Above:- The image displays the suspended meeting room with the elevators moving to and from their respective spaces. The majority of the image is taken up by Donatella Versace's space which is comprised from a collection of boxes. I used the boxes to symbolize "packages" or "parcels" which comment on the modern consumerism that feeds Versace's power.

Above- Job's space is very different and I deliberately created a strong contrast in symmetry and colour. Due to Job's involvement in modern technology, I made the space reflect a "new-age", "computerized" environment where even the rails act as a direction of power that flows into Job's own personal room.

Above- I strayed away from the single bridge and created a "cross road" bridge which supports the spaces below. The numerous disks are portrayed as office blocks which are occupied by the millions of employees working under the command of Job's, this in itself demonstrates Job's power over the masses.

Above- As already stated, the glass boxes represent packages that comment on the way Versace uses commercial means to gain a position of power. I made each of the boxes have a different hand drawn texture which gives a fashionable touch much like the style of Versace's own label.

Above- This is the pinnacle of Job's space! As mentioned before, I used a pulsating textures to give the impression that there is electrical power flowing through the rails. I feel that this enhances the overall theme of power and supports Job's own area of specialty, technology.



Above- This shot combines the two spaces and illustrates the relationship between them and the meeting space via the elevators. The glass roofs in Versace's space where designed so that one could gaze up at Job's monumental area. From below, the four main colours (red, blue, green and yellow) of the the famous 'Aplle I-pod' are visible.

3rd Draft Elevator



My inspiration for this elevator came from a gaol cell. The vertical bars create a feeling of restriction which plays with the idea of a greater power holding or confining.
