Week 8 Site specific: Tyra Logan

 








I visited Irvine Spectrum for this week's blog. In the first picture it shows the overall environment of the shopping mall. The mall is decorated with Christmas decor with lights that illuminate the long walkway with access to all of the stores and restaurants. I think the designers were trying to achieve bringing the holiday spirit which would make people want to buy things for the holiday season. Also, having additional lighting makes the mall more inviting and family friendly for people to want to spend a lot of time in the area. 

The second image is of a restaurant in the spectrum. The overall theme was dimmed warm tone lighting. I think this restaurant was trying to go for an intimate cozy feeling but I think using the light in this way failed. The intensity of the lighting made it hard to see whats even through the windows. Normally people would look through the windows of a restaurant or store to see if its worth going into. If you are not able to see you are more likely to keep walking and not be compelled to go into the restaurant. 

The third image is of H&M, a clothing store in the spectrum. This store has bright clear lighting making the store have a welcoming feeling. I was compelled to go into this store because I do not have to make effort into trying to see what the store has. The intensity of the lighting made it easy to see what type pf clothing they had and what the prices are for these items.

    Nice post. I enjoyed your observances of each area and emphasizing what you thought the designers were trying to do vs. what they did. Nice work!

Week 10 - Ashley

This picture is from my piece, Reverberant Skin, in New Slate. I love the way the colors in this piece ended up looking on stage. I gave the color palette of light blues, purples and greys to the costume designer and Hayden, my lighting designer ended up using those same colors throughout the piece. This shot captures the lavender color of the lighting highlighting the dancer's bodies and costumes. I think the side lighting allows for the audience to see the movement of the clothing which emphasizes the movement of the dancers.

Week 1/ Sabrina Huang/ ClubJete

  I took this picture on my phone last month for my first choreographers debut at ClubJete. This picture reflects my perspective of the club when I first walked in. I walked into the club feeling very excited, being a newly 21 year old as well this was my first "club" experience. The experience was even cooler for me while it was a space full of very talented dancers and choreographers. I took out my phone very quickly to take a picture of the cool lighting. The club looked really fascinating to me, I liked the different contrasts with the purple, pink and blue. As well as, the reflections from the disco balls and strips of led on the ceiling!

Week 2, Kaylee Kollins, Tokyo Nights

 For week 1, I have chosen a photo I took this summer, in the streets of Tokyo in the night time. I spend most of my summers here, so looking back at this photo gives me a sense of nostalgia, happiness, and warmth. My favorite part of this photo is that although my iPhone camera quality is not great, it captures the light rays of the street light going in many different directions. The light splitting off in different directions yet remaining symmetrical to me is an art within itself. Another thing that sticks out to me is how the vending machine light glows in this photo. There is nothing more comforting than walking the streets of Tokyo at night and having a vending machine light glare at you in the distance. To me, this photo exudes peace and serenity, as I feel very comfortable walking these streets at night in the town I grew up in, but I cannot say the same about walking the streets at night in America. Another highlight of light in this photo is the entryway to some people's...
