Week 6/7

Week 6-7: Coronavirus Peak Isolation

This current week we have been in practically full isolation now. This means that Netflix, running with only one friend and uni, has taken over.

These weeks I have been focusing mainly on my studio class for Industrial Design and this communications course. I have made two 1:50 models out of cardboard. One of which is my room's floorplan currently and the other, being one with and additional source(s) of natural light by increasing the window size. In these images, I have added annotations of what I thought whilst taking pictures of the photo which I thought I should include showing the decisions I made throughout the design process of my workspace model.

This is the first model I made out of cardboard at a 1:50 scale. As seen in the image I used colours to differentiate between the cutting and folding so I would not cut the wrong line by accident.

 This is the first 1:50 model completely cut.

For the second model, I decided to paint the inside and outside of the second cardboard model. The inside is meant to accurately represent the colours in my room and the outside I will paint in black to show the sources in which light enters.

The paint is all acrylic paint which took a while to mix and find the right 'swatch' to use for my room. 

I also thought it was essential for this refined model to cut out a larger desk and bed as it is a change in which I would like to make to my room in the future. As well as the dream of having larger windows.

This is the first model. I found it to be the scale in which I would love to work with for any future models as it was relatively simple to create. I added my bed, cupboard and desk area are in the room. 

All aspects of this model are to scale.

This is the Second Final Model which I will stick with as the model I will photoshop and add the figure to show light.

The following three photos are a comparison between the models to show the changes in which I made to the second model. This allows more natural light to come into the room. I also changed the size of my desk as I would like a better desk.

I also moved my bed around so I can move around my room easily with a bigger desk. I also put in a projector and a painting into the room
