STUDIO LOFT

I loved this project. It was the 2nd assignment that we were given in Visual Communications II [Spr 2010]. The assignment was to design the interior of a studio loft [floor plan was provided] in SketchUp and render it in Podium. Learning to really use SketchUp and Podium was exciting and useful! I really was pleased with the way my design and renderings came out.

For our final renderings[last 2] we had to photoshop in an outside view and scale figures.

Serene Weathered

This is my final composition of 3 photos to convey the two words serene and weathered.

This is my case piece for my residential kitchen.

FoodsLab Project

DESCRIPTION: For this project, you will be developing an instructional foods laboratory for the Department of Nutrition's in the Stone Building.

My concept for this project was a Honeybee Hive. I took inspiration from the organization of a Bee Hive (both structural and functional), the dominant colors, and the overall purpose of a HoneyBee Hive which is producing honey.

Renderings Revised

The first perspective was done on Tuesday in class, and with it I basically followed Shawn's examples. I used the burn and dodge tools, changed the pillow and shirt colors, and clone stamped. For this 2nd perspective I wanted to completely change the feel of the room. I used the burn and dodge tools to highlight the areas in which light hit and to darken the areas which were shadowed. I changed the couch color from gray to black, the walls from burgundy to black, lightened the floors and staircase, darkened the tables and rug and also the fire place. For the last perspective I chose to keep the wall color the same while brightening up the space with blue sofas. I also changed the wood on the stairs and floor and I used burn and dodge once again.

Final Rendering-SketchUp space

This assignment was fun and interesting. I actually chose to pick another Maud Gatewood painting for my color scheme and it worked better.
