Relfection Piece III

This week i've really gone back to basics! This is down to the fact i wasn't well and didn't go to college, so i was back to pencil and paper rather than relying on my laptop to do my work on.
 
For me, i feel this benefited me because sometimes, it takes me a while to come up with different design ideas, but because i was only sat using my sketchpad and a pencil, it made me put the creative side of me into full flow. The project that i'm currently working on is for spatial design, and im designing a shopping centre, i initally faced a bit of a mental block in getting my ideas from my head down onto my paper, so i used Google, looking at modern buildings to ignite the spark i needed, and this came when i decided to focus the design of my shopping centre on natural forms.
 
This week, im wanting to continue with my hand drawn designs, and present them in a way i havent before in drawing an initial design and then layering it with tracing paper with various different designs. Focusing more on the hand drawn aspect of my work, will allow me build up my ability in hand drawn work, and boost me not only now but in the long run when it comes to my portfolio.
