00.001-08:00

This is one of my first models. The idea came from a star. I thought the time capsule should be something that is nice to look at if it's going to be here for 20 years. I thought it could open like a nut and the contents would be inside the main sphere. But then I thought it would be better to have an artifact in each individual cone. After talking to my classmates in class I have changed my idea a little.

I got this from Home and Garden pages 1698-169. I choose this composition because I liked that it didnt have much order to it. Everything is kind of placed randomly with text to explain it.

a container for a memory

2007-10-01T18:27:00.001-07:00

My memory is from my junior year in high school when I lost one of my friends in a car wreck. This was my first iteration. Obviously it did not work out that well! The poem was one that reminded me of that memory and recreated that same feeling.

This was my second. I painted the box and added Abbey' picture.

The bright colorful inside of my second iteration was to represent Abbey's bright and bubbly personality.

I wanted to make my final container less literal so I made a box that represented Abbey's personality. When I look at the bright, wild box I think of how wonderful her personality was.

design a place for an egg, that celebrates a quality of the egg, using only paper

2007-09-12T08:19:00.000-07:00

This is a top view of my place for an egg. The "flower" is protecting the egg because it is so delicate. The petals also trace the form and shape of the egg.

I think this photograph shows a good contrast between the brown paper and white egg.

I liked this because the shadow makes me think of a hand, which has nothing to do with the egg but still interesting.

my favorite blog

2007-08-28T15:23:00.000-07:00

I actually liked certian parts of certian blogs. I liked the title in Tommy Kane's blog. It is very colorful and different, it really catches your attention. Another blog that I liked was Andrea Joseph's. It wasn't really the blog that interested me but the artwork. Especially the one titled get miles away. The drawing of the view out of a rear view mirror i just thout it looked cool. I also liked the picture of thecolored pencil shavings. Her artwork is of things that you don't normally think of as art work.
