In this design, i have assembled various components to create a shower bottle I had to think about what colours to use that will successfully draw in the viewer.
Further into the design process i had to consider how the components fit together This stage would also show details of the design

After i completed the design i needed to create a bathroom in a style that would compliment the shampoo bottle. i chose this bleak colour scheme to make the green stand out in the bottle’s design

I then started to develop the colour scheme of earthy colours for the main part of the sematary however, i wanted the background to contrast with a nightmare red sky to draw attention to the viewer

I wanted to design the set to look eerie and the sematary to look overgrown in the final solution.
Throughout the making of the design i made samples of materials i used to determine the materials in the final solution

I have learned from the stage design to trust the process. no matter what stage it is it as long as i keep a vision in my head of how i want the set design to look i could make it look like that.

Formy design i useda cube shape to represent a room. i wantedto focuson the interiorof the cube andsee what effectsi couldmake by doing this. In the interiori decidedto create a spiral of beamswith gapson the left side of the cube. in between each beam to make an interesting lighting effect

I then turned the moodboard to life with a rough card model to highlight key feature of the model such as the spider legs around the model
i wanted the windows on the model to pop out to create a dramatic effect.
I learned from this model how to work within a strict amount of space. i wanted to do this as a challenge because this will be useful in this course.
i wanted to create an ogival arc shape in the doors and windows to create a gothic look
I decided to add moss to the model to give it an older look. I took a sample of this material as i think it is important
I loved the contrast the Cathedrals had with the rest of the city from Gothic Architecture to Modern

A feature in a room that i love is conversation pits. this is because it brings people together and the sunken level of the room is eye catching

I enjoyed drawing from this rose as each fold holds unique beauty from its vibrant colour
I enjoy layering colours. This is because it can serve different purposes, such as a certain colour or effect of texture on the paper.
I have studied various rosemary beads as i love the way the metal of the cross shines against the beads/metal.
the process of drawing shadows onto still life is my favourite part about drawing. This is because it makes the drawing seem as if its popping out of the paper.
