Primary research

I conducted primary research by taking photographs of items and textures that I could reference to make a new asset in my three isometric rooms assignment or I could use some pictures as texture.

I initially walked around Wiltshire college (Trowbridge campus) taking photos of things that piqued my interest, taking pictures of pipes, lights, security cameras etc.

After I went to B & Q and walked around the shop and found an amazing amount of items that I could use as reference/ textures. I have added 25 photographs to the gallery but overall I took over 80 photos for my research.

I am going to be adding a holographic clock to one of my isometric rooms.
Within my locker system, I am going to add a vent/grating and I thought it would look nice.
one of my rooms is going to be a Bio dome greenhouse so I thought I could add a lighting system above plants to add the plant nursery effect.
the wood I thought I could use as a texture for benches within the Bio dome.
I was going to make one of my rooms a sort of Armoury/Vault room so I thought I could add security cameras inside and outside the room.
I could use the BBQ knob to reference into making a twisting dimmer switch.
I was thinking of using the carpet as a type of texture maybe for a rug.
I was going to make the stone as a path in the Bio dome.
The bamboo shoots could be added to the Bio dome as a decorative feature.
The rocks and grass could be adapted to the outside of the wall to look like moss on rocks.
The wicker could be added to make a wicker wall for a decorative feature.
I am going to use the pillar as a reference to make my own pillars for the Armoury/Vault room and potentially Biodome
I could use the flowers as a texture to add to the Bio dome or use it as a reference to create my own flower assets.
The two-toned carpet can be used as a texture for a carpet/rug.
I can use the two metal panels as tiling for floors/walls.
I can use this light as a reference to create wall lights.
I can use the rubber matting as a texture for flooring.
I could use this texture as walls for the Armoury/Vault room
I turned the radiator on the side to give me an idea for the grating/vent.
I could use the bristles to add a sort of dead grass look to the Bio dome.
The Hessian could be used as a texture for plant pot interiors that can overflow slightly.
The grating can be used as a flooring texture,
the bumps in the wood door can be adapted to add detailing to walls within my isometric rooms.
the Plaster texture can me used to add little details to certain items.
the lights in this photo can be adapted to make floor lighting within my marine quarters isometric room.

Due to the change of my isometric room, I went out at a later date to do some more primary research and got these pictures from Carpet right and B & Q.

1. A picture I took of some carpet at a distance it kind of looks like static, so I may use it for a tv that has no input on the screen.

2. A nice patterned carpet I think I'll use this for flooring in my third room

3. A wallpaper pattern that I could adapt to make it a lampshade.

4. The wood flooring I could use this as a flooring in my third room.

5. I could use this as the exterior part of my walls.

This is the questionnaire that I conducted in regards to my isometric rooms. I got a lot of positive responses, with ideas to improve my work and suggestions on what I should be taking into account when designing the rooms. overall I am happy with the results of this questionnaire.
