A World of Photography

Gothic Library

Here is my first complete room, matted and displayed for the end of my first semester of my Drawing and Presentation class. This living room's setting is in the Gothic Era, with Gothic styled furniture and contains aspects that would be present in the Gothic cathedrals, like the drapery and stylized clerestory look above the bookshelves. My references used were mostly from the inside of said cathedrals during the Gothic age, and my goal was to create the feel of a Gothic atmosphere in the room as well.

Being Constructive...

A construction drawing is what us Interior Designers learn to make sure we know how to see something in 360 degrees. So if I see a picture of a chair or sofa I would like to place in a room but it isn't in the right perspective, or I can't see the whole of a piece of furniture, I can transfer that image to the perspective I wish it to be by using the skills I've learned while doing construction drawings. This is my favorite construction drawing I have done so far! I'm not a violent person, but I REALLY loved drawing this gun.

Line Design

This project was a bit of a challenge, I was instructed to not use outlines to draw this rose laying on piano keys, but instead to use line weight and direction to recreate the image. I placed this photo in Photoshop and laid a red layer over the photo to bring out the feeling of the rose.

Got Curves?

Using line and shape on a designated format I chose to create a design by hand, breaking up the space and making it visually appealing. Here, I especially made sure that I had a focal point to draw the eye in.

Proportionally Pleasing

This is my first design created totally on Adobe Illustrator. The project was to make an interesting design using line and shape and then repeat it to display scale and proportion. Making the design pleasing to the eyes. This can be applied to designing a room, to make the aesthetic and functional requirements for a room.
There was another version of this pattern where I repeated the design hundreds of times, making a tie pattern look. This textured look could be applied to designing fabrics in the future if the Interior Designer (me) sees fit.

Here I begin my designs, this isn't my first board layout, but it is my best for my first year in the BYUI ID program. This dining room design was to be designed by and for an artist, the artist I chose was Mark Rothko, mostly because of his elaborate use of color. I tried to balance color and shape to create a rhythm in the room, and to stimulate conversation around the dinner table. The art pieces are by Rothko himself, we have a mix between modern and a sort of arts and crafts feel mixed to complete this room. The paint brushes are a trinket used to make the board layout a bit exciting and to sell the design to the artist client.
