Border, Bubbles, and Logo

Today I had soooooo many issues with the computer. Sometimes its so frustrating how much we rely on computers and technology to make it through the day. I didnt get much done today due to this but i did get my bubble diagram, my logo and name for the store (Page by Page) and my border laid out on the page. This project we are only doing 2 18" x 24" sheets so its going to be a challenge to get everything on there.

Project 3


The Project:

You are required to program and design for a retail business establishment at 1019 State Street, Bowling Green, KY. The 100 year old building is located in the commercial downtown historic district and falls under the rules and regulations of the design review for local historic districts. You are allowed to redesign the interiors with the exception of removing exterior windows, historic doors and the press tin ceiling and cove. The front awning can be replaced

according to the HPB guidelines.


So we've gotten our new project, to design a retail establishment in an existing historical building downtown on state street. My design will be of a new and used bookstore and cafe which i think will add a nice touch to the square downtown. So far i have done a bit of research as well as space planning to try and figure out how to design the building.

Here is my inspiration photos:

Finished!

So I "finished" my project but i wasnt able to render. I moved over the past weekend from my old apartment to my new townhouse and between that and working about 30 hours every weekend, it was hard for me to stay caught up with everything else and studio too. Anyway, I did get my drawings and everything into 3d, they just arent rendered. Guess thats what i'll be doing in portfolio!

Finishes

I've finally picked out all the finishes for my design and put in all the legends and schedules as well as put together the furniture finishes page. I've also started to put together my 3d drawings and I'm unsure if i'll have time to render them before the project is due.
