Mick Gordon Museum
10/2023
Project Description
The Prompt for the project was to pick an artist or celebrity and create a museum based on their work. I was given a pre-existing building that I could make subtle changes to, as well as an empty plot to design a two story extension. I chose Musician and Composer Mick Gordon. He is known for his metal music, which I used as the inspiration for my designs.

Logo Design
The inspiration for my design was various metal bands such as Slayer, Metallica, Iron Maiden and Slayer. I also looked at the Logo's for the games DOOM 2016 and Wolfenstein, which Mick Gordon composed the soundtracks for. They all showed a lot of the same characteristics, most notably a the jagged nature of the letters. I also produced the design in a variety of color schemes
Design 1
The concept for this design was to mimic the gothic architecture associated with his kind of music and which is present in the games he composes for. The gothic arches used in the extension were repeated above the window frames on the pre-existing building.
Design 2
For this one I wanted to recreate the jagged nature of the logo onto the building. I also placed altars on each column as a reference to DOOM 2016, arguably his most prominent and well known work.
Design 3
This Final design was heavily based off of the DOOM games. That is where I originally found about Mick Gordon and so I attempted to bring the game to life with this design.
