Board Shorts

Apart of our course was to design a pair of board shorts using only geometric or organic shapes. We are to construct a simple pattern that can be repeated to form a yardage. We got given a board short template to lay over our yardage to show a mock up of our design. The board shorts were to be completed to the point that we could get them made. We have to create 3 color variations of the design in accordance of three of the following: Summer, Contrasting colors, harmonious colors, winter, spring, monochromatic, Autumn, retro or other.

I chose Spring, Summer, Winter

 In Bloom

Using one of my paintings i picked the parts of the painting i thought suited the board shorts most, these pair represented spring in the way that they have warmth colors through them as well as the cold blue colors.

Come as you are

A drawing which i had done, i picked the pieces and put in together on the board short template.  This design represented summer with the lime and yellow colors.

Drain you

Water color painting on canvas, then cropped and placed onto the board shorts. These blue minty colors represent winter as they have aquas, purples and blues through them.

BUNDANON

Bundanon was a place where we were inspired to design and create. We went as apart of our graphic design coarse. As our design brief was to create a cafe that would fit into the Bundanon landscape this included brainstorming ideas so the cafe was environmentally helpful. We made the models over 3 days, using foam, cardboard, wood wire and paints.

The Bundanon Landscape which or cafe would fit into environmentally, physically and share similar design style. 

Above is an image of my Cafe, i think the Design fits into the bundanon environment well as it uses natural materials like wood. the positives of my design were i like the curved shapes in the cafe design and the warm colors in represents. In my design i made a shelter with wood that slants down, this design was to keep shade and also protect from the rain. there are four main places of my cafe, the outside shaded area, the kitchen, the bar/drink place and the food area. Negative aspect of my cafe was that it was a bit large, and for the amount of visitors to bundanon the space could be to big.
