Interim review

By Marcella Williams

My Brief I have been asked to design a wallpaper design for the design company roll out, I have been asked to design a wallpaper that bring two contrasting concepts together, for one wall that would fit in with the rest of the company's designs and reflect what the company represent.

This is a brief that will be a challenge because I will have to capture the atmosphere of trinity buoy wharf or royal navel college and combine them with a opposite concept and still representing the company.

My Inspiration.So thinking about the brief I

brainstormed things within these two areas, that contrasted and were complete opposites.

I thought the baroque style stood out as it is such an influential style of artwork and is different as the building in royal navel college and trinity buoy wharf, are rather simplistic compared to the detailed realistic style of baroque which features inside the museum in royal navel college. I can explore and experiment when designing a possible wallpaper.

Idea one .So as I was doing my research I came across and artist called Botticeli and he uses the same style as baroque even though he's a bit before the time period by I really like the lines and colour he uses in his work and this painting of “the birth of Venus” stuck out to me and I wanted to use it in one of my ideas.

So as Venus is associated with water I thought it would be relevant to use as the trinity buoy wharf and royal navel college are all surrounded by water. And started to do some pencil drawings of how I could incorporate these two things.

Experiments.So I started to experiment with how I could use the rollout wallpaper company as inspiration and started to see how I could adapt this to make it fit in with the company's look.

Idea two.My second idea is to do with the cherubs that feature quote a lot with the baroque theme and I thought I could use these and incorporate the old traditional cherubs with the new modern day buildings .
