The last Rendering for the Semester- The living room from the same floor plan as my “cozy cottage” and a dinning room I designed and rendered in grey (you will get to see a small clip of that rendering in my final project) We were to choose our own furniture and color scheme. This is what I came up with. Samples and a color bar was included in this board.

Color + Texture

For Color Theory class  we had an assignment to play with color and texture then display them in an aesthetically pleasing way. We were to create 3 different boards each of which with a different color Scheme here is what I came up with:

This first board I think of a very Chic yet jungle look. A lot of the materials I used for this board I feel would be adorable in a nursery. I used 2 different pieces of wallpaper with unique texture patterns to them, tile samples, a glass sample, cork, wood, fabric, rubber and trim. My color scheme for this board is Analogous- colors next to each other on the color wheel I used 3 colors as my main Hues, Blue, Green and Yellow.

For my Next color scheme I did a split complement- a hue and the colors beside it’s complement. I chose to use Purples, Greens and Oranges for this color scheme. This is a very warm color Scheme. I used Wallpaper, fabric, and leathers to compliment these colors according to their textures.

My Last board I used Cool colors with Warm Value. This one was really fun my roommate and I went out in our apartment parking lot and started throwing a block of granite against the gravel in order to break the granite and add the granite to my board.  We also broke glass (carefully- don’t try it at home folks). This board I used the widest variety of materials in the display. I used Rubber, Granite, Glass, Metal, trim, fabric and leather.

Which Board or Color Scheme is your favorite and why? I am very curious as to impressions that are felt towards these boards and what you would call each board and why. Please share.

For my Presentation 2 class I was assigned to make a “How to” book for Perspective principles we use in Interior Design, I honestly wish someone would have handed me one of these my first semester! I used Adobe Indesign, Photoshop and Blurb.com to complete my book and I have just sent it off to the publishers. Click the link above to view my entire book.

Cozy Cottage

My most recent Project was to design a house based off of a picture and floor plan from a catalog. We were then to build the house in Google sketch up. The next step was to choose the finishes of the house and then plan the landscaping. I added myself to the drawing. To bring my drawing to life I added my very energetic little sister, Addie on her scooter and a swing on the tree.

My final Drawing was drawn in pen.

So there you have it, my tiny little cozy cottage.

Color Scheme

It’s been a while since I’ve made my last post. I am about 1/2 way through my 2nd semester in the Interior Design Program and have kept busy.

A recent assignment I had in my color theory class allowed us to experiment with various color schemes: Complementary, Split Complementary, Double Split complementary, Triad and Diad color schemes. We took those color schemes and played with the colors, I designed over 30 rooms. After we had found our color scheme we then took those colors and placed them in our 1 point perspective rooms with full saturation. Then, using those same colors we designed rooms with the same color scheme and designed one adding shade, tint, tone, analogous (adding grey) and the color’s complement to the color scheme.

The Challenge we had to face was being able to use the color schemes and making the space livable. Color was greatly manipulated in my case. We selected the ten rooms we felt were the most livable/ the walls were well decorated (colored). I then began to add simple shapes to create a slight idea of how the room would be decorated and properly incorporate the color scheme.

Let’s play a little game: See if you can guess the color schemes and which images are, fully saturated, Shaded, tinted, toned and which ones are complementary. If you are correct, I might consider a prize of some sort.

Briar Dusk Gothic Library

Briar Dusk, Dark, Dusk, Gothic Revial, Interior Design, interior design program, Library, sketch up

This is my very first drawing of a room such as this. We were assigned to select furniture, people and finishes that would belong in a Gothic Library and then draw them. This takes a lot more time than most would think to draw this. We were given floor plans and were aloud to select the appropriate view we desired for our libraries. Drawn in 2 point perspective using google sketch up, photoshop, illustrator and of course pencils.

We were to research the Gothic era to discover what would be fitting for this library.

My end product was entitled “Briar Dusk Library” because Briar is a word or rather name that was coined during the Gothic Era and Gothic pieces are typically Goddy and Dark. I thought the word “Dusk” would be a much prettier way to say “Dark”

I will be doing a lot of these in my future and will work hard to improve so one day I can be the best Interior Designer alive, for now I’ve got a lot of work to do.

A light in the Dark Fabric Design

A Light in the Dark Fabric Design:

I was assigned to either design an area rug or a fabric. I chose fabric. My sources of inspiration came from: The floating lanterns because I remembered lighting them off at my dear friend Kylie Mae’s Birthday party. (You may recognize these as the lanterns from the popular Disney movie Tangled). Another source of inspiration came from the rhythmic pattern of a simple city scape.

As lanterns ascend to the sky they appear to be smaller and smaller as they float away. I created a pattern where the motif that appears to be a lantern starts at a very large size and decreases in size as it works its way up the fabric. Eventually they get big again and the process starts over again.

The color palettes I chose were pinks,reds and yellow as well as blues,greens and yellow to make certain the pattern could appeal to either a girl or boy audience.

I feel that childish patterns and colors have an effect of creating a safe and comfy atmosphere. That is part of the reason I chose to call this fabric “A light in the Dark” because children typically have night lights or a source of comfort, and if a child feels safe in their bed they will sleep better.

Texture Sphere (Tactile Texture)

I chose to use nylon and tight material because, it seems to be an item that women have to buy and instantly become disposable due to runs and rips in them. I figured Nylons and tights would be easy to get ahold of considering how quickly girls go through nylons, I bought a few to add interest and texture to the sphere. I also took advantages of my resources and grabbed about 1/2 a box of Peds from Payless, the lady working there looked at me kinda funny but I smiled and ran out, they are free for the public.

I covered the sphere with black nylon until the sphere could not be seen. Then, with the assistance of my roommate I sewed on bunches of nylons and tights in rose shaped bunches. It became more difficult to sew as the sphere became more covered.

I am proud to say that my texture sphere was displayed!

TACTILE TEXTURE Assignment:

Texture involves the tactile sense, or sense of touch. As infants, we touch before we see, and through the years the role of texture in our lives remains a vital one. Often this tactile experience translates visually as well, with deep shadows within crevices creating a powerful visual texture.

With these thoughts in mind, create a composition on a Styrofoam ball no smaller than 4 inches in diameter. You may create your composition on a larger sphere, if you so choose. You may use any media of choice, and/or a combination of media. However, the finished product must be well designed, and be of secure construction.

OBJECTIVE:

To expand the studentʼs appreciation for the tactile sense in reference to texture.

To provide an opportunity for the student to design a composition that has artistic and creative merit.

To create a composition that not only provides a tactile texture experience, but also a visual texture experience.
