productive day!

So today was a good day, I got a lot done or atleast thats what it feels like! I completed the design on my borads and also the design for the booklet. Once the booklet design was completed I worked on the pages that I could so far. This is one of the pages from my booklet...Obviously my inspirations page, but still atleast one that is complete! yay! other than that page I was able to get about 9 pages done. So that is a very productive day! My plan for the rest of the week and weekend is to sketch my bubble and blocking diagrams. And once I have decided on a floorplan that I am happy with I will apply it to the existing plan. I can do that is weekend even though I will be out of town (not by choice). So I am hoping that the weekend will turn out to be as productive if not more than today was!! Have a good weekend all....

sort of productive....

So for today's class I wanted to have the board design completed, and I actually think I do. Since the color scheme that I am using is black and white with punches of color, I wanted to continue to use that theme with the board design. I decided to go with a simple black rectangle around the entire edge. In the top left corner is where the name Onyx Square is located in white font. Also in the center of the board that will all connect is a black square with a white O for Onyx. This center logo has a been faded out so that it will not take over the entire board. The center is the only thing that I am considering changing. I have also done some work on finding materials and finishes today. When it comes to this aspect of work I love it! I love to see what all is out there and make selections.

Something that had slipped my mind up until today was the date for the design project. I was looking through my studio folder and saw that the deadline is March 5th. That would me a little over a week from today! Good thing I have been brainstorming a good amount. The ideas I have are more than likely going to have something to do with light. So we will see how that turns out.

As I was browsing through mirrors on Uttermost.com, which is a great website I found this simple mirror that I love that will be used in the bathrooms of the hotel rooms. It is simple but has interesting detail that surround the mirror! It will also help with the color scheme by not being bold or extravagant and distracting. Finds like this one are the ones that keep me motivated.!!

another weekend

This weekend will not be a super productive one in regards to this project. I have other school stuff adding up that is due much sooner than this one. That means I will be taking breaks from the other subjects to work on this one. I will continue to make selections for the spaces throughout the hotel, restaurant and spa. I will also be working on the floor plans and working in auto cad! I have also been thinking about what it is that I am going to use for the bonus project within the project! but those are all still inside the brain! have a good weekend!!

day after singels day!

So this weekend didn't turn out to be all that productive. I tried but having a 4 year old wanting to do puzzles and play games makes it difficult. But I am still very excited about really getting down to work! I am going to come to campus tomorrow and make up for lost time (thank you snow day)! But I need to make the border for my boards and once that is done time to go!!! I know that this weekend will for sure be a productive weekend as well as this week!

weekend...

Weel its Friday evening and I am at home in Louisville. I walked into my 4 year old niece being crazy but thats just her! Anyways I know what direction I am going for this project I have a name and couldn't be more excited to work on it! I am going to take this weekend to start picking furniture and finishes and lighting and everything else! I am also going to draw up some sketches and get to work! That means come time for class it is time to stare at the computer screen and get down to business! I can't wait!! Its going to be a good relaxing and productive weekend for me! Hope its the same for everybody else!!

near a monday meltdown

So after going to the site of our project and seeing the size and lawn I am now going to reconsider everything that I had planned. I know that I want to make the area where the show room used to be the restaurant and I wanted to use the hangers as the spa. I would like to be able to continue with this idea and plan on taking some of the large hanger space as the kitchen. I have some interesting ideas for the hanger areas as the spa and I am very excited to get to work. I think the reason that I am most excited is because a name finally came to me while viewing the space today. Wednesday is going to be a big day and I plan on getting a lot done and I am looking forward to it very much!!! Meltdown spared by great ideas and visions of the final project. Yay!!!!

the weekend agenda

This weekends plan is all about being studious! I am going home and I will have the house to myself which means peace and quiet!!! I can't wait. My goal is to start working on the floor plan and really figuring stuff out. Bring it on!

not the best day

So I woke up this morning and felt like I had been hit by a train! So that is never good when you have work to do such as this project. However I do know what kinda of design I am going to do I have made up some sketches for the hotel rooms. I am still working on the name. I am the type of person that I have trouble sleeping at night because I am too busy thinking of other things. I was laying in bed last night still thinking of a name and then started to think about what I wanted my boards to look like, where to start with the materials and finishes. I decided that I would like my board to have the same design as the hotel, restaurant and spa. Black and white with a splash of color. In regards to where to start making selections I would like to find an accessory that is traditional with a modern flare to use an inspiration.

My last thought for the night would be the name. I have had so many different thought processes. With the black and white throughout all the areas it got me thinking about the Corvette Museum, however I do not want to use something of that sort again, at least not as obvious. So the thought that I am having is V Plaza. And there there are the other thought processes that include the symbolism of the colors. I wish that the name would just come to me while I'll sleep.....
