ABOUT ME

I feel I am ready to take the next step and I am determined to continue my education at a
higher level to achieve my goals of studying a course on Interior Design, which will help me
to further advance my artistic talents and creativity.

I have chosen the interior design course because the flexibility of the uses of interiors interests me.

The interior design course goes through every thing I am interested in and would love to learn more about .Eventually I would like a career which links with the world of interior design.

For the summer I have been given a voluntary job to work with an architect company from Rochdale the company works on old mills creating them into modern apartments. This will give me more experience for the course and more experience of working as part of a team.

Development

These 2 pages show development of a hexagon shape developing into design ideas of building.On the first page I show secondary images which inspired my ideas into creating my own. On the second page I have created 3D hexagons out of paper and 2 design ideas with primary images.

Design Idea

On the first page I have drawn a still life pencil shaded drawing of sea shells, later I then drew a design idea front and top view of the building with smooth curves which have been inspired by Zaha Hadid.

From that I have created a 3D piece made out of clay.

Sin

Photograph that I have taken of my friend at the Abito building in Manchester city centre.I feel this is a dramatic image which I took to suggest the outcome of a jealous relationship resulting in suicide for my 7 sins.

River Street

I used acrylic paint with canvas size 30~40 in the painting I show wet Deansgate street with London red buses at night with reflections in the roads this was my second painting using the same technique this painting is not finished.
