dialog: final drawings

dialog: continuing the process...

this is my sketchbook page that i used throughout the process. after my first iteration, i started thinking literally about the kinds of conversations people have. the one that stuck out to me was one person coming in and dominating a conversation. i liked this idea because it fit in with the work i had done with one narrow space and a larger space.



this is the right side of the project. i took the design of this side from the top of my previous iteration. the opening reveals the narrow space that i have created.


i decided to play more with scale and exaggerate the differences in the sizes of the spaces. i also thought more about how i defined the spaces. continuation allows the eye to recognize two distinct spaces without the larger space being completely delineated.

opening doors

for some reason, i have been wanting to draw a set of keys. so i drew mine and my mom's keys. it was tricky because i'm still getting used to drawing in ink and being ok with little imperfections. but i think it turned out to be a nice drawing!

playing games

over fall break i was looking for things to sketch... and there was my brother's game cube staring at me. so here it is!

site plans

for this one i experimented with making the building light and the area around it dark. it was time-consuming to shade in all the topography lines. but it was worth it because i like how it turned out.



this is the same drawing with the building and trees dark. it took less time, but it's not as pleasing to me as the first one.




for the site plan of my house, i tried showing the direction and shading on the roof using lines and different spacing. although i don't like the look of a dark building on a light background that much, in this case i think it works.

dialog: first iterations

my initial idea was to create one space that is closed off and narrow. this iteration was very flat and possibly could have been considered one space since the triangle cutout opened into the same narrow space.




this shows the narrow space along the sides that i was trying to create.




my second idea was inspired by thinking literally about conversations. i came up with the idea of one person coming in and dominating the conversation. so i created one broad space and a small confined space on the back side.

suzanne's sessions: cell phones and twigs

this is the group of sixteen drawings. in each of them, i incorporated images from both the cell phone and twig images. at first it was hard for me to decide how to alter previous images to create new ones. but once i just started going with the flow, i got things that i really liked.



for my eight images i used mostly rotating and exaggerating. i like the fact that it's hard to see that these designs came from cell phones and twigs.

this is the final four images. i am really happy with them because i made these by combining my favorite images from before.
