Sherwin Williams Stir Competition

During The design process for the re-use of the Pullman Depot, I made a poster to submit for the Sherwin Williams Stir Competition. I drew three perspective drawings, and rendered them in the Sherwin Williams colors I had chosen for the space. This was a fun learning experience because in reality this is what we will be doing. We need to know not only how to combine colors to form a pleasing palette, but we must be able to represent them accurately in our drawings and renderings.

The colors I chose are taken from the artist I used for gallery inspiration. I used the Chip-it tool from Sherwin Williams to accurately match the colors in her artwork to Sherwin Williams paint colors. This builds on the theories of special organization I  have been learning all semester. I am also building on the skills of selecting appropriate finishes for furnishings  and materials  for this setting, and for ADA and Universal Design compliance.


The poster was also a good reason to practice graphic presentation skills. I like the way my poster is coming along and feel more comfortable with the process and outcome each time I do a graphic representation of this kind.
