<br />I know, I know, poetry right? Well turns out I really love that class.
<br />
<br />I'm also currently working on my portfolio, which I'm feeling quite proud of, but am not quite prepared to post as of right now, I'm getting feed back on it next week, and depending on how that goes, I might just post it.
<br />
<br />I'm also working on a concept for the city of Detroit, mainly the Michigan Central Station..it's based of Marcel Duchamps Guest + Host = Ghost project..in which Marcel wrapped candies in wrappers where he had Guest + Host = Ghost printed.....
<br />My concept, is based on a series of words, but mostly I'm basing it off the idea of Detroit, and it's ghost town appearance, I'm using the words disembodiment, transparent, x ray and orb as a few of my inspiration.
<br />
<br />Promise to post more when I have longer than 5 minutes. (When, and if that ever happens)

I'm very excited because honestly, I thought it had been stolen. I had submitted it to the student show, and priced it at $90, when I went back to pick up my work it was gone! No one had called me to tell me it had sold or anything! Next thing I knew I got a check in the mail for $90 from the SEO. AMAZING! Much better than what I thought had happened!<br /><br />Well: Here's the piece I sold!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7nrQTrfdWQzfdNO1tnEaIuGOJayRMdMDHGNJL7LmmhYgRWK93nWKqX0_uGt5-a36Zm39pC3m7pnXeMrvS8zCnCp8FD3OBl_kK0ym0Kq5htxY-pjjbq4HZs2KU5AHks0LwmeFs7IGF6rM/s1600-h/100_2269.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7nrQTrfdWQzfdNO1tnEaIuGOJayRMdMDHGNJL7LmmhYgRWK93nWKqX0_uGt5-a36Zm39pC3m7pnXeMrvS8zCnCp8FD3OBl_kK0ym0Kq5htxY-pjjbq4HZs2KU5AHks0LwmeFs7IGF6rM/s200/100_2269.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354620356055371010" border="0" /></a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-75384623136632056312009-06-27T23:07:00.002-04:002009-06-27T23:15:43.333-04:00Summer only leads to FallI'm posting my fall schedule, and can not wait for fall to be here! I'm excited about my classes, and moving into my apartment!<br /><br />I'm also hoping to get this job at the Crepe Shop inside the building. I love the place, and the owner's a really cool chick! So hopefully I'll land this job! It would certainly make life easier for my senior year of CCS! SENIOR YEAR!<br /><br />I've finally made it!<br /><br />Summer's been interesting, and not nearly as productive as I'd like thus far. I've been working when I get the chance, but between my job, and all the other random things that have popped up I haven't gotten very far.<br /><br />I've got quite a bit done for my portfolio, but still am not ready to present it to anyone. I'm really happy with how some of the pages have turned out, and once I get everything finalized and tweaked I'll be ready to put it in presentation form!<br /><br />So that's where that is.<br /><br />I'm also making my own duvet cover for my bed, sewing a few shirts and two skirts, working on my sketching skills and soaking up the sun!<br /><br />I've ridden my bike everyday now for well over a month! And I'm getting great results! I feel better, I look better and I'm happier! It's such a nice relaxing thing to do! Today I rode 10 miles with my brother and then went to the gym with my mom for swimming. All in all it's been good.<br /><br />And since my laptop doesn't have internet at this point, you won't be seeing any recent work, but as soon as I get it all set I'll be doing a mass upload.<br /><br />Until then!<br /><br />My Fall Classes:<br />Poetry<br />Business Practices (This is a senior studio class for interiors)<br />Site Specific Casting<br />Senior Studio<br />Philosophy.<br /><br />More to come soon!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-19110355911504089182009-05-22T22:27:00.002-04:002009-05-22T22:30:32.386-04:00Coroflot + Portfolio days.Okay, I'm doing this quick little update, just for updates sake. I'm working on a lot right now, mostly my portfolio, both online and hard copy, trying to come up with a clever way to construct the physical version as well as an intriguing online copy. But for now, here's my coroflot. I'm having issues with it. It's not uploading work right now, but as soon as they've got the issues worked out, I promise to post more work!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_details.asp?individual_id=255635<br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="144" height="342" salign="t"><param name="movie" value="http://www.coroflot.com/flashfiles/badge.swf?id=255635"><param name="salign" value="t"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="FlashVars" value="id=255635"><embed src="http://www.coroflot.com/flashfiles/badge.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="144" height="342" salign="t" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="id=255635"></embed></object><br/>view my portfolio:<br/><a href="http://www.coroflot.com/MelissaByle">coroflot.com/MelissaByle</a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-57687687275433001842009-05-18T22:49:00.005-04:002009-05-19T21:55:18.511-04:00Hair PieceOkay, after spending the day in Ann Arbor, looking at this lovely lovely hair piece I've wanted for some time, but couldn't bring myself to spend $25 on. I decided, what the heck, I can make this! It's just some feathers! And guess what, I did! And best part, it only cost me $10 and now I have tons of feathers glue, and hair pins if I ever decide to make something from those.<br />Here's the pictures of it! :D<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYbXCLNE_jaiRHUIcfCOlBxcqt2LwLc1Yesowi6YS1a3JV_iLL7lRFVVra7dCYxVBKSUHbvesuKf4TOZgBGF2Kp5HQxdNOsgCpgsjRiEq-1PkuvdOhkKYeBg-ew6ClXAUQJgEBh4x0Uvw/s1600-h/100_4177.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYbXCLNE_jaiRHUIcfCOlBxcqt2LwLc1Yesowi6YS1a3JV_iLL7lRFVVra7dCYxVBKSUHbvesuKf4TOZgBGF2Kp5HQxdNOsgCpgsjRiEq-1PkuvdOhkKYeBg-ew6ClXAUQJgEBh4x0Uvw/s200/100_4177.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337364465272097330" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_c8JvaAvtlhona_F6laJnpvh6GhXTRZkSWKeI2RSe2Ra-oOTo05v_rFV-HgrLPj6MRirYrSR8L_XfQTRNN5d_KDDzJ6dhlrxUpIs9_JqYGHBkd7OayJX2RYmvpYOsw27x_QgkO6Fv5ek/s1600-h/100_4196.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_c8JvaAvtlhona_F6laJnpvh6GhXTRZkSWKeI2RSe2Ra-oOTo05v_rFV-HgrLPj6MRirYrSR8L_XfQTRNN5d_KDDzJ6dhlrxUpIs9_JqYGHBkd7OayJX2RYmvpYOsw27x_QgkO6Fv5ek/s200/100_4196.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337364717583503042" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCyvPJ3IzqAY1Z2nAiuqTVhwsw0Ceua8hKFQXWV4K7X7x3CEVz4R7rZSyFJUXA7PZyhrehfg5bD2LtJ1sdCglrXEWEmpGT_KIJcMhDlFs6AVsqZSXQOR1-k-FYde4Vph6GpaV5Az8gp0k/s1600-h/100_4225.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCyvPJ3IzqAY1Z2nAiuqTVhwsw0Ceua8hKFQXWV4K7X7x3CEVz4R7rZSyFJUXA7PZyhrehfg5bD2LtJ1sdCglrXEWEmpGT_KIJcMhDlFs6AVsqZSXQOR1-k-FYde4Vph6GpaV5Az8gp0k/s200/100_4225.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337365168436601746" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_c8JvaAvtlhona_F6laJnpvh6GhXTRZkSWKeI2RSe2Ra-oOTo05v_rFV-HgrLPj6MRirYrSR8L_XfQTRNN5d_KDDzJ6dhlrxUpIs9_JqYGHBkd7OayJX2RYmvpYOsw27x_QgkO6Fv5ek/s1600-h/100_4196.JPG">.</a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-25564061247036752492009-05-16T23:09:00.004-04:002009-05-16T23:17:49.979-04:00Student Show + Matt Graduated?Wow. I can't believe this, my younger brother just officially received his BFA Thursday night. I can hardly wait til I walk across the stage.<br /><br />Congratulations Matt!<br /><br />I also just want to throw out there, that this semester was my best academic semester so far! 3.49. I'm hoping they round so I can be an official member of the Dean's List at last!<br /><br />I plan on wasting away my lazy summer days working on further developing my design skills, as well as the technical aspects. I've spent the beginning of my summer reading 101 things I learned in Architecture School, and A Manual of Construction Documentation. Woo hoo right?<br /><br />Hopefully this will pay off and lead to wonderful work!<br /><br />I also plan on visiting NeoCon if I can find the means to get to Chicago, and visiting some schools I'm considering for the ol' MFA.<br /><br />But for now, I will continue to plug away at 3ds Max, After Effects and Dreamweaver. Hopefully by the end of the summer I'll have an amazing website up and running! Wish me luck!<br /><br /><br />And finally, what your really here for:<br /><br />Some work<br /><br />This is the chair I created earlier in the semester. It's currently on auction at Art Van, but only for a few more days! Check out there site and bid! Starting bids are only a mere $50! Considerably cheap for a piece of art work!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGd03RyA1pM0Ry8mrBhjUCnOvlHQg92EOYUhKoK7gVC5vNx7KfbV5Al-Tl9rvpVnXz_x7XfEZe4aqqImKJg_mCqLCPFsGX-X0Ua3yklFqOXjFry0mFd0QLSxPJE62HEZhH6kEB-8Tx8c/s1600-h/11.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGd03RyA1pM0Ry8mrBhjUCnOvlHQg92EOYUhKoK7gVC5vNx7KfbV5Al-Tl9rvpVnXz_x7XfEZe4aqqImKJg_mCqLCPFsGX-X0Ua3yklFqOXjFry0mFd0QLSxPJE62HEZhH6kEB-8Tx8c/s200/11.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336626211529875650" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNql-KzOAXk5Sovp05UW-WhM8rEBJzL4IetPsd-y7y7yxHWOXBAeFIwqinkrAb-XDEXyWRKUXBBlW5BNmWmCvasp8cm-RWeyVF7LRD_e-FEccZF1ibXVhFWN20wQqxFcweMzSbmVb0ryY/s1600-h/Yellow_Black.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 132px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNql-KzOAXk5Sovp05UW-WhM8rEBJzL4IetPsd-y7y7yxHWOXBAeFIwqinkrAb-XDEXyWRKUXBBlW5BNmWmCvasp8cm-RWeyVF7LRD_e-FEccZF1ibXVhFWN20wQqxFcweMzSbmVb0ryY/s200/Yellow_Black.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336626693524436514" border="0" /></a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-4654239702339983102009-05-02T11:25:00.006-04:002009-05-16T22:59:29.052-04:00Pokey.So, It's been months since I've updated. Mostly because I've been busy and work, and partly because I've entirely forgotten I had the option.<br /><br />I'll start at the beginning -<br />My courses this semester =<br />Sculpture<br />Lighting Design<br />Junior Interior Studio<br />3Ds Studio 2<br />Business Practices<br /><br /><br />For sculpture, I focused on using lighting in my projects....<br />The first project, SET.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifNUq7kHTlJqc8m77UpW_BkZC9CfB0IX8BXUr4dU4y5Aa647iZV5qSWpIkuY19JmZQXf3CE7Q1W4VeI2HQpTRaVeDejIkEKhRRmIKxa9cOKpQw9_4VL2VX-k7xbJsujw06nrjb1JFBRiA/s1600-h/100_3151.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifNUq7kHTlJqc8m77UpW_BkZC9CfB0IX8BXUr4dU4y5Aa647iZV5qSWpIkuY19JmZQXf3CE7Q1W4VeI2HQpTRaVeDejIkEKhRRmIKxa9cOKpQw9_4VL2VX-k7xbJsujw06nrjb1JFBRiA/s200/100_3151.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331249464761750210" border="0" /></a>During this summer, I plan on doing some site maintenance, so I'll add the concepts behind these pieces, as well as more photos of the works.<br /><br /><br />The second project, Artificial Light Source.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTavnqBziqRda9B1NpUukfdQhSzVthwi3bOJjAyb5-izTwxVsgLZmRh2pp149ANv3GrqMqo9E-0Cszb5oGq2U5lgkBkMfkY5uSeJ7uuqnp235YUiapU1uCjDkwzOxk__BWZZROIwPv2yE/s1600-h/100_3227.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTavnqBziqRda9B1NpUukfdQhSzVthwi3bOJjAyb5-izTwxVsgLZmRh2pp149ANv3GrqMqo9E-0Cszb5oGq2U5lgkBkMfkY5uSeJ7uuqnp235YUiapU1uCjDkwzOxk__BWZZROIwPv2yE/s200/100_3227.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331249934840800834" border="0" /></a><br />And my third and final project, Clustered.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOIr8KrBugvcRBSlP0AqA1xNF9Y4lAgu2CKD_rmkMey9xkSs1GjvD2iYmLwOuvCv4ZB1lkeFPCN0AVVW5jVl2Sy4pyzqilRmKxgYOTU8egaZLCn2FdcI_tGyGiCkLyCbN5E0flLnUjDJI/s1600-h/100_4147.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOIr8KrBugvcRBSlP0AqA1xNF9Y4lAgu2CKD_rmkMey9xkSs1GjvD2iYmLwOuvCv4ZB1lkeFPCN0AVVW5jVl2Sy4pyzqilRmKxgYOTU8egaZLCn2FdcI_tGyGiCkLyCbN5E0flLnUjDJI/s200/100_4147.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331250316246455762" border="0" /></a><br />Lighting Design:<br />The project for this course coincides with the final project for my studio course, which was an educational facility, I chose to create a fine arts school. In my lighting design, I wanted to keep the # of light fixtures to a minimum to eliminate the change in lighting temperature from classroom to studios. I wanted to keep in mind the effect the lighting temperature has on the student artists work.<br /><br />I will add photos of this as soon as I have a internet connection to my other computer. Unfortunately, I have not yet added them to the desktop. I really need to invest in a external hard drive to make this easier. Currently using a 2GB flash drive, which no matter how much it sounds like, it does not seem to hold much.<br /><br />And I'll end with next semester's classes =<br />Senior Interior Design Studio (FINALLY!)<br />Buisness Practices Seminar<br />Philosophy of the Arts<br />Poetry Writing Workshop<br />Site Specific Casting<br /><br />Along with my schools move to a new building, we'll see how this semester goes.<br /><br /><br /><br />And the most important update, I've chosen to continue my educational career and am currently exploring the different ideas of where I might go for my Masters degree, and what I will get it in. I've been told by my sculpture teacher to seriously consider Fine Arts, while another teacher has told me to continue in Interiors.

I chose fine arts because I actually know people in the department who can give me in put on what types of things they'd like, not to mention I'm minoring in Fine Art.<br />And speaking of Fine Art. I finally have a class this semester. Not that I did not have enough work already, I decided to add more. I'm taking sculpture, and working on an installation piece right now. I'm really enjoying the class, and our teacher is new to the department, and so far, seems pretty intelligent.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-70425541328538077052009-01-24T23:30:00.009-05:002009-01-24T23:38:05.363-05:00SAAB Project<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9wOWyL832A6gRNdcwTf-r_cFQE-aWx1gGtYeOdDfbl46lFw_5rxlyvgEgEtmqNkbQu2qa3XNn3nXsLWGD3TCGILx55qxEqwm7lfDtQtQPCuAqm9fVAaIpB9jtVdiXzvttuRtzDzxgtxY/s1600-h/saab+dealership+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

But here I am updating finally, better late than never.<br /><br />The end of the semester went very well minus a tough cold and losing my voice for a week and a half. My homework seemed to go smoothly and I feel the projects turned out pretty well.<br />I however, plan on finding some time this semester to re-render <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFlR4lL1JgN5zkLgySt_-2y9DNZStZRpbkAg_5atPFzczqpjqgHYnQXIsUAZnBwTASATEn6933zQX98kRoVUlZTVkWKJk3U6p6zQyaKwMgHAVJCH2-Yvm96jWQdL2pFXWtM9Xav0TnfsE/s1600-h/FINAL+RENDERING+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFlR4lL1JgN5zkLgySt_-2y9DNZStZRpbkAg_5atPFzczqpjqgHYnQXIsUAZnBwTASATEn6933zQX98kRoVUlZTVkWKJk3U6p6zQyaKwMgHAVJCH2-Yvm96jWQdL2pFXWtM9Xav0TnfsE/s200/FINAL+RENDERING+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295079893914547554" border="0" /></a>and fix a few things in my Saab project. As artists, we are never satisfied.<br /><br />I'm most proud of my loft design, Blue Bird Lofts. I want to live in it forever. But, alas, first I must graduate and find a real job.<br /><br />The overall goal of this design, was inspired by Anthropologie. I wanted to create a loft in a multiple season environment, and use colors that would fit throughout the year.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV9EQDfywtlMDB5YSqzlayqsS7GvJ6EXSyFhLHIO7qmOGyilfh_2cd3FEUoh5MGXXhrS203RALsI6oOm7QwfvwEbaIIndazgmf8FepwAg7ISLmsW92IL0MRgVjHJBMikLLLX16KPG7rhA/s1600-h/FINAL+RENDERING+5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV9EQDfywtlMDB5YSqzlayqsS7GvJ6EXSyFhLHIO7qmOGyilfh_2cd3FEUoh5MGXXhrS203RALsI6oOm7QwfvwEbaIIndazgmf8FepwAg7ISLmsW92IL0MRgVjHJBMikLLLX16KPG7rhA/s200/FINAL+RENDERING+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295079605554001810" border="0" /></a>The loft pays close attention to architectural detail, but has a modern flair. I also wanted to include various artists.<br /><br />I created a custom staircase leading up to the second floor loft space, where the bedroom and a library space are present. There is also an overhang area where I would personally put an easel and painting supplies, however I left the design open for each person to envision their own special items there.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj64jwk2C7EY_dCLzV3ZVlOc34KyWFFcmVoPa5Yxon75GDbpbQgh1ANIsPYtChradIwg0K14PvNHohEyQEGf6Ue0J40N7uAz6XdADEDu7ovpohwVlTYW0s_RvcD8HMIgM8i8CeXBpADpeE/s1600-h/FINAL+RENDERING+3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj64jwk2C7EY_dCLzV3ZVlOc34KyWFFcmVoPa5Yxon75GDbpbQgh1ANIsPYtChradIwg0K14PvNHohEyQEGf6Ue0J40N7uAz6XdADEDu7ovpohwVlTYW0s_RvcD8HMIgM8i8CeXBpADpeE/s200/FINAL+RENDERING+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295081666587071234" border="0" /></a>The first floor features an open floor plan. The kitchen, bathroom, and living space are included in this area.<br /><br />I chose to use Angela Adams Rugs, and Anthropologie fabrics throughout the loft. The bed is something I designed myself for this project. The wall behind the bed is shaped like (---). It houses a large book case on the opposite wall, and shelf space on the wall above the bed.<br /><br />I used a lot of picture frames <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXIwVYizxpWRh6VnL2rvNXR_sD86vy9EHioynNjmeM9-iLng9NQ3DJODjtO1B6Jd_O549CYJjiLHkzOWm37RjVm-K5CEEiKveqdR-89v8NNFj_T2kh3949J-ziLQ1NqmYSUd8IXQ5yR3g/s1600-h/FINAL+RENDERING+4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXIwVYizxpWRh6VnL2rvNXR_sD86vy9EHioynNjmeM9-iLng9NQ3DJODjtO1B6Jd_O549CYJjiLHkzOWm37RjVm-K5CEEiKveqdR-89v8NNFj_T2kh3949J-ziLQ1NqmYSUd8IXQ5yR3g/s200/FINAL+RENDERING+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295082379273858146" border="0" /></a>throughout, which is something inspired by Anthropologie. The bird cage hanging from the ceiling houses candles for a more romantic evening. The chairs are also inspired by Anthropologie.

So I drew up a few ideas, and decided to go with two things that have influenced me greatly with my art work and life in general, and went with Nature, and Music. So, after drawing boom boxes, flowers, trees, i pods, and head phones, this is my solution, I can not decide if they should be on both shoes, so I left it on one for now, going to have to get some opinions on that, and I have yet to decide if I want to add more, but as of today, I am happy with the result, so I am going to leave them how they are.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdCzic8U8ilTtOxApDEFW9NsGZoLOafxOkp7aSFqewn-_0Jaz76KnCUxopPbhKLV8z99UE7k6Y8mwxF3ohuY1ktVDB0vbQ4o1mklWA60UkmriFlo7Cni2xPESw0kpAnpiTtLb6-1nuwMQ/s1600-h/100_1311.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdCzic8U8ilTtOxApDEFW9NsGZoLOafxOkp7aSFqewn-_0Jaz76KnCUxopPbhKLV8z99UE7k6Y8mwxF3ohuY1ktVDB0vbQ4o1mklWA60UkmriFlo7Cni2xPESw0kpAnpiTtLb6-1nuwMQ/s200/100_1311.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237012328439068594" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Before<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7hMK7TikDJ3mlCx4qUIxm7_AYXFGRiuhWhMAOq-TZz0EbbUxtFbP8MSxcsaK9lkCjPNGoB4gThFLEfk1vPXcc9aeWZ7m8QmPTE2ewYk0OmIrRo9GEwR2k8BHScTRy_KobeOwLdjbCV8/s1600-h/100_1315.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7hMK7TikDJ3mlCx4qUIxm7_AYXFGRiuhWhMAOq-TZz0EbbUxtFbP8MSxcsaK9lkCjPNGoB4gThFLEfk1vPXcc9aeWZ7m8QmPTE2ewYk0OmIrRo9GEwR2k8BHScTRy_KobeOwLdjbCV8/s200/100_1315.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237012541277177202" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">After...<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I'm working on my first project of the year already....a presentation due the first day of classes, I'll have more on that later...for now, I must continue packing for moving day..<br /></div><br /><br /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-22708858351206286152008-08-01T00:29:00.003-04:002008-08-01T02:08:27.613-04:00Slow Poke....I know it's been a while.<br />I've just been trying to sort through some things lately, and have therefore not done much on the lines of art work....<br />but a little sketching, which i have no problem posting, but it's simply sketching and hasn't been taken any further so far.

Which I will hopefully explain later, and show images along side the description, but for now, the sketching...<br />I'm trying to start a full color drawing in Illustrator/Photoshop, but this is something I've not really done yet as I've only thus far learned traditional art in the areas of drawing and painting, so we'll see how it goes, hopefully my AutoCad and previous classes in Illustration and Photoshop help me out a little, other than that, I'm on my own.<br />I'll post it if it's something I feel is satisfactory.<br />But for now, here's just some fun lettering I did/sketching.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtv0VU09m6OA0BrUc6xylv6Jn73epICvpap0jhtvbda_32bHghU7d7p0LCbhnK4pFXJMUNOyTptapV-DziBYnWfWH70BG49RmjYHtS92scb7khTKDLlEPi_O2bdYRNj5v3ZvXbtT8-el8/s1600-h/sketchy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtv0VU09m6OA0BrUc6xylv6Jn73epICvpap0jhtvbda_32bHghU7d7p0LCbhnK4pFXJMUNOyTptapV-DziBYnWfWH70BG49RmjYHtS92scb7khTKDLlEPi_O2bdYRNj5v3ZvXbtT8-el8/s200/sketchy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229426861424253922" border="0" /></a><br />Also, registered for my classes finally.

Second semester, we were told to pick out a designer, any fashion designer we wished. Which of course, led me to having to do quite a bit of research. I decided, to just go off instinct, and purchased a magazine in the schools bookstore during a break from class. Followed by meeting a friend in the Cafeteria and doing some browsing through the magazine, I asked which design he found most attractive of three I personally liked. He chose something that I saw potential in, and decided to run with. I decided to try and include something of the process of the making of the clothing, by introducing the hand flair the designer (Thakoon Panichgul) had incorporated into this particular dress, and created a flagship store around this singular shape and style. I have an even longer story to this particular design. Including the use of the shape to create custom furnishings and display racks, as well as columns, and fitting rooms. And a color scheme so minimalistic to draw your eyes even further to the design details. I have so much more in this project, perhaps one ambitious day, I will post all the information on the project.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-5628338341815219172008-07-07T22:35:00.005-04:002008-07-07T22:52:54.727-04:00An artsy craftsy adventure....Todays art adventure, included making my own canned product...<br />I found a site, using Stumble! that showed how to make cans more gift-like. So here they are....a gift can. Inside are Peanut Butter M&M's or Regular M&M's depending on who which can is for. I think they are cute and a nice gift, that clearly took time to make (not to mention money? I didn't expect it to cost as much as it did, but since I didn't have the cans I had to buy canned fruit, and empty the cans-without wasting the fruit- and I also had to purchase special glue to re-glue the metal on the bottom, luckily my grandmother had the special can opener, which would have added up to $21...) But, they turned out nice, and I can't wait to see the faces of the people who will receive them!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgya80yPLHuwbV9PDS0fplKtVulptMUcYuhJ7BoQjn6bacPCi9ufGCyRXS2KVZNVSie8BUEd8E2KOb1M8Xb-ePFpFXDBNRb4_PYIiSHYB11FvNmqTJDu3g7IB9OaioCgUb7b_4QyGdptW4/s1600-h/100_0772.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgya80yPLHuwbV9PDS0fplKtVulptMUcYuhJ7BoQjn6bacPCi9ufGCyRXS2KVZNVSie8BUEd8E2KOb1M8Xb-ePFpFXDBNRb4_PYIiSHYB11FvNmqTJDu3g7IB9OaioCgUb7b_4QyGdptW4/s320/100_0772.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220468461122468914" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMNKX2xcS-sk2sZqozsWcHmw8i7qFMNUIKSVWgBBnE_qx4-UhvcdsM8R4SfGezRtzLJC3DQPUOXDSwC4su_HPNJNlQaLkks71r14wXa2gWvIHqEreoVCfXdcaCiaT1krR4Jmj6j4UJEXQ/s1600-h/100_0776.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMNKX2xcS-sk2sZqozsWcHmw8i7qFMNUIKSVWgBBnE_qx4-UhvcdsM8R4SfGezRtzLJC3DQPUOXDSwC4su_HPNJNlQaLkks71r14wXa2gWvIHqEreoVCfXdcaCiaT1krR4Jmj6j4UJEXQ/s320/100_0776.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220469802908660642" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg88iFYRAZ3IsQLUXV4aIJmWsdISZxk3e64nOP-O4T5DQbigNaq5bcwrviMZ-JGwazmnHdqSPKscJLr5FiW2WXNV5rPohPk8tkXKD6LvXIyE19Kph9VtKO-Lii6blZX_oMBWe5hifk8x8s/s1600-h/100_0778.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg88iFYRAZ3IsQLUXV4aIJmWsdISZxk3e64nOP-O4T5DQbigNaq5bcwrviMZ-JGwazmnHdqSPKscJLr5FiW2WXNV5rPohPk8tkXKD6LvXIyE19Kph9VtKO-Lii6blZX_oMBWe5hifk8x8s/s320/100_0778.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220468668691669266" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIilDzX_fdONtG0BPORAWFXsIDBWP0AlpFR1sXMsIZogT4yzpIs-Z3OhAp-NoHDV7fY05GS1tcFbwVSQ-H1EhaWhWyzNFBIO0dqCFVEDPXUzXNLEy4PZCTBWPjNra9djVFW6VflBINHiI/s1600-h/100_0774.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIilDzX_fdONtG0BPORAWFXsIDBWP0AlpFR1sXMsIZogT4yzpIs-Z3OhAp-NoHDV7fY05GS1tcFbwVSQ-H1EhaWhWyzNFBIO0dqCFVEDPXUzXNLEy4PZCTBWPjNra9djVFW6VflBINHiI/s320/100_0774.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220469107180867458" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyfKdTNHJnFwN_jmhVU1VcWJ9V2jsNmSNDt1ia8uDbRT6oNpApWzOxhDmpHR3MsRswwDHqqwhZdLexX6wRpJzTyon5LA8IYI1g9SWLOlEZ_UUDWuyBFiPfEno5qB_ZasMqur-Z1FyIoNg/s1600-h/100_0775.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyfKdTNHJnFwN_jmhVU1VcWJ9V2jsNmSNDt1ia8uDbRT6oNpApWzOxhDmpHR3MsRswwDHqqwhZdLexX6wRpJzTyon5LA8IYI1g9SWLOlEZ_UUDWuyBFiPfEno5qB_ZasMqur-Z1FyIoNg/s320/100_0775.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220469553192672946" border="0" /></a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-89159529254800478602008-07-07T10:41:00.002-04:002008-07-07T10:52:25.996-04:00Interior Design, Hotel Riot...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZb3ew2I8ivBW_i8chV1IH0hdG5DZxwaj28li8JFfwi1C-qLQ5g1G3h8rNPt4Fgq8DCftPILxQMbXSRYPOai0Fr0A8CoiKqwf2soJAReJGqAbv6n-UTcVcuS2CGUuCvnPtDach5IcWjvk/s1600-h/100_8587.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZb3ew2I8ivBW_i8chV1IH0hdG5DZxwaj28li8JFfwi1C-qLQ5g1G3h8rNPt4Fgq8DCftPILxQMbXSRYPOai0Fr0A8CoiKqwf2soJAReJGqAbv6n-UTcVcuS2CGUuCvnPtDach5IcWjvk/s320/100_8587.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220282456467624802" border="0" /></a><br />Here's a sample of some work from first semester, sophomore year at the College for Creative Studies. The project was to create a hotel for the city of Detroit, to attract new tourism to the city. My idea was to bring in elements the city already has, and maintain them in a positive manner, while introducing a few new ideas. The hotel features an indoor skate park, a concert hall, graffiti which guests would be allowed to be part of in specific areas, an artist gallery for showings of new works from local artists, a hookah bar, and cafe au bon pain. It was inspired by the Detroit Riots, and I wanted to take the idea of the movements and energy and refresh them into a more positive manner instead of violence. And, seeing as most see graffiti as vandalism and then link to violence, I thought it would be a nice way to introduce graffiti as an outlet, and something that is not necessarily violent, it can also be seen as art. I thought the energy of the skate park would create a movement, and understanding for further positive energy, following the idea that the exercise you get from the actually skateboarding releases endorphines leading to happier guests, and also introducing the "Zen Zone" with the Hookah bar, Gallery, and Cafe where guests can go and relax.<br /><br />I have two binders of information, and countless ideas that could go further with this idea, so if you have any questions, send me an email.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13360832280624684281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770354225315279105.post-80748012081548422262008-07-07T10:39:00.001-04:002008-07-07T10:40:35.249-04:00Just for some fun....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0lhP9mQrpbj7hSbcrittDrRF96znxNTS3VoxMKgHrQWlF1bk3dzEZhDIIs8lIeGM4DRogpcCp9XMRgSsSwzIaTdoOIuHTDuZxgP5ZgL9mpCSZVVLXQzi19r1S-Eoum0ziHNKRAVFfuVI/s1600-h/Mousie.....gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0lhP9mQrpbj7hSbcrittDrRF96znxNTS3VoxMKgHrQWlF1bk3dzEZhDIIs8lIeGM4DRogpcCp9XMRgSsSwzIaTdoOIuHTDuZxgP5ZgL9mpCSZVVLXQzi19r1S-Eoum0ziHNKRAVFfuVI/s320/Mousie.....gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220281891811314578" border="0" /></a><br />I did this last night just for some fun!
