Where am I?

This week was another difficult week, because I am still fighting a flu I caught last week from the drastic change in whether and lack of sleep. So this week I focused on revising my collection based on what people didn’t like about my collection during the midterm presentation. It seems like a lot of people felt that the backrest of my lounge chair didn’t fit with the over form; it felt too controlled, I started to sketch out different shapes of just the backrest. Another comment was that the visual language of the ottoman and lounge chair didn’t connect so I made 2 new models; a lounge chair that speaks more to the ottoman and an ottoman that speaks more towards the lounge. How I am going to move forward from here is to start on a full scale mock up of my collection especially my lounge chair, If that is the direction I want to go towards then I will have to work out the details and maybe then answers will come to be as how things should be changed.
