| DESIGN NAME: Birds of Steel PRIMARY FUNCTION: Multifunctional Panel INSPIRATION: I wanted to create energy and movement within my design. I had seen a lot of laser cut work in the past and it seem to lack any energy. I also liked the challenge of making the parts of the illustration link up to hold the whole piece together... without this link the metal would simply fall apart UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Combining positive and negative shapes cutout to create form and movement, excitement and discovery within an otherwise dormant piece of steel. Each panel links to the next by movement. The first panel is a representation of Cathedral Cove in New Zealand, the large area of cutout represents the entrance of the cave looking out. The last panel represents Mt Cook in New Zealand, the mountain shape seemingly mirroring the shape of the cutout in the first panel creating a balance between the three. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: These panels can be backlit or they can be part of a fence structure, allowing sunlight to pass through, or the can be applied to buildings or as part of the decoration on an object. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project began in June 2018 and finished in August 2018. This design is a series developed for a company to market. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: These designs were originally hand drawn and then woven together and finessed in Adobe Illustrator. My designs were then sent the laser cutting company to be cut out of steel, aluminium and any other products clients preferred SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 1.2m wide x Depth 1.8m TAGS: Lasercut, illustration, New Zealand, Native Birds, NZ scenery RESEARCH ABSTRACT: My client asked me to design a series of screens that represented and celebrated New Zealand birds in their natural habitat. I wanted movement and energy as part of my design so I set about studying the flight/wing movement of the birds by watching you tube videos and snapshots of these birds diving into water to catch fish, gliding over mountains and rocky plains. The kiwi bird was the challenge as it doesn't really move fast and tends to hide in native forests so I chose to make it 'invisible' CHALLENGE: Making sure all the elements linked together so that when it was laser cut the detailing held together. For example, if there was and eye detailing in the on a bird's head, it needed a part of the design to connect it together.
