Gifs for 'Stop & Bloom' project

I wish I'd blogged my processes all through this current project- I've had so many ideas and references and directions to look into, it would have been great to have an accessible record of all that here. I'll just have to make this my aim for next year's projects!

But for now, I thought I'd upload the gifs I created as part of my idea development and exploration for my unit 3 interiors/exteriors/spatial brief. I wanted to play with colours and a sense of movement in the patterns I was creating, and the gif format was a fun way to do so. My project is all about bringing colour/imagination/fantasy through floral imagery to the urban environment of the bus stop on my road. For my final outcome I constructed lots of paper flowers, and made them into an installation for the community at the bus stop. I created digital patterns from my photography of these paper flowers, and then used the prints to visualise a pattern render onto the bus shelter as well. 'Stop & Bloom' seems like a good name for my project.... I let my imagination run wild with the simple floral imagery of the flowers I found in the bus stop garden, and tried to create outcomes that would really make people STOP at the bus stop, and smile at the 'blooming' (!) floral installations around them.

So, here are the developmental gifs that I created along the way:
