Species of Spaces

In relation to our studio work on A Sense of Place, in our first studio session we were required to create a series of memories that would challenge the sub-title of "species of spaces". These should demonstrate how spaces work, how they are effected by inhabitants and should explore some form of narrative. 

The drawings created in the boxes provided should be simple yet effective demonstrating our thoughts and ideas. The task was also to consider the frame, how the frame can be effective, scale, proportion, and the use of these in story telling. We were also required to consider the potential use of symbolic and visual messages such as feelings, objects that should all have some form of contextual background. I think this task and this objective was perfect for the first studio session as the idea and methodology of being a designer embodies all those things. Having a consistent viewpoint as well as mapping out initial thoughts and ideas I believe is a crucial part of design therefore I loved the idea behind this task. 

I chose to think about a memory of when I was on holiday last summer in Ibiza. I chose to recreate a day at which we spent at a beach club. I chose to draw my memories from cinematic value, looking at different shots that could help promote to the viewer what the memory is. I then chose to do another at bird's eye view. The difference in story and mood changes just by a simple thing and after completing I could what the tutors were meaning when they recommended us to choose a visual representation that was appropriate. 

Overall, I thought the task was fun and interactive.
