Project 4 29/06/2020- 03/07/ 2020
This week I designed some details: 1. I designed the LOGO about the cafe, it will become the representative of the entire cafe, so it needs to reflect the two themes of the cafe, so I will iceberg and cyberpunk Combined to form the following two conceptual pictures. 2. We made some killer images that will be used in the design report, and they will well represent our design. 3. Through Lucy's suggestion, I also planned the clothing of the staff of the cafe. Because in the cyberpunk theme, the entire cafe will turn off most of the lights, the atmosphere will be dim, so the staff's clothing I hope Clothes that can use this LED light, they are like some stickman in the dark, very interesting

The overall design of the cafe is inspired by cyberpunk's online pictures. Those pictures about cyberpunk are always full of colorful neon lights, which may be the embodiment of a society with excessive information expansion. In the last week's experiment, I made a new cafe model. In order to reflect the atmosphere of information explosion, I tried to put advertising logos of various colors into the scene, and wanted to decorate the entire space with their own colors. , But the effect is very bad, because the color of each advertisement is very bright, which makes the color of the entire space very chaotic. Although chaos is also one of the definitions of cyberpunk, we need to grasp a balance. So in the end I gave up the plan and restarted the design and partitioned the space
This time I referred to some exhibition hall designs, and I tried to design our facilities with the simplest square. For example, for a sofa, the frame of the entire sofa is very simple. There is even an iron shelf, and there is neon light tied to the iron, so that there is only a light line in the darkness, which is very interesting. I tried to use a cuboid frame to represent tall buildings, and irregular polygons to design cloud lights. In the end, I put them in lumion to render, and the effect was not bad.

This week I started the preliminary planning for my cafe. After confirming the location, I found that it was a relatively long space. The whole was like a rectangle, one side was completely open, and the other three sides were closed, like a box. First of all, I did some research on other punk style cafes and found that they use pink and cyan lights most. This cool color light is very bright, and the contrast is also very large, which can catch people's attention. Secondly, create a cyberpunk atmosphere in the future. The environment needs to be darker, which can show a little mystery.
On the other hand, the other two students in my group started the design of the external space, and began to try to use Unity. We are all using this software for the first time. Everything is unknown. Although it is difficult, but after the efforts of 3 people Still slowly master the method, and ready to start making videos.

This week I started a new research glitch art. This particular style is a bit similar to cyberpunk, they come from some "accidents" in life, such as mechanical failure, TV screen distortion, and messy images. These mistakes were first discovered by some artists, who discovered different aesthetics in these failures. For example, in the TV shown below, the artist placed a large magnet on this old TV, which caused the TV screen to malfunction, display a weird image, and have distorted colors. This is very interesting, like the information from aliens, mysterious and strange.
In the research process, I found that this may be brought into our design, because the style and color of this faulty art are very similar to cyberpunk, which can make our works more abundant.

This week we ushered in our first review. We combined all the work of the three people in our group and showed them to other students. First of all, we showed the threats brought by sea level rise and the data of sea level rise in recent years. Second, we planned the work afterwards and organized the videos that we will need to do later. In this review, I explain After understanding the definition of cyberpunk and showing the appearance of cyberpunk in some cartoonists and movies, many students are also attracted to this fantasy style like me. Then I showed the research about the lamp I did this week, and did an experiment about the neon lamp, and finally showed the renderings.
About this neon experiment: we set the neon in the space for the first time, and tried to make a punk atmosphere, but since we have not studied the combination of light color and brightness test, this time the effect is not as good as expected, but Is a good start

This week we determined the specific location of our project, a rectangular space next to the barbican centre cinema and an outdoor cafe space. We decided to make an exhibition hall and a coffee shop, and to design with the theme of "submerged city". My plan is to design a cyberpunk cafe bar. Since cyberpunk is a not-so-friendly future, such a society is full of contradictions and struggles, as well as a bad environment and a turbulent society. Therefore, we want to attract audiences and warn people through these cyberpunk designs, so that people pay attention to protecting the environment.
Secondly, in my research, I found that the cyberpunk style is very special in the use of lights. They are mainly based on cool colors, so I plan to do an in-depth study of the lights, which will be the key to the punk atmosphere.

Since the preliminary manuscript of the paper will be submitted this week, the work of the group is temporarily suspended. We have only done some research on the exhibition hall. We have found many exhibition halls designed by famous designers on the Internet. We have also learned a lot about the environment. The inspiration about the atmosphere.
Regarding the preliminary manuscript of the thesis, my thesis mainly studies the style of cyberpunk, which is a magical style from science fiction and movies, and it represents a story of resistance to oppression. There are often dystopian stories in cyberpunk, and because it is the future world, the gorgeous lights and complex mechanical sense are very fascinating to me, so I want to learn what is cyberpunk through this paper. And apply it to your own projects.
