Playing with Paper Folding

Busy busy busy

It's coming up to the end of semester and I'm busy finishing all of my projects. I always have trouble committing to an idea so I always end up changing my project multiple times before the due date. As usual I've waited until it is nearly due to really commit to a concept and apply myself to putting it down on paper. Just like every semester I will do eighty percent of the work in the final two weeks. The rush at the deadline is all part of the fun of being a design student I suppose.


The photos are of my dining room table at the moment; covered in water colour paints and floor plans as I render my presentation drawings. There are also some beautiful white lilies that my boyfriend gave me for our anniversary on the table. They continue to look fresh into the wee hours of the morning when I am looking less than my best.

Some School Work

Material intentions 

Preliminary planning 

Site sketches

This is a research book that I did for my studio class. I'm designing a music venue with a restaurant and a small store. This booklet was just some of my first thoughts about site, programme, location, materials and branding. The book is 5"x7" so it's nice and small. I was really happy with how it turned out.

Doodles

I'm working on an assignment for school and these are some doodles I did trying to work out where I was going with the project.

The Smell of New Notebooks

This week was appropriately cool making it really feel like fall and it made me even more in the mood for back to school. I started a new semester this week and have three new exciting design projects on the go. Hope fully I'll have some sketches to post soon.


I'm excited to break into my new clean notebooks and sketchbooks with my new pack of pens and my nicely sharpened pencils. In a strange way fall is like a new beginning even though it's really the end of the summer.


I hope you all enjoy your weekends and the last few warm days before fall truly arrives.
