Environmental Design

Here are some of our ideas for our environmental design:

Balloons

-purple

-blue

Table Covers for the benches

Plastic- ware for wind chimes

Chalk

We want to focus on three points. We want everything to be in a triangular shape. We want them to reflect the shape through everything that we put up. We plan to do this on the Family Housing bus stop. 

Hullo! I was just thinking about our bus stop plans and I found this online:

I thought it was interesting, especially that some police join in.

To whom it may concern....

Hii!! My name is Celia and I am the stage manager of Mad Patterns. I am 18 years old as a first year at the University of California, Santa Cruz, affiliated with College Eight! My hometown is good ol' Bakersfield and I was born and raised there, and really, Bakersfield is not that bad. A lot of people think that it's really boring and there's just cows and fields, but there's more to it! We have some bomb candy and ice cream, in my opinion.. anyway, my major right now is Music Major and is considering Business Management Econ, and I would LOVE to do a do something in the theater major/minor also. Throughout my high school, I've done theater productions and many theater projects, so I have a few theater jobs (like stage managing) that I have experience with. Hm.. I think that's basically it. Oh yeah, hopefully in the future, I want to do something in the entertainment business as a manager, or really anything behind the camera.

For our environmental design project we, the Mad Patterns, propose to decorate a bus stop with balloons and streamers. We will use them in a manner that accentuates the proscenium-like structure of the bus stop, the open entry and exit ways on either side of the bench, and its function as a meeting place, path marker and point of transition (from one location to another). Hopefully, the party decorations will serve as a lasting reminder of the life that is constantly passing through the bus stop.

We just need to decide on the Who:

What: (what specific decorations will we use?)

When:

Where: (which bus stop exactly?)
