For many of the environments, I wanted to base them as much as possible on real environments, therefore I began taking reference photos whenever I could both for colour schemes and for actual environments that I could base my structures on. I was able to take photos of different places including photos at Coventry Cathedral which had a distinct gothic look I could incorporate into the design. Many of the photos inspired my environment designs such as the large arches I photographed in Coventry.
Snoswell, (2004) describes the use of reference photos as an important step when designing environments as every artist needs to know how structures and landscapes relate to each other in the real world before they can be created from the imagination (p62).
