Shadow & Shade

CAD Development

After decideing on the design direction and creating a full-scale model by hand, I moved onto CAD drawing. I also considered how to attach the shade to the frame and how to refine the pattern produced by the shade. At this point in my design process, the Napier University workshop was operating on a click-and-collect …

Finding Direction

After making multiple models, sketching, and taking a creative break, I came back to this project with a refreshed view. I combined my previous experiments together and started to think about how the frame could contribute to the design in two ways: first by actin as a support for the shade and second by affecting …

Multiple Models

After my initial experiments with basic card and cut or crumpled paper, I began to experiment with more structured shade models. I attempted to combine what I had observed from my initial experiments into a single shade. I aimed layer paper and combine it with crumpled tissue paper to to create a shade that produced …

Initial Experiments

I started the process of producing patterns of shadow and shade by experimenting with different materials. Working with white paper and card, I held these materials up to different light sources to observe the effects. Initially, the bulb did not produce any shadow patterns as the bulb I used was very bright. Even in with …
