Fashion Images

I wanted to look at how fashion shoots could provide me with some inspiration when it comes to designs or creating presentation boards.




The overall image is very striking and elegant, it captures the viewers which is what i would like to do when showcasing my work. The colouring of the image is interesting i like the blue/purple tint to the shot. I would like to take some of these aspects from the picture and use them within certain areas of my work. 






The forms created in this image are interesting, as well as how dramatic they are with the black and white. For my Final Major Project i have to provide drama, this image could help me to look at the way forms are created with fabric and interpret it in my own way.




The image is quite dynamic, as the background is dark and mysterious, yet the model who although is wearing a black dress the colour simply stands out and you are drawn to her. This idea of using a background to set up a sense of mystery with a stark contrast which draws the viewer in could be used for certain renders that i would want to create. 




The use of colour within this image would be useful with my Final Major Project, as a community theatre i wanted to provide splashes of colour mixed with monochrome colours.

Page Layouts

Riba - Presidents Medal Students Awards 

Human Nature - Marie Kojzar


Like the mixture of media showing the new architecture that will be being proposed to the new area.


Ecological Research & Macro Algae Monitoring Facility, North Arsenale, Venice

The layout of this piece of work is appealing with the mass use of white space to draw your attention to the images. I like how the colours of the images are muted making the pages look really sophisticated.


The set out for the location of the site is interesting, i like the use of colours and how the site image is broken down.


The sections are very interesting, the use of colour highlight the areas of importance to show the design elements and how the piece will work within the current building.


Zeitgeist Archive, Berlin 





I like how they have used some of the pages to provide images of full renders giving a clear indication of the design proposal.

An Acoustic Lyrical Mechanism


The break down of the model with the detailed component drawings help to communicate ideas effectively.


I like the page with it's simplicity of breaking down the image in a fun way, it provides the viewer with an alternative perspective of how the building works together  as well as drawing your attention to certain features within the building.

Northern Lights Inspiration

The northern lights was my main inspiration due to the shapes that are created and the colours.

Zaha Hadid Opera house

Use of lines and modular shapes great for inspiration, very clean with the use of white.




Interiors create a sense of a much larger space in which the visitor can be amused by.


Colourful interiors

Lighting has created the bright use of colour to the interiors which could be altered depending on the mood that you want to portray within the room.


Splash of colour

Use of light to create the very bold colours within the water








Could create something similar however with words cut into it from certain plays etc




Look at nature and how they bring colour to the environment and inspiration can be drawn from them.


Hotel Reception Miami

Use of lines to help make the space look elongated, good source of inspiration for the community theatre foyer to create more drama. More dramatic colours could be used though, but the design helps to draw your focus to the reception area.


Inspirational ideas

Like the use of simple lighting to held separate the wall design creates focus points around the room making it more interesting. Mixture of textures and bold colours against the wood veneer helping to create a more colourful interior.

Creative Ideas

Use of well known children's toy to create an intriguing piece of art


Use of colours in such a fun way could be useful for designing areas within the community theatre that give the users a feeling of creativity.




Wave of colour, positive image use of black to help colour stand out




Dramatic use of colour, bold strokes, emotive.








Ice Canyon, contrast in colours
