Fireplace Design

Hey guys this is my fireplace design, the motif on the tiles will be different, I'm going to look into some symbolism for this. The mantle piece will also be smaller and the whole thing shall be cast iron. If you want to see any other of my designs they're on my blog but I thought I'd put this one up for when we draw the concept art for the rooms. See-ya monday folks!

Hey guys...

Hey guys after the tutoral with Andy and Simon I thought about what we could do with the rooms, I know I missed the meeting and therefore I don't know what you have disscussed and what you have settled on but these are a few things I though t about doing. I think that we should think about extending the living room to the new 16ft limit in length and extend the 10ft width of the room to 14ft this will give us more space to work with and will also extend the door end of Gregor's bedroom to 14ft which will give a bit more room for movement of furniture etc. I also think we should scrap the beetle theme in the furniture and just leave hints or signs in the bedroom to indicate that there is some huge, horrible creature living their without giving away what it is exactly, we could do this by leaving scratch marks in the furniture and markings on the floor and walls to indicate that something nasty is in there, creating fear in the atmosphere with out actually seeing the hideous creature. I think that the Art Nouveau style works as this began way back in the 1890's a few years before early 1900's which is when this story is set but I think we should maybe mix it with Victorian style or something before Art Nouveau to mix up the furniture a bit. The fireplace, windows and doors should be somewhat older than the furniture as they would have most probably been there before the family moved in as these are features they would not have been able to afford to replace. What do you guys think and could someone please post up what you disscussed in the meeting I would like to be able to catch up with those details. Thankyou :D

Tutorial Thurs 2.30

On Thursday 31st we have a group tutorial at 2.30 after presentations with Simon and Andy. We really need the whole group there so everyone knows what's going on. The announcent's on myuca :)

Meeting?

I didn't know if we wanted another meeting on Thursday after the presentations are over, it could be a good opportunity to get the whole group together to see what people have done and to get the people who weren't there Thursday up to date with anything missed. It may also be a good time to flag up any issues people have found or anything they've been thinking about since tuesday. Let me know if you think its a good idea. otherwise the next time we meet wont be until the following week.

Titanic trip Friday if your still interested.

This is the finished mini set with everything in, I think that the John and Stuart did an amazing job of making and organizing the making of the actual room, its really good, and we can now light it and see how it will work yay. By the way if you have any thoughts at all about your work pleases put them up here and it can be another place to comment on peoples ideas, its great to see peoples designs, if you weren't in today can you also put up final designs so we can see what your up to, thanks. :D

These are the small furniture pieces that we created today. The coffee table is what i made and laura made the arm chairs.

I know Eleanor has already draw one on Autocad but I did this before I found out, The scale is 1.5cm - 1ft all the fixtures and items in the room have dimensions for them as well as each room.

Living room: w = 10ft l =12ft

Bedroom: WD = 10ft WB=7ft l=12ft

Windows W=2.16ft (27") l=4ft (48")

Doors: W=2.416 (29")

Fire place: W=3.5ft (42") D=12"

arm Chairs: W=3.4ft D=2.9ft (35")

Dining Table: W=3.5ft(42") L=4.5ft (54")

Chairs: W=1.75ft(21") D=1.75ft(21")

Sofa: W=46ft(56") D=2.6ft(32")

Writing Desk: W=5.5ft(44") D=2.416(29")

Bed = L=6.66ft(80inch) W=3.33ft(40")

Any of these can be changed of course but it all fitted together when I drew it and everything is based on real things. hope these are ok I will bring in to Uni.

IMPORTANT!

Hey guys this was posted on MY UCA, 'Can you all please ensure that you have your PPE with you tomorrow. The studio will be a workshop from now on and if you do not have the relevent PPE you will be asked to leave. Group 1 will be with Henry tomorrow at 10am and Group 2 will be with him at 2pm. Bring with you all drawings etc for Henry to see. Pass on the word please.' Please could you all try and turn up tomorrow it would be great to see the whole group especially to those who have either not turned up to any meetings at all or not turned up to many of our meetings, we are a group which means you should turn up and contribute, you probs think I sound like a b**** right now but when people don't turn up it does rather p*** me off and probs others in the group too. PLEASE group one it would be great if everyone would show up tomorrow!!!
