First Process Sketches
For my concept I choose a song by my favorite band Goodnight Sunrise. Their song “Champions of the Weekend” talks about the struggles of being away from home. From this song I choose the lyric, “the roof is caving in and I’m searching for signs of open doors and open skies.” I analyzed this lyric and took out my keywords chaos, safety, and symbols. From there I developed my concept model to try and represent these things. I tried to show chaos in symbols surrounded by safety. This process was very time consuming. I had a lot of early sketches and models that I worked from before I developed my final model. I developed more skills from this process work and being able to analyze something deeper than just it’s surface meaning. My weaknesses of this project was not knowing where to start. I started going the wrong way in my early sketches because I wasn’t fully understanding the lyrics. I wasn’t digging deep enough. My strengths in this project was definitely the model building. When I see something 2D and abstract on paper, I enjoy creating it into a more 3D abstract form. This project was a big step for me. I feel like I understand more on which steps to take to get to the final work.
