When reading the story and looking at the excerpts, I wanted to create Gregor's room into something that would seem homey on the outside but digging deeper into each object and color to notice that everything is not as it seems. I decided to choose colors that would entice the eyes to not only look on top but to see underneath to figure out what is actually going on with Gregor throughout the story. I wanted to make the colors of his blanket and pillow to be bright to show the beginning side of him that wanted to stay in the nice bed all day where as everything else filled with this dull color to emphasize the later part of the story to when he transformed and then on. The reason for having the closet out of all the other items that I created was to show Gregor's usual job with his suit and tie in there along with himself hiding from everyone knowing that he can never go back to work looking like that. I wanted to put more detail into the objects that Gregor did not use or was around to show the originality of the object rather than the things he touched or was underneath to spotlight what was happening to both him and his stuff in his room towards the end of the story.
