Ideas for creating an office?

Aranick · 21st June 2008, 11:11 AM

Hey all, redoing one of my plots and wanted to create an 18x18 office space. Anyone have idea ideas suggestions for it? thanks.

cubicles... mmm.

Hmmm...something went weird with the formatting so had to delete and try again. (Turns out I had scripts blocked). This is a concept for a desk I came up with. You would place it against a wall, but I built it in the middle of the floor where I had space when I thought of it.

I was happy with how it turned out.

Awww, thank you for the kind words!

Sharing things is the best way to spark creativity that I have seen.

People like Sarsmi and Miss Echo, and others have given me deco inspiration. They made me realize that with the 2D client, it is more about arranging things to make overall shapes that the eye can recognize as other familiar objects. With that in mind, I often start just taking lots of items and dropping them, stacking them, etc. to see what kinds of shapes can be made. Taking an already good idea others commonly use and playing with it is also a great way to start. You can come up with a lot of ideas just doing that sort of thing

For example, it is the way I came up with the hand towel idea here:

The sink idea is one that has been around a good while, but I wanted a hand towel and played around until I found an arrangement of objects that gave that illusion.

This little creepy crawly thing was made the same way...I made a bunch of different clothing items and started stacking them until I got something cute.
