Interior Design Project 1 : RYTHM WALL

RHYTHM WALL 

Our next Phase 1 Assignment was to construct a RHYTHM WALL according to our given music genres. In which case mine was Electronic Dance Music .

The Rhythm Wall would have to portray and give a best impression about the music genre itself. We were given freedom to design our future wall. However, we were told that keeping designs to a minimal and abstract looking would be more interesting . As for the materials, we were given enough freedom to use whatever we liked as long as they were white in colour or colourless. However , Ms Norgi did advice us to use minimal materials as we have yet to look into what materials were suitable for which designs.

UNLEASH THE BEAST

Electronic Dance  Music has now become one of the most mainstream music of the generation. It is know that EDM represents up beat music, with high low tempos,fast tracks and repetition.

I was influenced by the movement of the music itself. Whenever I envision EDM , I began to  picture a ball of energy. Pumping , blasting and full of movement. Unleash the Beast , represents the music strongly. It is where in EDM that people lose their self consciousness  and completely surrender themselves to the music.In an abstract way, the strange shape shows how from the center ,the ball of energy slowly becomes a whole, creating its own aura and effects peoples mood .

Interior Design Project 1: Electronic Dance Music Infographic Board

For our first particular assignment, we were all required to work in groups of five.Of course our lectures decided to spice things up by handing out lucky draws to see which category we'd fall into.
There are a few different music genres that were given off such as Soft Rock, Hard Rock, Retro, Reggae and so on. I ended up being placed in Electronic Dance Music and was paired up with Zack, SQ, Wen Wei and Carmen as my group members.


We started of doing in depth research on Electronic Dance Music and what the sub genre's were. We were also lucky enough that Zack was knew more about this topic since he himself is a DJ :p and had help us.

Like any other group,we manage to split the task so everyone would have a part to contribute.
Not only that, we also had bonus materials to support our Infographic Board which was an actual DJ Deck. Courtesy of Zack of course. We had it plugged into our Mac and play different sub genres of EDM. Everyone seemed to have loved it . In fact, it made people more aware of the difference of  EDM a lot better.

All and all my team mates and I had done a fantastic job, we work hard in producing the final outcome :)

Reflection / Comments :

As for the criticism from our lecturers , we were told that we had so far grasped the idea of what and info board really is and that we had implemeted and translated most of our finding into pictures and images rather then to write them out. However, Ms Shaa and Ms Norji found that it was too "much". In a sense, they mentioned that there were to many elements going on such as the shapes. We had circles , rectangles, triangles and others that it was getting a bit scattered. In the end, I do agree that perhaps keeping within a specific "theme" would have been a lot better. But whats done is done and shall I make the most of what I've learnt.
