The first step of this project was to choose a children's book that would be the inspiration. Immediately I thought of all the endless books that were favorites of mine when I was a child. By far, the Dr. Seuss books were my favorites, inspiring the design through the book, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. The keywords are rhythm, contrast and whimsical. Teal, red and yellow are the main colors, inspired by the book. In application of the room, rhythm was created with the vertical lines seen in the design of the furniture. Contrast was created in shape (square vs circular) and color (teal, red & yellow). Whimsical is applied in the child-like and carefree quality of design. If I did this again I would spend more time on the presentation board. I did not plan well enough as to how the floorplan, drawings etc would fit. Therefore I fill the board is a bit crowded. It is also harder to see the shape that is my board- which is a camel (from the inspiration image). Contrary to some belief, it is not a caterpillar ;) Overall I really like my design and feel it is able to transition with the twins as they get older.
