Locating Unit

Now knowing exactly where I was heading I worked on creating all of my designs. I kept in mind the guidelines I had set myself for each section and carried on developing. I found creating my upholstery designs the easiest, the simple geometric repeats meant that the focus was simply on the shapes I chose to make, rather than the colours or the idea of creating an asymmetric repeat. These are some of the designs I came up with and below are visualisations, doing these helps me to visualise the intended outcome.

I found the commission designs a little more difficult, trying to design for a certain space or shape based purely on an image proved to be harder than anticipated. I knew I wanted these designs to be simpler, avoiding standard grid repeats. I tried to think about the space, for example on of the designs I did (right), I took into consideration that when stood outside the building you would see through the transparent window covering straight through to the image coving the wall, thus creating a double exposed image that changes with perspective. For some of these designs I worked directly into the space within the image, responding to the space, (image third from the left). I felt it was essential to have these designs photoshoped into images to show how I have intended the designs, it also helps to demonstrate scale.
