alvar aalto.

As part of fundamentals, i've been studying my assigned designer 'alvar aalto' and his designs. At the beginning, i didn't understand his theory, or his designs, but after the last 4 weeks, i think i've now grown to love him. His designs, while simplistic, oozes sophistication and i can only hope to replicate a tad of that in my designs. Below was what i presented a couple of days ago.

My entire Designer Project.

3D relief.

3D model.

Poster, paintings, patterns.

Yep so this is the result of 4 weeks of hard work in one unit. Or one part of a unit i should say lol.

colour wheels again.

This time, our colour wheels were made of shredded up paper (or so i thought). There were some misunderstandings about whether we were supposed to cut or tear or colour bits. That, and some thought we were doing block colours, and others, gradients. Basically, there were too many miscommunications in our group and our colour wheel in its finished form looked crap lol.

But here's what we did anyway: in our studio class, we all brought in magazines and cut it all up. We were each allocated a specific colour (i received purple-red) and we basically had to make a strip of the colour wheel. That was pretty much all we got right as a group lol.

Our allocated segments.

List of our group.

Everyone hard at work (:

Assorted magazines.

Half done colour segment.

My finished segment (:

I really liked how my segment turned out in the end. I think the colour gradient was pretty smooth and the torn edges really gave it that 'finished' look!

colour wheel.

So we (me + christina + toi + tina) had to do a colour project this week - exploring colour wheels and that sort. Who knew colour wheels were so time consuming to paint! Mind warp on how long it took us - a good 8 or 9 hours i think? We ended up staying back in the fbe until well past 8pm to do it, oh dear. (Thank goodness for summer and no daylights saving!) But on the bright side, we're done now and it doesn't look too shabby! Good job guys (:

Testing our colours on a strip of paper.

Watching the colour change slightly as they dry - fun.

Starting our colour wheel.

Half way done.

No flash.

Nearly done!!!!

What can i say? I learnt to mix the most awesome purple ever. Lol.
