Hip Hop Memorabilia Store : the OG

This is our final project for the semester, we are to design and build a model of our music memorabilia shop. The twist is that we are given the style for our shop. I got futuristic. Futuristic Hip Hop shop. We had this project for almost over two months. We had to include all the other elements such as our Rhythm Wall and Playlist into our shop. This project was exceptionally hard for me because it was for me to get the right look to mix both futuristic and hip hop. I had to go through many changes to get to the final out come.

But sadly on the day on our review i did not have enough time to finish off my board and part of my model.
 Here is my progress development

Assignment 3: The Playlist

The Playlist is a project where we have to build and design our own music sampling booth. In this booth the customers are allowed to listen to short sample of the songs or albums that they want to buy or are considering of buying.

For my booth design i took after the game Tetris. I took a bunch of cubes and joined them together. The reason i picked Tetris is because in Hip Hop there are a lot of rigid dances moves and other elements. Many hiphop inspired building take after the graffiti or dancing element.

In my booth there are two sections where people can enter and watch or listen to their chosen song or album. In the first room they can either choose to stand up or sit down. The back wall of the booth can double as a small bench when pulled down. In the second room, customers have to sit o the ground and lean back to be able to see the screen.






Assignment 2 : Rhythm Wall

For this assignment, we were told to pick 3 keywords that explains our given genre and also 3 design elements to put on to our wall. Our design has to portray our genres clearly and not only that the wall has to be all white.

The 3 main keyword I chose to use to incorporate to the wall is :
1. Dance
2. Graffiti
3. Battle

And as for the 3 design elements I chose :
1.  Point
2. Lines
3. Tonal value

On my wall I used the wire to represent the look of sound waves that have been morphed to look like people are break dancing. Other than that, that structure also represents graffiti and art. The feel of the paint splats. At the bottom of the wall I did a series of layers of random waves. This is to represent the how hip hop is freestyled. Lastly my tag line is ' living vibrations '   Hip hop is a very lively music genre. Up to this date many people still listen to hip hop and is incorporated everywhere we go. Living vibrations means to live in the moment, with all the different sounds and vibrations that we get around us.

This is my Rhythm Wall

Interior Design Projects : Hip Hop Infographic Board

This semester, the theme for this class the entire semester is music. Our designs has to reflect the certain genre that was given to us by our lecturers. The first project for this semester is an infographic board.

We were divided into groups according to the genre that we were given. I was given Hip Hop along with 4 other girls, Celine, Olivia, Chloe and Zhi Ying. We were given a week to come up with a rough sketch of how our boards will look like and the type of information that we will put onto it. Immediately my group divided our work and search for the needed information.

Hip Hop was mainly started by the African Americans who lived in Bronx, New York City. Hip Hop is used to express feeling not only through music but rap and graffiti as well. The 4 major elements of hip hop is Emceeing, Graffiti, Dance and Rapping.

After showing the lecturers our ideas, we started work straight away. My part in the board was to do the title head in graffiti and to draw out the evolution of hip hop fashion through out the years.
With this i learnt that doing graffiti is not as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of time and patience to get the alphabets looking right.
