For my story project I decided to go with a more lighthearted approach this time, as all my other projects this year have been quiet heavy subjects,

I decided to focus on old Irish tales (story’s) but make them modern.

Primarily focusing on internet topics like Karen’s, Soundcloud rappers and people ghosting each other.

Hollie, you were the sweetest kindest soul , you had an infectious personality and laugh and an inspiring motivation that kept not only me driven but everyone around you. You had an amazing sense of taste for music art and of course dark humor,

You were a fantastic friend, class mate and rep partner, we bonded over so much from sushi to Halloween costumes. You always had something interesting to show give or talk about, from eating pickled ginger from the tub or making cookies for the class you always had something to make someone happy. I remember the first time I said to myself "you are something special" When we had to make a group photo you had no problem giving ideas from the start. And that fire never ended.You suggested dominoes as the theme for our group which is ironic because your beautiful life and soul had a domino effect on everyone that had the pleasure to be touched by and for that I thank you.

Thank you Hollie thank you for being apart of my life and being my friend.

After putting it all together this is the full diorama.

I wanted to create a normal looking pharmacy but with a spooky undertone that is best shown with the lights inside when it is dark.

I am just waiting for it to get dark to do a proper video and photo shoot,

I stuck the alley illusion all together and made a black box behind it to make it look more prominent and this is how it turned out.

I wanted to create a spooky alley beside the pharmacy but didn’t want to make it very long so I’ve tried to make an optical illusion

The idea is to make the walls and floor smaller as they go in to the main small square.

This will create the illusion that the walls are further away.

I made all the glass in my diorama from hot glue to create a Smokey glass effect.

I used different coloured lights to see what looked best, I think the white is the best as it makes it look the most realistic.

Update on the pharmacy part of my diorama.

I used a hot glue gun to create a stream of water going into a gutter that will be connected to a pipe.

Base coat down on the building so far.

I plan to add a black line around everything to make it appear a lot more 3D it’s a style that I personally love.

Using a cut up can and cling film and sellotape to create a Smokey screen for light to get through.

Making the sign I filled it with hot glue for when I put a light behind it.

I made little flower pots and a sign as details.

I got fresh trimmings from a tree instead of making a plant myself because I want to see how it will look both fresh and older.

It might add to it.

For my Diorama I wanted to base it off the first scene of my story,

I want to create a midnight empty feel where it’s mostly dark but has amber and red tones.

Something similar to this vibe

The idea of this story is that The Banshee Karen has a sore throat and goes into the pharmacy to try something to help, the only problem is is that there is only non vegan options, she’s not happy with that.
