The most important thing I had to consider when planning my room design , is how that space was going to be used. Since I was redesigning a room in a University with 2,190 students, I figured I wanted to design a welcoming room for people to relax, socialize and unwind from everyday stress.
It was important for me to carefully consider furniture, colour scheme, practicality ,mood and atmosphere. All which would contribute to making a restful space.

Colour: I decide that Green was going to be incorporated within my design,as its the colour of life ,nature and harmony . It is often associated with plants. Having a glorious view of nature from floor 3 was impossible. Overall, it has a calming effect by evoking the peace of nature.I also decide to use the colour White as it is often associated with perfection and creates a clean look.


Furniture:  My furniture was going to be neatly arranged, to create a clean look. Lamps are going to a essential to illuminate the room . Especially lamps which can be turned up on down to fit the mood. Soft rugs will be found near the entrance to create a soothing vibe. Bean bags will be designed for ultimate comfort providing a casual, friendly air to the room. Lastly, a fire place for a touch of luxury

Watching this movie made me question the efficacy of torture as a means for combating terrorism but also made me realise that 'resistance' is a movement that has occurred for years in different countries by a variety of means.

Guillaume Apollinaire He used poetry as a way of escapism during the war. His poems were effective due to his typeface and spacial arrangement which worked to create an image. In this sense the visuals could be considered to be just as important as the text. His style was something I intended to incorporate in my own work; a typeface to add meaning to a composition.
