Summer Project: Creativity 101

Ok then, this is my first post of many to come over the next 3 years, since this is my first time creating a blog I hope everything goes as planned. For this project I decided to work on A4 sheets of paper instead of a sketch book so that I could churn out all the ideas I had. After looking at the source objects i decided to start by playing around with some silhouettes.

As  you can see these are just very basic shapes which I bent and morphed in an attempt to discover some interesting shapes. After this I decided to concentrate on creating a Life Form from the various objects we had been given.

(you'll have to excuse the nubering since they are not in order)

With the design above I decided to move away as it was reaching a final stage and I wanted to continue developing strange and unusual creatures. I then mooved on to a different object and tried to come up with a few more ideas.

At this point I felt like I should take a step back from the Life From ideas and focus on something else to give my mind a rest. I mooved on to designing the Machine and started by slowly edditing the aspects of one of the given objects.

I realised that my Machine was begining to look suspiciously simular to an AT-AT from Star Wars and so I decided to select the earlier drawings (#17) to develop further into my final Machine design.

This meant that the only thing left to do was to develop my Structure which I was very excited about as I havent realy had the opertunity to design structures in my past work.

Here I toyed with the idea of having a floating building using the supporting frame from one of the objects. I thought that this could tie in nicely with my Machine design but after some thought I decided to go in a different direction and tried to develop a more distressed look.

With this design I thought it would be a good contrast to the Machine I had designed as i could tie it in with a short narrative. With technology surpassing the modern world and constantly changing, older buildings are left to ruin and so I decided to design a temple sort of building which had been left to the wilderness.
