Tom's Portfolio Path: Kerkythea Wartime Picture Theatre

the guy behind the blog..

I am a college student currently studying a BTEC National Diploma at Level 3 in Art & 3D Design. When I chose my GCSE's i hadn't a clue what I wanted to be. I just took the ones I liked the look of. This consisted of Maths, English, Science, ICT, Geography, Resistant Materials and German, that's including the compulsory subjects. I passed them all, and gained a healthy range of grades of qualification.

First of all, i'm not an artist.. But I do like to experiment with all the different media's and materials I can when I am designing. I'm a sucker for a new pack of pencils and even find pleasure from a pristine shaped rubber, I could say i'm quite a perfectionist but when it comes down to designing, I am not afraid to get stuck in and learn from mistakes.

When i started my college course we had a rule.. We had to draw in pen. We were taught to hate the rubber, and told that in design there are no mistakes, within reason..

Kerkythea Wartime Picture Theatre

Inspiration - Glass Mood Board

To show off my beginner skills using CAD programs I had to design and create an architectural model using the computer. Firstly i created a moodboard full of a few images that were to inspire my design. Glass was the main feature material I chose and that helped me decide that i wanted to insert a glass structure into something that is already standing.
