FMP: GEOMETRIC MINIMALISM

As my all important Final Major Project (FMP) etches closer and closer each day, I find myself pondering over inspiration ideas. I am more than determined to achieve a Distinction and challenge myself in many ways than one, however as I have discovered in my previous projects, I must choose a theme that I am passionately inspired by to maintain a constant flow of ideas throughout my project. Choosing this inspiration has proved to be an impossible task. My current theme of World War One is pushing my talents beyond my comfort zone, as the perfectionist within me strongly disagrees with the torn and burnt fabric in my sketchbook. After recently visiting Manchester on Monday for a convention, I have been massively inspired by architecture. Unfortunately, my first year self, already chose that theme and re-using it would prove to be difficult as I would have to take an entirely different approach, and wouldn't be able to recreate previous sketchbook ideas and designs. Over the past few days, I have been thinking long and hard about alternatives to architecture. I thought about everything that appeals to me and creates a flow of ideas within my head. I am a perfectionist. Monochrome. Straight lines and squares are a recurring theme within my work. I finally concluded with a theme of Geometric Minimalism, giving me the chance to look at both a minimalism colour palette, and geometry to cover both architecture and origami. Today I took to Tumblr, Pinterest and Instagram for visuals, and here are my top picks from today.
