3DCP: Individualisation/ The Client

Client: Kaziah Ashman- Griffiths
Designer's chosen field: Architecture
Architectural structure: Wooden Cabin, which could be used continuously throughout the year and can be easily transformed for whatever purpose in a log cabin.
Location: Alaska, located in Northwest Canada. It is the perfect location for a wooden cabin due to its diverse open spaces, mountains and forests. It is also the destination for outdoor activist such as mountain biking, skiing and kayaking.

For this project I was allocated a client to work with and negotiate creative proposals with, suitable to my clients needs within my chosen discipline. This also meant that I had to adapt my designs and methodology to unique requirements of my customer. Overall, I was committed to fulfilling and even exceeding the design brief by pushing creative boundaries. I had to hold a meeting to discuss with my client what they were looking for- similar to real life projects. From this discussion I was able to create a mood board with a collection of images that explores my customers 5 key words (man-made, soft, inside,winter,wood). It was a way in which I could openly place all my ideas and experiments onto one page. It also enabled me to show the client a proposed look without investing too much in a failed direction. Overall, it helped me establish all of the baselines that eventually lead into a style guide; colour pallets,shapes, forms, structures and layout.

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.

GRAPHICS :Reflective research/ Artist research/ Insperation

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.
