Tables
For the tables i wanted table where both people can come together and collaborate with each, sharing each others ideas or knowledge to create something that is beyond of an individuals capacity. Also while they are working with each other i wanted them to look at the waterfall which is a symbol of power in the natural world, to remind them that they have a power similar to the waterfall in the people world.
Elevators
Ive's elevator is very simple, it is this simplicity that gives him so much power in design and his field, the repetition of the apple logo is also very powerful as we see it everywhere in our everyday lives and also inside of this space bridge and elevator. Lady Gaga's elevator is a Queen chess piece which i found wonderful as a symbol of power as it is the most powerful piece on a chess board and also she is known as the "Queen of pop" where her musical influence and image is taking over the world. They are equal in height because i think both are equal in power.
The Bridge + Textures
For the bridge i wanted to make it unique as bot individuals are so they are formed at each others characters at either end's, ie: Ives, simple design. However as they walked towards the centre of the bridge i wanted a space where they can share and fuse their own unique power to create something that is equal within each other so no textures are in the middle of the bridge. On Ives's side the ground of the bridge is laid out with "island keys" somewhat unnoticeable when using a Mac computer but a ingenious design as it is, evidently, very comfortable. Gaga's side is outrageous in one word. the waves of the foots path is the flow of music and the spikes and other details represent her influence of fashion and music. As everyone consumes their products such as the music or ipod it thought that it was the common ground where they share power.
Lady Gaga Space + Textures
For Lady Gaga's space i wanted to create a stage like appearance because it is the stage where she has the most power because the world is looking at her. There is a hole-like opening in the roof because i wanted natural light to shine on her like a spot light would on stage. Most of the shapes that are formed in this space is idealised from her dress where her image and fashion is very noticeable in magazines. The piano is there because she has also a very powerful capability in music. You may have noticed the "b" shape on the wall this is her consumer power as she has her own set of "beats by Dr Dre" earphones which is proving to be very popular these days. Her influential power is undeniable being on the 100 most influential people on the Time Magazine list.
Jonathan Ives Space + Textures
For Jonathan Ives office i wanted to create something that will be an image of his designs, which is simple but also at the same time a very detailed design, this was idealised from the quote "he was obsessed with detail" which came from an article i read. From this simple and detailed power there is the power of design, and from the power of design we consume this design as our everyday way of living such as using iPods or Macbooks. As we consume more and more of these consumer products, they become an influence to the world as it is evident today in this technological society where Apple is rising gaining considerable power where it initially started off with a simple design.
