New Lampshade Idea!!

I have thought of a different way how to create my lampshade. Instead of creating supports to hold the paper i could use wire to create a shape e.g a sphere and cover that shape with stretchy thin material. This would allow the lights inside of it to illuminate.

Peter Saville

Below are some of Peter Saville's work, i would say that they have inspired me on how i want to produce my final posters for my 'emotions' theme. The image at the top is really simple and just uses various lines to create like a 3D effect. Below that i was looking at his use of colour. The way how they all come together its like they are creating some kind of mood. Also he uses alot of vibrant colours to really make it stand out.

Poster Ideas

Model

Here i was trying to create something like the lampshade i posted earlier. I found it quite a challenge and had to measure out the lengths on paper to cut out. The paper at the top should be rounded instead of bumpy. I should have cut those pieces smaller in length. Also the middle piece of paper should be the longest piece as it has the furthest to stretch. You can also see than there are still pieces that need covering. This would mean that i need to cut out more slots and apply more paper. i think that this method is very doable. I think i could also create a diamond shape and maybe a box shape. I think that if i decide to do this as my 3D model then it would look good with the lights inside of it. And the translucent plastic.

Initial Ideas

3D Model Idea Maybe?

So i was just looking for some inspiration and i looked at my the lampshade i have in the hallway at home. It had some resemblance to what i want to create for my 3D model. Its made from some translucent plastic which when lit up (as pictured below) looks really illuminated. I thought that if i was to create something like this but place the fibre optic lights inside it would create mood and feeling. Before i decide on my decision to pursue this idea i am going to create a 3D model of the shape i want the fibre lights to illuminate.

I was researching different colour meanings and what they mean in different countries and cultures. I found this quite interesting and thought that i need to consider different tones of different colours, and maybe think in more detail about which colours i will use.

Emotions Research

This ia a piece of work i did for the colour brief. I think that it is a simple design and i just wanted to get the 'colour' part clear.

Color causes more emotion than black and white. So anything with more color in it is going to be more emotional to look at, whether it is the difference between a gold or silver sword, or a gold or silver computer. In both cases the gold is going to be more emotional

Things that are personal are emotional, personal things that people like and that they feel are “close” to them. Things like home or anything someone likes actually. That is a definition of emotion after all, something that causes feeling. So if you like it, it is probably going to cause more feeling. Other things aside from liking something could cause emotions from it, such as curiosity, but usually like is one of the stronger emotions. You could say that the two are directly proportional, the more you like something, the more it is going to cause feeling.

But there are things that people like that cause thought. You could like something and it causes you to think, and we previously defined emotion as feeling, not thought. That thoughts are separate from emotions because thought is a period of thinking. What exactly is thinking then? You can think about emotions, “how did I feel then?” etc. So is thought just a period of increased attention? Or is it a sharp spike in attention focused on one particular thing that is clear? It is hard to focus that much if you are feeling a lot, however. This makes me conclude that there is an overlap of feeling and thought, like a Venn diagram. But there are still parts of thought that don’t have feeling or emotion in them, and parts of emotion that don’t have thought in them. That means that thought requires more concentration than feeling does, since we defined thought as a period of increased attention. You can be emotional and have more attention, but usually if you are emotional you are going to be less attentive than you would be if you were thinking more.
