At the start of week one I was glad to have finished the first half of this project; the nature boards. Nature wasn’t something I found easy to work with and I was excited to move onto a new project. When I was given the brief for this four week project I felt deflated, I couldn’t believe I was going to have to continue with nature.
Due to not liking the idea of nature it took me a while to find the motivation to get started. For the product design A2 board I didn’t really look into actual designers, I just found objects that I found interesting. I thought it would be best to include designer research in this portion of the project. I started by trying to find the designers of the objects I found interesting.
From the found objects I found:
Sebastian Errazuriz –
Duncan Meerding –
Frank Lefebvre –
I felt that these designers all created similar styled products. I decided to look into designers that were still influenced by nature but made different style products.
Colin O’Dowd –
Jean Paul Gaultier –
Isla Middleton –
Towards the end of the week I had researched all the designers but the information was all typed up on a word document so I still had to write it all out.
The thought of an exhibition made me want my sketchbook to be very organised and look nice for people to look through. Usually my sketchbooks aren’t very colourful, I normally draw and write with pencil. However this one I wanted to be full of colour to draw a person’s attention to it.
