final developments for tree design

these design came about a lot quicker than previous developments, i feel more comfortable within this style and way of working something i think i should consider for FMP.!

i prefer these designs as well as the concept is in keeping with the play ground idea but uses type in an abstract way to represent the shapes that climbing frames form when looked at in different ways. this kind of offset looked...never lined up.

Development of idea for tree idea

these ideas developed from some of my photographic research and also some specific research works that where made up of these tight grid shapes. the grid concept came from originally the shapes of jungle gyms however it became a bit relaxed after taking influence from my photographic research.

However these designs need improving as they are not strong and compared to some of my contextual research they need to be of a higher quality.

maybe i should simplify the concept and go from there.

messy tree imagery

In amongst the photo's that i have taken i selected out these ones as they are really interesting as they create really complex imagery like a spiders web or in the case of my concept for this brief a climbing frame structure.
from this i need to make drawings as i have done a lot of research into this brief but i lack the development of the idea as this brief only was intended to last me a week i need to finish it off quickly and appropriately.

organic shapes

i found these shapes on a band stand in the park. i felt that if i wanted to go down the idea route of a tree that is a climbing frame then i should look at more structures like this. i think the shapes even tho they are made from metal create very interesting shapes.....therefore creating a climbing frame in the shape of a tree i should consider the colours as this should help create a more metal look.

bark

If i decide to create more realistic imagery then i need to look at the different shapes that are created by the bark on trees (more imagery in folder work). also the colours that a on Th's part of the tree are very different to the leaf colours so i will need to consider what is needed as i don't want to over complicate the design especially as i have the set space to create the design in and i need to consider how i will create the tree around the number one/ incorporate it into the design!

leaf's

These leaf photos have pulled up some interesting points which i need to consider such as. the colour i need to look at these photos and consider the colour's that are present and the ones that i should incorporate into my design. also the shapes of the leaf's are really interesting something i will need to consider in my design, the type of tree I'm trying to portrait!

these leaves have been photographed in Autumn and the colours are dark greens/muddy browns and orangy yellows.

Trees

Initially this is a selection of photographs i took of trees. i wanted to get a realistic image of the tree to help me understand the tree form and not just come up with the shape in my head!

with these photo's i looked at a range of different shaped trees (more are printed and in folder work). i found some really interesting shapes that i need to look at and develop my idea with the knowledge of the shapes and styles trees can take.
