As concept design began, I found an object that in some way that had elements of design from the Baroque Period of Design. I chose a shell because of the curved lines and the domed shape of the cap.Then I proceeded to realistic drawings of my "found" object, which I did in graphite. I enjoyed doing these sketches, and felt that they were good representations of the shell that I began with. I always feel comfortable using graphite and thought that the shading and detail of the sketches was good.
The next step in my design process was to do thumbnail sketches to abstract the realistic images. I was purely looking at the elements and principles of design. Things that came to my mind, were radial symmetry, texture,curved line,rhythm and form, among others. While I enjoyed the abstractions, and have learned so much from doing them, now I look back, and see other directions that I might have explored.
