Exploring sketch up! - Exhibition design

I have began to build up the design for my exhibition design in google sketch up.

 I originally designed a basic transparent circle but have now developed a structure that the outer walls can be held up by. I have also designed the lightening within the stand , this is based upon the shapes within the cancer cells.

I have also began to render the sketch up images using different rendering programmes. Below are a series of examples rendered using 'Indigo' for mac. I am still not entirely happy with the overall position of the lightning and I am still experimenting with getting this at the right angle.

Easter bonnets!!

As well as being a full time BA student, I am also a mum to a 3 year old little girl.

 My daughter attends nursery most days and as she is now in the pre school class, the annual easter bonnet competition was announced for the start of the easter holidays.

Well obviously being a design student - I thought I have to do myself justice, out came the glitter , glue gun and a few fairy lights and we both set to work.

 I bet you have never seen a easter bonnet that lights up before! haha! Although we didn't win :( , both the staff and children in my daughter class were thrilled with our bonnet.
