Habitat Mural- PSD with proper dimensions

Hey Guys!

So Ximena, Rachel and I went over to the Habitat Restore Center and got the correct measurements for the wall that will be painted as well as spoke with a few people including Renee and Janet about the design for the wall.

Some things that they mentioned:
-liked the idea of the cycle being depicted through multiple scenes or images.
-a lot of them like the image of having the toy plane resurface at the end of the image to bring the piece full circle
-we asked them what to do as far as the color of the figures in the piece to avoid conflict. that sparked another conversation about leaving it up to the viewer's imagination to come up with what color skin the characters have. they would like us to stick to more cartoon like characters to avoid getting heavy with the features of one specific group. So in the midst of this conversation it was brought up that we could design it like a blue print.
- we could have a flat color of blue for the background and then with white outlines drawing all of the scenes. the only objects in the piece that would have a filled color would be some of the objects being donated and those that are interact with the characters.

Below are two links to files for this project. The first link is one for the layout of the location with the proper dimensions on it. The second is the quick sketch that I showed today at the meeting as well as to Janet and Renee today- but fitted roughly to the new dimensions.

Reminder- for those that are helping with the design for this mural please have preliminary sketches ready for the meeting on Friday at 4:30 in Keating 2. We will discuss the designs, and divide what needs to be designed for that following Tuesday. Final design will be presented next Tuesday to the Glassfellows at the usual Tuesday meeting. Then we will go back through and fix any minor things and send it out to Janet and the crew at Habitat.

Questions feel free to email Ximena or I, or post here!
