Concept Development: A. Abstractions to Modules


For this design my inspiration was an old photo that I encountered upon entering the Pufferbelly Depot in Pullman, WA. I instantly knew that this photo would be in inspiration because of the connection I felt to the students in the photo taken so long ago. They were there, together, for an education at Washington State, just as I am today with my peers. The similarities were there but I also loved the apparent time separation. They were dressed in formal attire, I in my usual jeans and t-shirt. From this I took not only the implied movement of the train as well as movement of time (past to present) but also the togetherness that they had as a group of students all there for education. After analyzing the photo and taking from it all of the words and implied lines that I could, I put them on paper with my own interpretation. In the modules I focused on movement and togetherness. Some lines are fluid, some join together, and others seem to recede into the distance, another implication of movement. Being early on in the concept development I simply tried to put these words into abstract drawings.
