MIDTERM PROCESS

Goals and concept.

The concept for our CNNC design is the idea of “subtle approach to surprise”. Throughout the entire CNNC space there are a number of subtle moments that appear everywhere from the small specialized foliage in offices to the grand cultural gallery of artwork applied to the rooftops of first floor rooms. We focused on three main goals to apply to our design, they include:

*Strong expression in small scale
*Balance and
*Connection

To implement these goals we:
*Used vibrant colors and materials in small amounts
*Create balance by contrasting colors, textures, and special arrangements and
*Create connections to nature, cultures, and spaces by utilizing natural light, shrubbery and artwork.

Designer Ads

Ad 1
This advertisement for Red Queen Fashion around the world portrays the message well and apeals to it's audience in a number of ways. In each sub picture there are women from from various cultures signifying the diversity of fashion and the beauty of the female. The ad also is visually appealing due to it's many displayed environments, grand color palette, and displayed lighting. The equal spacing of images both created leverage between each cultural symbol as well as signify the equality of all aspects of fashion.



Ad 2

This ad is designed well due to the integration of the liquid substance with the model disposition and purse, the use of a accent color with black and white contrast and the graphic nature of the image. Fashion is the focus and the text along with the image both complement each other in meaning and appearance.

Process from CNNC Project

Throughout my process towards developing a concept, the goal became to combine structure of the space with the cultural differences and similarities of the people. I found interest in creating moments in unexpected areas and utilizing nature-like design elements.
With these ideas, I began to implement both small and large scale moments to amplify the space. Small moments included multi-color carpet and colored glass drop down ceilings. Larger moments happen in the mezanine that overlooks the cultural artwork applied to the roof tops of the different spaces and the second level outdoor area.
Every culture shares an experience and appreciation of nature. Natural elements used in my design include spaces visually united through glass panels, natural light from the many windows and skylights, mini built- in fountains in office walls and front entry, and lush greenery both outside and inside of CNNC space.

Welcome Mat

The photos above are ones of a welcome mat designed to greet an Israeli immigrant upon his or her arrival into their newfound home on America. The hexagon shape is derived from the center of the Star of David found on the Israeli flag. They vary in size to represent the three basic religions within the country( Islam-green, Christianity-blue, and Judaism-yellow) and the strong belief in the omnipresence of God (Clear). The mat is designed to be placed above the threshold or alond the upper side post of the front door. This placement would resemble that of a Mezuzah, a traditional door piece that signifies God's peace and presence within a house.
