OBDF 210A _02: Surface Design Study


Assignment: Surface Design Study 

Assigned: Tuesday, September 24

Due: Monday,October 07

 


01 INSPIRATION

I looked to architecture for pattern inspiration, in the city but also from photos from my travels.

 













01Sketches

Using the photos as a point of departure I made some preliminary sketches. 
 


 

03 Speed Dating

Date 1: Offered supportive comments
Date 2: Challenged me to use hexagonal to assist with scaling the pattern 
Date 3: Offered stylistic feedback regarding positive and negative space. Introduced the concept of grid overlaying 
Date 4:  Offered supportive comments

03 Development

Spent time in Rhino playing around with layers and grid structures to assist with pattern expansion. Returned to sketching to create some illustrations that offered a person touch to the design. Did not progress much 

04 Pattern 
The final pattern was not as robust as I had imagined but did give me an opportunity to play with the tools that I have been learning. I also tried a cross stitching design strategy but it turns out cross sticking patterns aren't so easy to make. I included them and my process here for interest.
