Selecting colour
Taking reference from the previous images gathered in town i have chosen a pallete to use as my warp yarns.
I want to have my warp quite heavy on the colour to the left and then gradually moving to more subtle, neutral colours on theright, showing (similar to the image below) how movement affects colour.

Experimenting with capturing motion..
Day trip to Manchester!
Looking at documenting peoples movements, the way in which my camera will capture the rush is all a matter of trial and error. Exposure/shutter speed is vital for the images to work.
The slower the better i think is the motto!
I want to focus on looking at the way the light that bounces off people is carried over the photo, notice the hints of orange and yellow that seem to move across the image.

Sea, light, Waves, Summer!
Over the summer i was fortunate enough to be able to take a trip to Gran Canaria, whilst there i found myself drawn to the motion of the waves moving and the way the light from the sun bounced and reflected off the seas surface. I want to to and capture the idea of light and motion for this project.
Here are my Favorite images ..

Final context board for glass panel!
Here is the finished context board i have been working on.
It shows all my ideas, sources, materials and inspiration.
I wanted to create a really tactile board, which if shown to a client would portray my ideas as well as possible. I have included the finished visualisation for the new build, showing my idea to create a glass panel that would be housed in the to lanterns at the top of the building.
I have shown a example of how i would like to create the finished panel, including one of my own glass prints and a small sample of my own plastic wallet prints.
I hope that this board shows you exactly what i would like to achieve if i were to win the 'commission' as it were.
Final visualization
For my final visualization for the new build i am proposing a stained glass style window for the 2 lanterns at the top of the building. Using thin glass with the image printed on in coloured ink i hope to create the illusion of movement and scope around the new build.
I think the colours i have chosen to use and a good contrast to the dull, plain interior of the building so far. Using Photoshop i was able to take a image i had taken on the site tour a few weeks ago and super impose my design onto the lantern windows. I made the rest of the image black and white to show the colours of the glass panels in more detail, and by adding vector people was able to show the scale of my design.
Do you think this works?
Strong image
This is my final strong image, created using paper rolls, edited on Photoshop on and then made into a pattern. I think the way in which this relates to my project has worked really well. As you will have read in an early post i did about these rolls they were created using important images i have worked with throughout the project.
What does the image make you think of? Does it hold any significance to you. I hope that by injecting an element of colour into the new build the spaces will feel more user friendly and less like a dark, empty space that feels lifeless.
