Arcade Space

JM 4th Floor Corridor  

JM 414 Room 

JM 404 Room 


The 3 images above are the arcade space for my live project. These have been taken to show an image of before any work has been completed and to show an idea of what I am working with. 




Explored Themes

Researching themes was top of my list, Spider Diagrams were used and brainstorms were completed to be able to come up with a theme. 
The themes we came up with and explored more into were...
Cinematic 
Tweed Run 
Contemporary culture 
British heritage 
Comic book trend 
Rendering Reality 
Vintage 
Hollywood 
Nautical 

All these themes had a impact on the project and was thought in different ways in which could be used to benefit the visual merchandising of the archade space. The theme Nautical was decided on due to having lots of history and fitting in with contemporary culture feel that we are concentrating on.
