Silent Hill

Both John Arch and Myself decided early on to look at the psychological horror Franchise silent hill as a major source of inspiration behind the design of Gregor's room and as such we have betwwen us found imagery from the series' many videogames and related film that we both felt would be helpful to this project.

On the making of extra on the Silent Hill movie dvd  The Designers talked at length about using vaseline on pre painted and distressed walls then wallpapering over them and distressing the wallpaper. This process is evident in the picture below.

 We decided to use a variation of this technique on our room.

The following pictures show the extreme level of distress and wear from silent hill that we are hoping to acheive in our own work

Note the similarity between the walls in the silent hill games and those of the asylums and chernobyl interiors.
