During the presentation from last Tuesdays lecture, I was really inspired by another two students work who created objects inspired by their grandmothers. Each of their objects had something of their nans incorporated into it that made the object have a meaning and purpose. As I was already looking into light I wanted to try and bring my nan into it as well as she unfortunately passed not too long ago. As a fashion student as well I thought perhaps involving her clothing into the project with light and see where this could lead.
After also researching various designers who were inspired by light In different ways whether it was light appearing through clothing, little lights and objects creating a new object etc, I started to create a mind map on potential paths I could go down and where it would lead me towards the end of this project.
Once creating my mind maps I was able to have a tutorial with my tutor to see my progress and where it could potentially lead me. We both wanted to make sure I didn’t go down just one route, but I also tried various styles and ideas to see what I could come up with and what would be best suited for my final idea. It was important we did not have a final outcome idea at this point as we needed to explore our minds and develop our skills as a designer and individuals.
During my one to once tutorial I was able to look at some of the uni books that explored these categories.
These two books focused more on lighting and ways you could use them to create an effective display or object.
