The Studio Pottery Gallery

This was my major final project of second year. 
To redesign a pottery studio in the local shopping centre. It had to be a space for people of all ages, be comfortable and include a tearoom area. 

I also had to design a bespoke item which was the large shelving unit with the vases along the glass wall. 
I really enjoyed the project, learning how to use sketch up has opened my eyes to the digital way of design and I plan to add a lot more free lance work to my blog/portfolio over summer. 

First there are some photos of the space before I redesigned it then my concept board followed by a floor plan with perspectives and sections. 

And the new design..

Sustainable Youth hostel

2nd Year Project.

To redesign a communal area of a youth hostel at a sustainability centre.
As well as making it visually pleasing I also had to think about how the space would be used and how it would teach people about sustainability.

My theme was recycled furniture, all the materials in the project are sustainable or recycled. The furniture all comes from responsible companies trying to make a difference or are created from old objects. I love recycled furniture, its interesting and creative and sends a positive message about waste.

Here are my 6 design boards. 

 If anyone sees this and knows some good recycled furniture blogs please let me know as i'm doing the subject for my dissertation. 

Thanks :]

Recycled Couch

An old trunk, some recycled fabric design and some PhotoShop Magic.

Magazine

This is one of my most recent university projects, we were asked to transform a space and give it a new function.

I chose this water tower, it was once featured on Grand Designs on Channel 4. I made it into a stylish bar lounge meant for private use.

Writing the article was new to me, writing as if someone were writing about me. 

I enjoyed designing the magazine. This also gave me the opportunity to learn how to use InDesign.

Design work from my National Diploma in Art and Design.

These are some Photoshop collages I did as part of my final major project in college I really like them so I thought I'd put them up. 

(unfortunately I don't have an A3 scanner so I had to take photos of them)
