DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT

 DEVELOPMENT of the project 

So these were or are my primary sketches hand sketches which i created without using any software and that was my main idea because i did not want to rely completely on software. I had never used any software’s before this project in my life so i slowly gradually understood and learned the software and then implied it on my drawings by adding colours to it.

This whole project has a particular theme which is boxy. All the parts of the house which is a small space has boxy structure and effect. I have tried make it flow over the whole process.

5 moments in wonderland : 

This is my final piece of the project 5 moments in wonderland where i have created a very small ,simple and elegant residence space which has one bedroom, kitchen and a living area with that i have also tried to show the floor plan of the house. This is a very boxy kind of theme which i have implemented on it with learning the uses of software.

FINAL EVALUATION

                                                              Final evaluation 

• So talking about my main idea for the topic was to create a simple space with 5 different spaces like bedroom, kitchen and etc because i have always felt simplicity as wonderland for me.                          So my format for working on this topic was i first brainstormed of what all i wanted and then i started working on the primary sketches and the perspectives. I wanted my work to show my drawing skills with the usage of software at the same time so it would justify importance of this module in my course.

• I must say that my work and blogs coming together on time was on of the best thing which came in well together. Secondly what i think went well with my work was the sketches it turned out of how i wanted and the designs were simple and sober which was the best thing to add colours onto it and also the way i added colours by using software also went in my favor as i was able to do it by myself and i am happy about it.

• At the same time we cannot expect all the things to go as planned and proper i wish i had more of time to develop my ideas in a better and try adding 3D concept to it would have been a great thing and also one problem I personally faced was that i use my iPad and not a laptop so some of the things were difficult to access but at last i tried to manage it all and got my work together 

• Overall summarising this project and also this module , honestly it was great as i got to learn many software which i had never used before and i got to learn them all so i can further use all of that in future which would help me in my career and talking about this project it was great as for the first time I got to design a space all by myself be it was small areas but then too i got to say something as my and my ideas. And i have thoroughly enjoyed 12 weeks and have never missed a class because i did not want to miss on any new thing which was taught as all of that was so interesting learning from micheal.

MY IDEAS FOR PROJECT

 Primary ideas for moments in wonderland

1. 

The goal of the first ideas was to help clients express their desired atmosphere and aesthetic in a space through five distinct thematic categories. These themes would serve as starting points or frameworks for interior designers and architects to work from, ensuring a more tailored and intuitive design process. Since mood boards are becoming an essential tool in interior design, this project would build upon that idea by offering a structured yet flexible way to explore and develop design ideas.So it would have been 5 types of themes which a person would like to enhance in a particular space.

2.

Secondly i wanted to create a open stadium where people can sit and enjoy even privately if they want by creating different cabinets of glass doors and make dividers between them and would show all the 5 different possibilities and sides/angles of that particular stadium and give some technology based touch with putting seats in different ways 

3.

On of the other ideas was to connect my thinking of wonderland and create a single house with 5 different corners of the house in which i can sketch the places and 5 of them which would have been a bedroom, a living area , a kitchen corner , a washroom and the last would be a small idea of how it would look from exterior. 

NATURE IN MODERN LIFE

NATURE IN MODERN LIFE FOR ME 

Nature in modern life for an interior designer can be incredibly significant. It often serves as a source of inspiration for design choices, materials, and colour palettes. Incorporating natural elements into interior spaces can create a calming and harmonious environment. This can include using sustainable materials, maximising natural light, and bringing in greenery through plants. Additionally, understanding the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces can enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of a design.

One of the most significant trends is bio-phillic design, which seeks to reconnect people with nature. This approach goes beyond simply adding plants to a space; it involves creating an environment that mimics the natural world. For example, using organic shapes, natural materials, and textures can evoke the feeling of being outdoors. Designers can incorporate elements like stone walls, wooden beams, and water features to enhance this connection. The goal is to create spaces that promote well-being and reduce stress, making them more enjoyable for occupants.

Natural light is another critical aspect of modern design. Large windows, skylights, and open layouts can flood interiors with sunlight, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This not only improves the aesthetic quality of a space but also has psychological benefits. Studies have shown that natural light can boost mood, increase productivity, and improve overall health. Also Indoor plants have become a staple in modern interiors, serving both aesthetic and health purposes. They improve air quality, add a pop of colour, and create a sense of vitality in a space. 

Finally, designing outdoor spaces that flow seamlessly from indoors is essential. This can be achieved through the use of sliding glass doors, outdoor seating areas, or gardens that extend living spaces. By creating these transitions, you encourage a lifestyle that embraces both indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment, allowing clients to fully appreciate the beauty of nature.

In conclusion, integrating nature into modern interior design not only enhances the visual appeal of spaces but also promotes well-being and sustainability. By embracing bio-philic design, maximising natural light, using sustainable materials, selecting nature-inspired colours, incorporating plants, and creating harmonious indoor-outdoor connections, you can create interiors that resonate with the beauty of the natural world. 

ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR - LOGO

 

Adobe Illustrator

Creating or editing a logo on Adobe Illustrator can be an exciting and rewarding experience. When I first opened Illustrator, I was on a blank canvas. As i was doing this for first time I began by taking a real logo that is Apple logo, and then I started that creating the same shape by using the Pen tool to create clean, precise lines. This tool allowed me to experiment with different shapes and forms, which is crucial for logo design. 

As I refined my design, I played with colours and gradients, utilising the Colour Picker to find the perfect palette that resonated with the brand's identity but at the same time apple logo being a plain black i wanted it to have bright colours to it. The Layers panel was incredibly helpful for organising my elements and making adjustments without losing previous work(this i was finding a bit difficult). I also tried to experiment with the thickness and depth of the logo.

Finally, I focused on the details, adjusting the alignment and spacing to achieve a balanced look. Once I was satisfied, I exported the logo in multiple formats for different uses. The whole process taught me the importance of creativity and technical skills in graphic design, and I felt a sense of creativity even when i just created a same logo but i was happy making a start to this new thing.

ABOUT MY FINAL ONGOING WORK

 About my Final Piece: 

• So firstly what it will be is that being an interior architecture and design student i will be creating and trying to design 5 different areas or 5 different interior spaces. Some of them will be 2D point percepective drawings and i will add colours and polishing through different softwares.
• It will be an interior design type of piece - it will have 5 different spaces design and sketched by me where i can do 5 moments in wonderland. 
• I will be 100% trying to include my software usage in my designs and my final piece. I will be trying to add good outlines and colour editing in ibisPaint and also procreate, which will help me having my final piece ready. 
• This project overall will help me create on of the first interior designs i can create, how i want it to look like with help of everything i can use. It will teach me how to put everything together and also make me experience about what goes and what not goes inside a particular area. I will get to know put particular dimensions, colours, textures and furniture usage better.
• For the further next 2 week till i have my submission I will be working more on my sketches and how to make them better and better, also all of my pieces aren’t yet ready so i will be working on that.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

WONDERLAND FOR ME

 WHATS WONDERLAND FOR ME 

Wonderland for me is a realm of endless possibilities and vibrant imagination, especially when it comes to interior design. Being an interior designer student it is very important to imagine things which are not usual and out of the world. It's a space where creativity knows no bounds, and every element is thoughtfully curated to evoke a sense of wonder. Imagine entering a room that feels like a dream; the walls are adorned with playful colors and patterns that spark joy, while furniture pieces are not just functional but also artistic statements that tell a story. Textures play a crucial role, with soft fabrics inviting touch and contrasting materials creating visual interest. Lighting transforms the atmosphere, casting enchanting shadows and highlights that change the mood throughout the day. In this wonderland, each corner invites exploration, featuring unique decor items that reflect personal experiences and aspirations. It's a sanctuary where the ordinary is transformed into the extraordinary, encouraging one to embrace creativity and find beauty in the unexpected. This interior wonderland serves as a reminder that our living spaces can be a canvas for self-expression, inspiring us to dream bigger and live more vibrantly. Wonderland in general is something which should have now boundaries which i feel. Now talking about it about myself it is something in a connection of luxury and comfort at the same time.

 

MOOD-BOARD

 MOOD-BOARD 

So I get to design my moodboard today and it was such a fun and interesting activity. We did this activity through adobe photoshop. When we were introduced to this assignment I was very excited to collect pictures what matched my theme of designs which I would like to create, I found this activity one of the easiest one amongst the others we did in the class. My primary concept of mood-board was to create a concept which had simplicity with luxury, and the best example of it is the combination of wood and gold and white. Aesthetics is something everyone admires and this sums up aesthetics to its best. So the process went into this was that after the collection of the photos, I decided on to one template with contrast of the pictures and tried to arrange them in different shapes and different locations as if it turns into a aesthetically pleasing mood board. Overall it was a very fun activity to do and mood-board will help me in future to serve my clients of what the desire to have with the help of their perspectives and mood-board.

Heydar Aliyev Culture Centre

Heydar Aliyev Culture Centre

Zaha Hadid 

This is heyday aliyev centre which is 57,500m^2 building complex in Baku, Azerbaijan, designed by zaha hadid and noted for its distinctive architecture and flowing, curved style that eschews sharp angles. 

It is a new national cultural centre, housing a museum, auditorium/Opera House and related cultural facilities so as to analyse this further there are some questions which will give a more deeper explanation to why this architecture inspires me- 

1.     What kind of sudden IMPACT does their work have when you first see/experience it?

Ans- the sudden impact this building gave me when I first saw, was its shape and also its flowing roof top which is not so normal or easy to work with. It is something unique which people can experience it now 

2.     What do you like about the DESIGN of their work?

Ans- This cultural centre is designed in a very unique way with a very interesting shape to its structure but the most interesting thing about this design particularly is its usage of space, that how it manages to have a very positive way of usage of space even when the structure is not that linear or easy to use as a space. 

3.     What kind of ELEMENTS (colours, materials, tools, words…) are used?

Ans- Elements like fibre reinforced polymer and glass fibre reinforced concrete. The main structure of the Centre is a mix of reinforced concrete, steel frame structures, and composite beams and decks.

4.  How would you describe the COMPOSITION (positioning, structure, pacing, ordering…) of their work?

Ans- Zaha Hadid’s work is renowned for its innovative and dynamic composition. Her designs often feature fluid forms and organic shapes.the positioning of her structures tends to create a sense of movement, as if the buildings are in a constant state of transformation. 

5.     How would you describe the MOOD (atmosphere / tone) of their work?

Ans- her work tends to convey a feeling of openness and connectivity, as spaces flow seamlessly into one another. That creates an inviting atmosphere that encourages exploration and interaction. 

6.     Does the work include SPACE in the design?

Ans- the main thing which makes her design the best is the space and the space usage even having different forms and different flowy structure.

7.     Who do you think the AUDIENCE for the work is - and what's the purpose of it?

Ans- the audience for the work can be anyone and everyone as this work is so much exclusive and interesting which everyone can enjoy it and be a part of the space.

8.     Are there any CONSISTENT (repeated/continued) qualities to the work?

Ans- Yes, also if her designs are very unique and interesting which everyone, but we might agree that she has a lot of repetition in context to her designs. Most of her projects now are fluidity or brutality.

9.    Do you think the work COMMUNICATES any messages or ideas?

Ans- Her work communicates several messages and ideas. Most prominent idea is the celebration of fluidity and movement in architecture, which reflects the complexities of modern life. Designs often challenge conventional forms and encourage viewers to rethink their perceptions of space and structure by pushing the boundaries of architectural norms. 

10.  What do you think are the LASTING qualities (what will stay in your memory?)?

Ans-Her structures and the usage of space would be the lasting qualities for me of her work.

DOWN THE RABBIT-HOLE

  Down the Rabbot-Hole

I have always been fancied by coding overall but have always thought it as a difficult thing to do. So when i first started it i was both excited and a litttle intimidated too. I had heard so much about how could it could open up new possibilities, especially in web design, but technical aspects seemed daunting. To make the process easy and do able we had choose adobe Dreamweaver. We were already given a complete code and a process explaining the different types of tools and rules. As we started figuring out the tools it was reassuring because i could see how my code translated not visual layout in real-time. It felt like i was learning a new language but with the help of a friendly translator. At first, I spent a lot of time just familiarizing myself with the different tools and features. I explored the code editor, which allowed me to write HTML and CSS, while the design view helped me visualize what I was creating. It was a bit overwhelming, but I was determined to get the hang of it. Throughout this journey, I discovered that patience was key. There were moments of frustration when things didn’t work as expected, but each challenge taught me something new. I began to appreciate the logic behind coding and how it could be used to express creativity through design. Overall, my first experience with coding using Adobe Dreamweaver was a blend of challenges and triumphs.
