From my original object (plastic containers) which are predominantly used to store goods/foods I was able to create and design a shipping container café. I had a carefully thought contemporary interior. The classic black and white colour combination was matched with my white furniture (made from foam board) to create a stylish yet edgy space. Whereas, the bold wallpaper was chosen to give my café an authentic handmade look and feel. I took particular attention to the small details of my café, such as the hand made pillows for the seats, created for comfort. If this wasn't a model, my outside furniture(chairs) would have been made from poly rattan, as this fabric is manufactured specifically for outdoor use due to its weather-proof properties. The flooring would have been white laminated wood, as it creates a specious and light atmosphere. It is resistant to stains, impacts and scratches. Artificial grass would have also been added, in order to make my outdoor seating area to look beautiful and serene in all weathers.Not to mention it is eco-friendly and doesn't require much maintenance.
I decided to visit the national gallery museum located in Trafalgar Square, which i found fascinating. I was able to see work that interested me that I could possibly gain inspiration from whilst being able to understand more about the history and culture of our local community. To specific paintings that captured me were at this museum were : The Execution of Maximillian (Showing the emperor of Mexico,Maximilian being executed in 1867) - this linked to the given theme as it could suggest 'resistance' against the law and legal reinforcements. Kitchen maid with the supper at Emmales (Depicts a black maid carrying out her daily chores) - this linked to the given theme as it shows segregation and the idea of having different beliefs due to race and ethnicity. I then visited the national portrait gallery, to see the best contemporary art and to boost my own personal creativity. Having entered the BP portrait award 2017 I was fascinated by; 'Another fine day on Elysian Fie...
Pop art is an iconic movement that appeared in the mid 1950s, characterised by brash, bold, colourful and humorous artwork. It challenges the norms and traditions of fine art. But instead is made up of everyday objects in our surroundings such as washing powders, comic strips, recognizable celebrity’s and soda bottles. Which is then combined with unrelated materials and removed from its usual context. I decided to look at the work of the best known figure in the Pop Art movement, Andy Warhol. He was obsessed with consumer culture and celebrities.Which lead to him experimenting with mechanical reproductions based on mass-produced images from popular culture.His work inspired me due to his enduring imagery and his omnivorous curiosity. It was a style that I intended to incorporate within my own work.
Moodboard: Different bar designs and layouts, which could serve as inspiration. Colin Seah Bar Salon Sociedad Sanja Premrn The title for this project was 'Beyond The Fundamental' in which i was given the task to recreate room 901 902 into a student bar. In general the London student bar scene is something of an unattractive character with fears of watered down, over- priced drinks filled with hostility. Therefore, I aim to overcome this problem by helping young Ravensbourne students in this increasingly expensive city by creating a tranquil bar for them to unwind, socialize and gather whilst ordering high quality snacks and food at a low cost. There would be larger tables for students to communicate and do group work as well as areas where they can have privacy. I aim to create my final model on Google Sketch-Up (a 3D modelling software) which will aid my project and enable me to navigate within my space. I will also create floor plans ,with correct measure...
