Visual Studies Project 05. Pattern designs

ASSESSMENT TYPE: 
PROJECT 5 PATTERN DESIGNS 
"In this project you will use your commute to and from the Design School of Southern Africa as a departure point to design a variety of patterns. You are encouraged to become aware of the rich variety of interesting and inspiring things you pass and often do not pay attention to every day. The brief has several steps to complete and neglecting any of these steps will affect the value of your final product. You will document this daily journey which will then serve as departure point for the creative process for developing motifs to use for your pattern design. These motifs will then be used in various arrangements to create a pattern for a textile, wallpaper or stationary."

The name of this functional robot is EMO, as the shortening of the world emotional. This robot has the use of being a friend, a comfit also it help the individual who suffer and wanting to escape the reality. EMO listen as well as talk to the owner as the aim is to help people release, express their emotional burden. The out look of this functional robot is a pot and the round ball, EMO, it is surround by two feathers and a natural green ground floor. As the quote says “ I’m a simple person who hides thousand feelings behind the happy smile.” I believe EMO will help people the heal their feeling and help them feel better.

Idea and impression

The first time I ever know about the Design School South Africa and VEGA was in my high school grade 11 year, and just by looking at the school website I felt that it was a very professional plat form for artist and designer. So obviously I was completely drawn to the fact I want to join the school, so hand in application than come to the school to visit was very exciting for me. My first impression to the campus was that is was clean, nicely present and comfortable, the sky was a very nice baby blue with not much cloud, the red bricks as the floor and the building was beautiful and neat. The whole campus was covered in green and red, the tree and the building almost became the symbolic factor for me towards the DSSA and VEGA. Also because of the colour it was very calming and pleased to the eye.

Continued from my impression to my idea for this water colour paint project, I want to make the factor that had became my DSSA and VEGA impression stand out, and that was: The Building 2, the red bricks, the sky and the trees. Although making them all into a collage might be difficult but I want to present how the campus was in my mind.

This drawing is a realistic water colour pencil drawing on A3 white paper of a chocolate doughnut with sprinkle on top, a chocolate muffin, a chocolate in the red packaging, two wooden stirring sticks and a chocolate smoothy. The whole lunch box has one things in common, Chocolate. For me chocolate is the king out of all other sweet tasting food, and all product made with chocolate taste even better! Therefor this lunch box is a dream lunch and extremely satisfying for the sweet tooth viewer as well as chocolate lover because of all item being different but the same in the core, also the realistic look evoke the feeling of the need and appetite. All the object has been direct and purposely put in the middle left of the page as it was the main focus of the whole drawing and to achieve the focus I have use the technique of linear perspective, as the result the eye focus direct onto the organic shape of round doughnut and slowly move on red packaging and because of the two wooden stirring stick the eye finally move on to the plastic cup. The water colour pencil give a very unique texture in each different item, some being smooth and some being rough and has definitively remind the viewer’s feeling of the taste of the texture. The colour of different brown in each object showing the uniqueness of each the product although all of them has the same ingredient. The background has the shadow of the object with very little detail of serviette and combination of light yellow and peach  oval line shading around the lunch box this create a warm and pleasing effect to the eye as well as the feeling of deep warmth and happiness given from chocolate to the person eating (viewing) the Lunch Box.
