My First Post: Inspiration

A note: As this blog gets started up there is going to be a lot of posts, posted all at once, that are not exactly current, but it’s just that I’m trying to catch up to our current project because I didn’t start this blog at the very beginning of this semester. Also the bulk of the photos are from my phone. (I’m not a photography major). 

My first post is just an introduction to this blog and some of the inspiration I found, even before I came to class. Please take the time to read the brief About page, it explains the blog pretty well. I’m in the second semester of my first year of college. For all freshmen at Moore the first year is foundation year, we all basically take the same classes. The first semester I took 2D design and this semester I’m taking 3D design. A basic overview of the class: Learning the basics of design as they pertain to 3-dimentional form and applying it with various techniques. My teacher’s motto: Stay hip, stay young, stay current. So we’re always looking for inspiration, no matter where we are. Its not too difficult to find in Philadelphia though! Over winter break I went to The King of Prussia Mall, at the time I just thought the ceiling looked cool. 

Little did I know this was an excellent example of serial plains!

Poof! With 3D terminology now they’re interconnected polygons. 

I’m beginning to think that with this class along with Art History I’m being brainwashed...
