that's a difficult question to answer, honestly. i feel like i'm just starting out as a design student and have so much more to learn! i'll do my best to describe an object, space, building, and place that inspire me.
object: bookshelves
i love looking at books on bookshelves. is that weird? stacked books, old books, big books, little books...i think its the clean lines with the worn covers (on old books) that inspire me. i can't say it's the books themselves that would be the inspiration although maybe they should be-if i can ever find time to sit down and read one! just think about all the places a book can take you...
space:the bellagio fountains.
i'm not sure if it's a SPACE or not but i can say that the fountains at the bellagio casino in las vegas definitely inspire me. having grown up in the city (and no, i didn't live in a hotel) it's a place that stuck out in my memory and has always been something i think is inspiring. the different shapes and forms and patterns the water makes is something to be seen for sure.
building: the gladstone hotel in toronto, canada.
my dream is to be able to stay in this hotel! it was remodeled recently and each room was done by a different designer. each room has a different look, feel, and inspiration and each room looks incredible. it's definitely a building that i can look to for inspiration.
place: the open highway.
i'm not sure if that's too general but whenever i need to get out and THINK i just drive. it doesn't matter where-i just go. usually the thoughts come, but they don't always. either way, i got myself up and went somewhere!
This topic is right up my alley. When I'm not posting projects or school assignments I'm always posting things of inspiration or cool things that I didnt know that I would assume other people would find interesting.
ReplyDeleteI've been to the Bellagio... If you think the fountain is inspiring..you should go inside and look at the ceiling of the lobby. Its BREATH TAKING.
I love your post. Its has always intrigued me to find out what inspires people. I think you are spot on with High Ways. Its the perfect place for inspiration! the colors, the sounds.. its always cool to try and sketch the scenery or the people in cars passing you. (because every thing is always moving.. it sharpens your sketching skills)
- great job.
