Cover Design


My last design 2 project. Split triad color scheme.

It's a Turritopsis rubia, a kind of jellyfish. I don't know the common name, oops.

Pyrope House: 3D Model


The final design! 

Fun fact: A pyrope is a kind of red precious stone. 

Pyrope House: Floor Plans



Floor plans! I did most of the planning for these in my head. Those rectangles lining the living room on the first floor are an army of wonderful bookcases. I imagine this room filled with huge, soft, sink-in-able armchairs. 

Another fun fact: the doors to the outside of the house don't swing, they swivel. Consequently, they can be opened to let in a breeze without getting in the way. 


Pyrope House: Preliminary Sketches






 The mad sketches of a girl who has no idea how to design a house.

 I was tasked with creating a prefabricated home design for Design 2, which is something I had no experience with. The assignment limited the building to approx. 20'x40' with an eco-friendly bent. With only those details guiding me, I defaulted to my usual brainstorming method of filling as much space as possible with sketches. Not pictured: the myriad of similar doodles drawn in the margins of my class notes.

Abstraction From Observation


This time, the color scheme had to be adjacent colors.

Abstraction From Observation Sketches



I think I like the top sketch more than I like the final design. Oops. 

Asian Influence Design

Tada! First project of Design 2. The palette was limited to 3 values of 1 hue. Contrary to what it looks like on the image, the darker dragon is dark red.

There was no way I wasn't going to do dragons for an Asian influence assignment.

Hue Chart


I did my value chart in blue and then my first project in red.

I am a master planner.

First assignment from Design 2.

Exciting.

Looks like I have design blog, now. Originally set up for my Design 2 class at WSU, I might be uploading personal stuff as well for the fun of it.

 Enjoy.
