Environment Art - Term 2 Project

Creating windows and finishing sign!

This week was much more productive! At the beginning of the week I watched scenes from Harry Potter of diagon alley to really observe the surroundings to see if I can add any details to my building that there is in the movie. I also watched someone's vlog that did a tour of diagon alley in universal park to also see what they added to make the scene come to life for the fans ( the link to the universal park video I referenced from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LUNshGrLrk ) From this information from the movie and the theme park I was able to get some inspiration in what next to add to my building.

From the movie I saw that all of the shops didn't just have their names on the signs hanging from the building but they also had their shop names onto the building it self. I thought this was a very interesting detail I missed and want to add that to my shop as well to make my shop look like it truly belongs in diagon alley.

In the movie and on the tour all of the street lamps have this design. I believe this was the common street lamp they had in the Victorian times. I would like to build this lamp and also attach it to my building as I thought that would be a great source of light and a cute feature.

This is what Victorian street lamps comes up up on google

I also wanted to create a glass door way leading into my balcony. The top image was my main reference but I couldn't use it fully as in the Victorian era they didn't have big glass planes like this as they couldn't make it so I also used the second image as my glass reference as well.

^This is the process

I'm not sure if there is a way to mirror these windows as I made them both by hand (which took a long time) but i think they are very cute and add to the building.
