Design Thesis Biography: Danielle Netter
Design is everywhere. Whether it’s a plan or sketch to show the structure of a building or object; or simply the different perspectives of detailed drawings. This magazine introduces design from a whole new perspective. No more are we taking pictures head on but this magazine strives to think outside of the box and take pictures from the ground to the ceiling. Taking pictures from different points of view gives you a whole different outlook on the space. While new principles and elements are reviled our design imaginations are broadened.
• Why do I love design?
Simple, because no matter
how many times you
design something
somehow it always turns
out different. Like
rearranging and painting
your room. No matter how
many moves or different
sets of colors you use no
one arrangement will be
the same. The best part of
design for me is the
creativity part of the
process. I am known for
thinking of the things that
not many people would
think possible and turning
it into a work of art. I'm
convince that there is a
tiny part of my brain
always looking for new
ways to recreate
something.
For example two years ago my
dad was convinced that we
needed to move because we
had no more room for a extra
space where everyone could
hangout. I suggested that we
nock out the downstairs
basement wall and connect it
to the garage and remodel it
into a den. With that we saved
a ton of money and used space
that we didn’t think we had,
and I got to have a fantastic
experience while I was at it.
Horizontal lines in interior design are used
to create a since of calm and rest. In this
picture the designer used horizontal lines
for the roof, which normally would make
this house a modern design; create a calm
environment.
Vertical Lines in builds create stability,
performance, and solidity. In this photo
the vertical lines gives the structure a solid feeling.
Curved lines in design usually give the viewer
a since of softness and light heartiness of the
structure. In these two pictures taken at a
hotel in Disney the top of the building is curved slightly.
In this building the designer
used tightly curved lines to
create waves in their building.
Not only did the designer curve
the walls, but the windows too.
IMPLIED TEXTURE
NON-REFLECTIVE TEXTURE
This building is classified under reflective texture
because it is made of glass, creating a smooth fine
texture. This building would also be good for visual
texture since you can tell from the photo that there is
indeed a texture of some sort.
The lighting
fixtures in the two
photos below help
to not only
illuminate the
room but adds the
expression of
human skill and
imagination.
Task lighting
Task lighting is lighting directed to a
specific area to provide illumination of the
area below. In this image the task lighting
is illuminating the bar underneath it.
Track lighting
Track lighting is
flexible ceiling-
mounted fixtures
holding spotlights or
floodlights mounted
anywhere at any
position on a fixed
track. Track lighting
is used when the
designer wants to
illuminate a certain
structure or in this
case a wall.
Soffit Lighting
Soffit lighting is lighting that is in the
inside of any over hanging structures.
Soffit lights are usually known for
reflecting their light off of walls or the
rooms underneath them. In this room
the soffit light is above and reflecting a
blue hue onto the walls and furniture.
Natural light is a
lighting source that
comes from the
sun. Normally
natural light comes
in through a
window. In these
two pictures I’m
showing the natural
light coming in
through the
windows and how
they light the room.
Colored Lighting
The colored
light fixture
illuminated a
colored effect
on the table.
The colored
lighting
fixture
combines
perfectly with
the
background in
the setting.
COMBUSTION
The word combustion means the act
or process of burning, so combustion
lighting is lighting that is burning. In
this picture you have a fire which is
combustion lighting.
Floor lighting
Floor lighting is used to bring light to the bottom of
the room and to have it reflect up and over other
objects in the room. In this image the abstract light
fixtures reflect onto the bottom of the floor.
Table Lamps
These two table
lamps are used to
produce general
lighting in the
work space and
also give the room
more of a stylish
fashion.
Monochromatic
Analogous
Direct complementary
Triad Complementary
Double Complementary
Monochromatic Color Scheme
ANALOGOUS COLOR SCHEME
An analogous
color scheme is a
few colors on the
color wheel joined
together used in a
work of art. In
this interior
picture in Disney
world the glass
wall uses red,
orange, yellow-
orange and yellow
in it to create a
analogous color
scheme.
A Direct complementary color scheme
is when someone uses colors directly
across each other on the color wheel.
In this picture the designer used red
and green as their complementary
color scheme .
TRIAD COMPLEMENTARY COLOR SCHEME
A triad
complementary
color scheme is
a scheme that
has three colors
of equal length
across the color
wheel.
In this image the
designer used
red, blue and
yellow creating a
triad
complementary
color scheme.
DOUBLE COMPLEMENTARY
Double complementary color scheme is
shown in this photo by the four different colors used in the bedroom.
Positive space
Negative Space
Crowding
Territoriality
The positive space in a
picture is the space that is
occupied by a element or
form. In this picture the
positive space is the arch.
NEGATIVE SPACE
The negative space in a picture
is the space in between and
around the object. In this image
the space under the arch and the
space around the arch is the
negative space.
CROWDING
The designer created crowding by
putting to many things in one space.
The tables are so close together that
they don’t give the people any room to
navigate.
TERRITORAL SPACE
Territorial space is basically a room that
has been personalized. In this room the
bedroom has a purple and blue color
scheme. Purple and blue sheet sets, blue
and white carpet, and light purple walls.
SHAPE
Abstract
Geometric
Natural/Organic
Dynamic
ABSTRACT SHAPE
Abstract art is art
without any rhyme or
rhythm, it isn’t precise
and is often difficult to
understand. In these
to pictures of interiors
in a restaurant the
walls have abstract art
on them.
Geometric shape A geometric
shape has form
and a distinct
mold. In these
two pictures
taken at the
boardwalk in
Myrtle beach
their IMAX movie
theater is made
out of geometric
shapes.
NATURAL/ORGANIC SHAPE
Natural/Organic shapes are everywhere,
the most common ones that you wouldn’t
notice is the graffiti on buildings. On this
building at Myrtle Beach there is Palm
trees drawn on the side of the buildings.
DYMAMIC SHAPE
Dynamic Shapes are shapes that
appear to be moving and active. In this
image by Frank Gehry, he created this
building in motion and gave it an
active feel to it.
Geometric
Natural
Abstract
Non-objective
GEOMETRIC
A
Geometric
form is any
geometric
shape that
has depth
to it. In this
image of
the
universal
sign is in
the shape
of a 3
dimensional sphere.
NATURAL FORM
In designing buildings each
designer has a inspiration, in
these buildings the inspiration is
water/the sea. Which means that
their buildings are a natural form.
ABSTRACT FORM
Abstract form is a group of objects
organized to relate to each other
through repetition and variation. In
this picture the designer sits his
abstract building across from
normal buildings to show the
difference, emphasizing his use of
objects through repetition and
variation.
NON OBECTIVE FORM
A non-objective form is a form that doesn’t mimic or
replicate anything in the art word. Non-objective form
has no rhyme or rhythm. In this picture the table flower plant is a objective form.
Principles of
Design
BALANCE
Visual Symmetry
Structural Symmetry
Visual Asymmetry
Visual Radial Symmetry
Structural Radial
Symmetry
Visual Symmetry
This structure visually represents
symmetry because if you divided it
down the middle both sides would be
equal, and the patter would also be
identical.
Structural Symmetry
Structural symmetry is easily able to
be determined; a building is
symmetrical if it can be divided equally
into two different forms. The photo
above clearly has structural symmetry.
Visual Asymmetry
Asymmetry is a placement of non-identical
forms placed on different sides of the building
but in a way that both sides seem to have the
same visual weight. In this picture of a hotel in
Myrtle Beach visual asymmetry is shown.
Visual Radial Symmetry
Radial symmetry refers
to symmetry that is not
only symmetrical
horizontally it is equally
symmetrical in a 360
radius. This picture of
the swings at the fair
represent radial
symmetry by having the
same pattern all the way
around and having a
central point that can be
divided equally.
SYMMETRY
Symmetry is an exact
configuration of form
and balance that
gives the structure an
even weight on both
sides. If you were to
divide these two
images straight down
the middle you would
give two perfectly even
parts.
HARMONY
Unity through line
Unity through shape
Unity through repetition
Variety through Color
Variety through Materials
Unity through line
In this image the designer used lots of horizontal lines and
one huge vertical line which creates
repetition throughout the structure. In the second picture the
designer used repetition with the
columns in the room.
VARIETY THROUGH COLOR
These building are
fairly the same
size and
structure, but the
big difference is
that they have
random different
colors. The
different colors in
the images
creates variety
through color.
EMPHASIS
Focal Point- Visual
Focal Point-Structural
Focal Point-Visual
The way this structure
dips at the top , and
the extra light in the
dip automatically
draws your eye to the
top of the building,
creating a focal point.
Focal Point Structural
A lot of things about this structure gives you the focal
point at the top of the structure, one being how the
architect layered the shapes making them get smaller and
less square the higher they went up. Two, the base
lighting at the bottom of each little layer is also leading
you to the top of the structure . Lastly is the clock and
the tip o the structure glowing. In the second image you
have an unusual focal point on the wall where the glass
mirrors are reflecting.
Repetitive
Climatic
Contrast
Transitional /Flowing
Repetitive rhythm is rhythm that has shapes and lines repeated in a continuous pattern
creating a since of togetherness and unity. In this structure the design used repetitive
rhythm when designing these apartments.
Climatic Rhythm
Climatic rhythm is rhythm that
leads your eye up. In this photo
taken in New York the designer uses
different style buildings and makes
them smaller as they go up. So this
structure has climatic rhythm.
In this picture the focal point/ emphasis is the
chandelier, and the designer is using contrast to
set it apart from everything else. First , the
designer cut out the ceiling and added lighting to
give contrast , then added an darker circular shape
underneath on the floor.
Transitional/ Flowing Rhythm
Transitional /Flowing
rhythm can give the
interiors a since of
movement/ In these two
pictures the way the
furniture and the
clothes racks are set up
gives the surrounding
space a since of
movement(rhythm).
Object in
proportion
with space
Object NOT
in proportion
with space
The objects in these
two pictures are in
proportion to the size
of the rooms. Even
though the hallway of
the bottom picture
seems large the chairs
and tables are still
perfectly in proportion
with everything else.
In this photo the
proportion of this
tree compared to
the human scale
and the sofas is
excessively large.
This huge
Christmas tree is
not in proportion to
the room around it.
SCALE
Human Scale
Symbolic Scale
Human scale
Human scale is any
item that shows
proportion to the size
of an average human.
In theses to rooms the
chairs, tables and bed
all show that they are
in proportion to the
human body.
SYMBOLIC SCALE
In this picture the blue lighting, hanging
snow flakes and the ginger bread houses
symbolizes that winter is coming.
