CASE STUDY: DESIGN & BUILD PROCESS
CONCEPTS - INITIAL SKETCHES
Once we have an idea of themes and a scheme to follow we start with quick pencil sketched illustrations to get a feel for the space and start developing ideas for atmospherics and individual features. This is quite a crucial stage in the early development of a concept as many ideas can be put to paper quickly and at low cost, almost acting as a visual brainstorm from which our clients can cherry pick elements they would like to develop further, or perhaps steer away from for the more detailed designs. These sketches are then added to a simple themebook, with moodboard images adjusted following feedback and to be more suited to the proposed design path.

To see an example of this, follow this link for some early sketches for a sci-fi themed escape room, focussing particularly on a requested feature for an animatronic character: https://issuu.com/deadwalkdesigns/docs/chronos_one_-_sci_fi_escape_room_-_initial_moodboa?fr=sNWYwYjU2ODg0MDI
