Final Blog Submission ~ 'Contrast'

Image
'CONT RAST ' Written Statement This project, titled ‘Contrast’, explores the manners in which light behaves in response to forms, textures and materials and how this may shift throughout a daily cycle via both artificial and natural light sources. In doing this, I wanted to highlight a ‘contrast’ between bright and dark and therefore communicate the relationship between lighting and shadows, whilst also maintaining focus on an ideal working space design, where a sense of creativity is not only encouraged, but maximised. I was able to accomplish my concept through experimentation of forms and openings, use of black and white photography to accentuate differentiation, as well as creating elevated and open spaces for the purpose of freedom and nonchalance in inventiveness.

Model making and Further Lighting Experimentation

Image
I found this model making task very useful in being able to communicate my idea about contrast of light and dark by using materials like balsa and baking paper as well as photographing my work in black and white to further enhance the contrast (This model is in 1:50 scale). This was also a good model to experiment with on Photoshop because, similar to the last model, I was able to see the model as a real life structure. I wanted to utilise quite natural materials for my rendering as this is what I feel i am most connected to.

Model making & Photoshopping

Image
I really enjoyed doing this task as it allowed me further explore my concept of lighting and contrast but it moreover gave me the opportunity to visualize my project/work space in a real life setting thus highlighting a feel of atmosphere within and around the space. I chose to do this model in a 1:50 due to a lack of materials, however I also wanted to explore and test new scales to see what I prefer working with.

Experimentation of Form and Light ~ Model making

Image
  For this model, I wanted to venture away from the real world and create a dream-like sort of experience, still in relation to the basis of the whole assessment, my working space. By exploring different shapes and forms, it becomes symbolic of the creativity and making present within this at-home space, therefore this model creates a virtual walk through of this concept.

Introduction of Openings ~ Model Making

Image
By amalgamating previously acquired skills in folding techniques, with experimentative avenues of light and form, I was able to create quite an interesting shadow effect, this is seen with the very linear horizontal planes, that make up the ceiling, producing a shadow that seems to dance on the vertical plane. This is an effect that would be further emphasised in the real world with the shifting of the sun, thus altering the interiors perspective.

Initials Task ~ 3D Model

Image
  I found this three-dimensional modelling really enjoyable and helpful in extension to previous skills learnt from the 2.5d modelling task. It was good to have some of my own freedom in designing the letters for my initials and furthermore synthesizing that into a digital, 3d form.    Here, you can easily see the transitions between each letters from the 'E' to the 'J' to the 'W'

The Space Between ~ 2.5d Model

Image
This task was extremely helpful in learning the basics of using Fusion 360. While it did offer some challenges along the way, I was able to see what I had done wrong and fix those mistakes to create a simple 2.5d model ready for the Laser Cutter.   Below are the layout stages of the task and the conversion into an Adobe Illustrator.
