Initial Idea generation (Crazy Eights)

In the third lesson, I had to develop my ideas from the second lesson by quickly sketching out 8 ideas within 16 minutes. It is called the crazy eights. 

I drew my ideas based on the Bauhaus theme. I tried to use simple shapes and combining them to create forms for the interior. For example, three circles stacked on top of each other, and then I would stylize it to create a specific shape, like a ceiling light.

Next, I presented my ideas to my friends and together we chose the two most impressive ideas. Then I had to attach them to another paper, which was folded into four sections to develop my idea. First, I chose the idea of ​​a round bed. I took the idea from circles put together and then stylized them to make a bed.

Then I had another 8 minutes to develop my ideas from the original idea. At first, I was quite confused because I couldn't think about any further improvements, so I drew the front view of the bed. Next, I decided to develop the bedside shelf by extending the legs as the image to widen the bed. Next, I wanted to improve the footboard by increasing the contact area of ​​the top surface with the bed and gradually decreasing it when it touches the floor. I think this will make the footboard more stable and stronger. 

The second idea I wanted to develop further was a hammock chair. I also took inspiration from the combination of circles. Firstly, my idea was a hammock chair with two small round tables. However, when I developed it further, I realized it looked like a flower, so I stylized the chair's shape. To make it more stable, I added frames to hold the chair. And finally, I added a big support leg underneath.

However, because this idea seems quite popular, I think I can improve it further by changing some structures of the chair or adding more functions to make it more creative.
