Re-designs and Re-imagining 16th March
After many weeks of research, it is
now time to get my design together and work on my choice of materials and make
some samples. Before I could do this, I have to make some design decisions. With
my mood boards done, I could show Marriyah what I had found and get her opinion
on what shapes, pattern and colours she liked best.
This was a great time to re-evaluate
my progress and to make sure I was on the right track with the design. As I
showed Marriyah the mood board, I explained that they were the narrowed down group
of images and designs that I thought fitted with the last talk we had. After
talking it through, there was a couple of designs that stood out for her. The
diamond shape seemed to be very prominent and favourable, as well as the shades
of dark green. It was the colour that Marriyah most wanted.
I could take the directions that
Marriyah had given me to help develop the designs. I was one step closer to
completing my locket. I started by drawing out several different shapes for the
general outline. Taking the diamond patterns, I could remake and redesign to fit
what Marriyah wants.
The mood boards where a great help
to visually show my ideas and what patterns and colours I was thinking of
doing. It also gave Marriyah a chance to pick what she feels best represents
her personality. I can see why professionals use this to get their themes
across to the client.
I then spent the rest of the
afternoon talking about different materials that I could use and which I might
have to buy myself. This is a great lesson for planning as well as getting used
to this for university.
One idea that I had been thinking about,
was putting some literature into the locket for Marriyah. She has a great love
for books and I think that is a beautiful part of her personality. I think I should
have some small references in the locket. The thought of having small parts of
her favourite book in the glass would be a nice idea. It's something I have to
talk through with Marriyah first.
