The colored sketches of sets are very important in terms of representing an actual concept of designer's perception. Unfortunately due to my limited ability to draw and stain on computer programmes such as Photoshop and Illustrator, the following images have been drawn on a piece of paper by pencil and afterwards colored with crayons. Each picture will include a short comment about the solutions taken during the drawing process.
The Stimulation bar
The description of stimulation bar includes- "riot of muted colors'',"simply, soft, ...furnishings", "mahogany table". It is really easy to imagine from that drawing but my Stimulation bar is actually a very dark place based on the concept of stimulation.Two of the opposite walls are painted with soft dark brown and the other two are blue, stimulating an imaginary space into which each "table" is representing a different planet by an inserted in the walls sofas and music sounds. Characters have chosen to sits on the table which actually which stimulates The Earth which matches with the idea of "the low tones of the sea washing up against a beach". The bar is also stimulated of its built in the wall form and the lack of space for bar tenders. There's just a great form of a glass made from lights (one proper solution could be tubes painted with lighting paint because they will look more muted than directly using fluorescent lamps). The floor will illustrate the "riot of muted colors" with moving outlines of psychedelic forms on a brown background. The restricted light coming from the stars and planets on the walls as well as few small lamps on the bar wall will allow these moving objects to bulge as a focus in the hall.
Lucy's Flat
Lucy's flat is a small but arty space due to our group conclusion during the discussions of the project. As you will later see on the set plans, it is a half dome which costs some restrictions in teems of furniture possession. For that reason I decided to mix the presence of a bed, a sofa and a table by adding a convertible sofa and hole on the floor from which a table would come out if possible. On the script there's no process which requires a table in the scenes in Lucy's apartment so it is just an "in case" addition. However, here comes the "arty" part of the set which include the bright sofa color and the futuristic painting on the wall. One of the possible solutions for the painting material is also using fluorescent lamps in order to look enough futuristic.
Jim's Flat
As a comparison to Lucy's, Jim's look quite "grey" and toneless. The used colors are brown and grey. The floor with a very thin flat carpet. The wall are covered by metal tile which can be turned into a window mode. The shape consists of two oval and two straight angles because it's inside of a lot bigger dome and is on the lower floors of it. The size and form of the room allow furniture so I decided to add one commode and a shelf on the angle. The commode isn't actually required because most of the object are screen and 3D projected but at least is a space where the character could put his devices. I've also added a cup on the table to bring a little vitality to the room.
