Graphics

All of my graphics will be wrapped around the wall of the model, all very silhouette like. 



Refined Model

Here is my refined model. Almost all brick, with dark silhouettes, sketches, and skylines. All representations of Charlie Parker and Bebop. This first picture is a view from the front door.

Project Two-Bebop

I have a rough idea for my project two, for what sound looks like. Our project is based around the musician Charlie Parker, who is famous for his creation of bebop music, in the 1930-40s. We are creating a museum-like experience to what bebop would look and feel like if it was a space. I want to start with the path take through my space in the general shape of a saxophone, Parkers instrument. Using a quote on the floor guiding the path, showing general graphic images created represent a jazz club from the 40s, and the great times Parker had and was most famous for, also in a vague timeline. But there would also be extra space off the path that I want to partly separate using organically-shaped walls, and on them show maybe the darker side of Parker's life, such as his drug abuse, many relationships, and etc, that may or may not have been caused by his fame and the rise of bebop. Color theme I envision is dark purples and blues, maybe with gold and red lighting or accents, very smoky and dark. I really want to give a jazz club experience.

Final Project One

These are my final designs for Project One. They all have a different look, with a different theme. Each one is represented by either energy, interdependence or order. 
















The white I chose to represent energy. There is a lot of color, with the use of my own handwriting all over it looks to have a lot going on. The typeface is rockwell and futura, both bold.
The red I chose to represent interdependence. With only a two-color color scheme, the typefaces, again with my use of handwriting and then Bold Futura, the depend on each other for balance. Then the cut-outs give it more dimension.
The last, and final choice, represented order.  All the information is very organized and clear. I based the design of "rice krispies" off of a square, and the entire design is based around the square idea. The color scheme has three colors, and is none of them is more over powering than the other.

Chance

For this assignment, we were required to make a grid, or use one given, and use a coin flip to decide size, and space for each required picture used on our own Rice Krispie box designs. Each flip gave a specific location on the grid to put the picture, and a size for the picture or text. One flip was also used to decide the rotation of the symbol, whether it was normal or rotated 90 degrees.
