INITIAL VECTOR FRAMEWORK
INITIAL THOUGHTS : - CREATE SITE LINES THAT GENERATE A VISUAL CONTINUITY THROUGH GRAPHIC - ESTABLISH FRAMEWORK FOR LAYERING (MATERIAL / COLOR / NEON LIGHTING / ETC) - GENERATE VARIETY OF SCALAR + PATTERNING TECHNIQUES

AXONOMETRIC RENDERING
GEOMETRIES WRAP CORNERS TO DISSOLVE THEIR PROMINENCE THE CIRCLES ON THE THREE MAIN CORNERS VISUALLY ALIGN ON THE ELEVATION, GIVING THE PIECE A DEPTH, AND ACTIVE NATURE WHILE WALKING AROUND THE SPACE. COLORS ARE STILL BEING WORKED OUT, BUT THIS IS MY FAVORITE COLOR OPTION SO FAR!

MAIN ROOM GRAPHIC - NEON TEST
FIGURE
NEON
THOUGHTS ON NEON: - ONLY 1-3 LOCATIONS ON THE GRAPHIC - FOCUSED TOWARDS THE BAR-SIDE OF THE WALLS, RATHER THAN FACING THE DINING ROOM - OPPORTUNITY TO DIRECTLY INTERFACE WITH OUTSIDE, THE MAIN CORNER OT THE SPACE CAN BE SEEN FROM THE MAIN ENTRY, CREATING AN IDEAL SPOT FOR NEON.

Eric Randall Morris is a published, award-winning designer from Cumming, GA. Formally trained as an architect, he holds an M. Arch from MIT (’14) and a B.S. Arch from Georgia Tech (’11) and has been engaged in the art and architecture field for the past 12 years. His graphics began as doodles on the margins of sketchbooks - which transformed into a continually evolving exercise of pattern-making, geometric manipulation, and formal play. This constant visual experimentation has lead him from sketchbook, to large format illustrations, to murals. In creating the graphic for Local Motives, the space needed to capture the pulse of Atlanta. The figures and their arrangements represented in the mural are an abstraction of the rhythm + movement of people in the city. Shapes inform one another, figures collect and densify, systems of order + alignment emerge from seemingly choatic environments.
