Upon receiving this brief I generated a range of ideas of themes that could be considered relaxing and/or stress relieving. Standard themes include nature, forests, mountains and the ocean, however these would likely to be fairly common among submissions to this competition and should therefore be avoided in order to produce a more successful submission.
Other ideas included a library scene, an art studio, an art gallery or the general theme of space. During a small peer critique the theme of space received the most positive feedback, with the majority of people stating that it was not the most conventional theme and would therefore be an interesting interpretation for this brief. Further ideas were then generated around the theme of space and the universe, and potential designs could include stars, planets, the solar system and the milky way. From this feedback I began to create a range of physical line drawings.
