Passionately walking the motivation.

At 9pm I took the time to meditate and think about some calculated desires, notably ones that are most necessary being a University student. I started by walking along the narrow grand union canal path through Leighton Buzzard, my hometown. I walked with the intention of not finding a place to sit but thinking about a really nice location. As nice as the canal is, it was fueled with open fires, barbecues and mostly guitar riffs through a crackling radio. As I continued visualising a variety of relaxing, open locations I navigated toward an open field with two benches and a signpost with a map which quoted 'Peace Meadow'. I laughed and looked up to the sky in the form of a wink to nature. I had never known this place existed in my own town, and I have been around. 

After choosing a nice spot next to one of the chunky, Swedish looking wooden benches I decided to start by simply closing my eyes and imagining the interior of an aircraft interior I am designing. As I panned, orbited and zoomed around this interior in my mind I started to create some ideas. The first idea was incorporating the notion of a soft, perhaps maple finished floor whereby passengers would be politely asked to take their shoes off. This idea was firstly relevant toward my design as it is an Apple (company) theoretical design, and this fits in well with the brand values of such cleanliness and minimalism. This idea would also enable a lighter colour scheme which would expand the perception of floor space, increasing comfort psychologically. 

Another visualisation was of another ongoing project, my Final Major Project! (the big one). I currently have created 9 Photoshop research analysis boards which contain some detail and pretty pictures. I imagined scrolling down this page, uncovering more and more boards. At least 15-20. This would be a tough task, as I have already spent much energy on this file. I went back into the augmented interior design and coninuously flooded my mind with smooth rectangular lights along the side of the interior and glass panels exposing the sky above the the exterior of the plane.  However the tasks may pan out, I was full of joy when imaging these images (some moving) especially with the Law of Attraction in mind!

These are attainable tasks with some good old fashioned graft. I am going to consciously, repeatedly imagine completing these tasks before and after working on them and post the results in a future blog. 

Peace and Love!
