All things in their place.

The final step in creating my environment was to create the background for my pod, this was essential as the background and the setting would be what would give the pod it's mood and feeling and give it a sense of scale.

I played with a few simple flat environments at first, just giving the scene a sense of depth, I didn't want to work on them to finely, as I kept in mind Nichols (2007) who states "When sketching ideas early in the concept phase, it's more important to capture feeling rather than detail. Overly detailed images at the early stage can often polarize more than it inspires" (2007:148)
