Inspiration Photography. What is it? If you asked your average person on the street they may say something like it’s all about taking pictures, most of the time to capture something that looks pretty or cool or even pretty cool. Photography can be much more than that though, and to many people it is. The…

This week I have made a significant amount of progress on my photography cabinet. Earlier in the week I was able to go to Home Depot to look for some wood. Unsure of what I exactly wanted, the trip was meant to only serve as a peruse of the wood that I could buy. I…

Top 5 things I want from my project:   The design hits my vintage/minimalist aesthetic While I believe I can make the design hit my aesthetic, I will have to really research the stains I can use for my wood to help fit my aesthetic. There are several examples I have seen online but they…

For my final design project I have decided to go with a photography cabinet that will hold all of my photography equipment. I have chosen this as it will not only offer me a challenge as I have not done woodwork in many years, but will offer me something I will be able to use…

For my main project I have decided to still go with something related to photography as my main aesthetic. Vintage photography, landscape, and surrealism are all options I am currently exploring.

The aesthetic I chose is called oceanpunk., which I also decided to pair with the minimalist aesthetic. Oceanpunk has many defining features and is somewhat of a combination or subset of more popular aesthetics such…

The opposite aesthetic to my project of “ocean punk” would be cyberparadism. While this still follows the “cyberpunk” theme of what my aesthetic is, it mirrors it in its paradise style. Cyberparadism is focused around a post-cyberpunk world, generally showing a utopia that is often compared to a Garden of Eden or the Elysian Fields.…

For my upcycling project, I have decided to create an artistic scene on a scuba tank at the bottom of the ocean representing an oceanpunk aestetic. I chose this aesthetic because I thought I would be able to use very minimal materials, many of which are from everyday items. I also decided to go with…

For my upcycling project I have decided to go with oceanpunk. Why oceanpunk one may ask? Oceanpunk, a subgenre of steampunk, has always fascinated me with its fusion of futuristic elements and the mysterious allure of the deep sea. The combination of technology and marine life creates a visually appealing contrast that sparks the imagination…
