2D & 3D week 12

Today mark was here and there so we had time to do out own thing. I used this time to work more on my 2D & 3D design that i will be exhibiting.

in the design i will be using Sarah Modoh as my model and i shall be giving her angel wings but they will look more abstract and "fluffy" around the edges of it. The look of the wings will look like they were spray painted on, sort of like graffiti art.

here is a sample

at the top i will be adding a real life spray can for the 3D aspect and also making a cut out to make it look like it is spraying onto the paper.

finding the right paper to print on is also a bit hard, i want to use paper with a bit of rough texture, like the ones we have in our visual dairy

but it shall be all done in time for exhibiting :)

Everyones progress:

Jarrod: he has officially finished building/ making his custom wood port folio, he has attached the binder to the wood and fit the A3 leaflets perfectly.

Amelia: her lanterns are nearly finished, but her prototypes look awesome! the finished product will look spectacular.

Sarah: her poster/ pamphlet prototype looks good and very official, she is just waiting to get her other displays printed, mounted and set up.

Stevie: she been looking into getting her foam blocks cut professionally, so shall have to see the outcome when she finds and gets it cut.

Jess: her drawings/ drafts look great and well drawn, just gotta wait for her to finish and then digitally enhance the images. 

Carol: she has finished her caterpillar and it is rather large and well done! nicely stuck together, looks like something you would buy from a arts & crafts shop.

2D & 3D week 11

Today we discussed the progress of everyones work form the last week to see if they improved or finished their design.

Carol

Effectiveness of design process

she has pretty much finished and just refined it a little, but overall she is finished 

Effectiveness of concept communication

again, not to sure on her but her designs are good and very well put together

Progress in the last week

good, she completed her eagle puzzle

Sarah

Effectiveness of design process

nearly finished just need a bit more tweaking and she will have a impressive product

the concept is explained and seen visually easy 

Progress in the last week

has refined her poster/ pamphlet and is finished with it 

Jarrod

Effectiveness of design process

he has finished the folio, now working on the design to put on it and it looks great! he has drawn out what design he is going to put on it

Effectiveness of concept communication

the concept he is trying to show is that he is a designer and with this custom folio it is quite clear that he is 

Progress in the last week

he has put in a lot of effort into his design and is in phase 2 of this project, so progressed a lot

Amelia

Effectiveness of design process

she has put in a lot of effort and planning into her lanterns which are cool, she has come up with a lot of cool and fancy patterns that will be displayed on the lanterns

her concept i guess is to light up the room but with a interesting and fascinating shape

Progress in the last week

she has made a lot of progress from the last week with new floral designs and different patterns 

Stevie

Effectiveness of design process

she has displayed a lot of process in her design and explains it quite well, but still lost on what it will look like in the end

Effectiveness of concept communication

she is planning on combing 2D with 3D with her happy frog blocks which is cool

Progress in the last week

she has made some progress from the last week, she planned it out more but hasn't got a prototype made yet

2D & 3D week 10

Today we had a discussion on where everyone was at with their designs for the exhibition.

also discussed what needs to be addressed for the exhibition, like a checklist.

the things i have to check out are

• jacksons art supplies for materials to mount my designs
• and check out places to print them at

Everyones design process and what concept they are communicating 

Amelia
Process
well planned and involves a lot of effort, good stuff!
Concept communication
lighting up the occasion through exotic lamp designs

Sarah
Process
planned out nicely, printed out a prototype and it looks very professional.
Concept communication
concept is cool and the prototype looks really good so it helps display what she is getting at

Jess
Process
it sounds cool! but the way she was explaining it needs to be refined or touched up
Concept communication
she is mixing 2 different genres into one design which is cool! anime and graphics designs

Jarrod
Process
he has done a lot of research on how to make his folio and his explanation on it is good and clear
Concept communication
his concept for a custom/ self made folio shows his creativity and design side, which will show off his abilities 

Stevie

Carol
Process
she is pretty much done, showed in detail the process she took, and end product is very nice!
Concept communication
wasn't to sure on her concept but she planed to use nature in her design

2D & 3D week 9

 Today we got together as a big group again and discussed the layout for the poster and how it might look like.

the size was going to be printed in A3
font will be bell gothic standard (std) for everything

 

some concepts i came up with are doing a parachute theme, to give it the up in the sky feel and one with a fence on the bottom as if you were to over look the fence to see the sky.

the theme we decided on was 6 people holding up a visual dairy to cover their face and have the letters of "up here" on each book 

The following 2 designs are some that i was trying to show/ display to the class.

the design on the left is off a house hold fence with grass patch on the bottom ( thats where the sponsors logos go) with the exhibition logo hanging from the top of the fence, which also signifies "up here" literally cause its hanging from top of the fence.

the design on the right is more literal because it is at the top of a building/ hotel with a banner hanging up the top ( where the exhibition logo will be place) and the info/ text will be placed right at the roof on top and on the building. sponsors logos again, will be on the bottom

the scans didn't turn out quite visible so i added a threshold adjustment to try make it more visible.

 

2D & 3D week 8

In week 8 the whole class sat around to come up with a new logo for the new name of the exhibition "up here", its a little late but it is what we did for 2D & 3D class.

here are some of the drawings i did in my visual dairy

 

the concept i was going for was to transform the "up" but to look like a arrow pointing up.

we also went through a whole bunch of fonts to see which ones we liked.

i liked the Apple casual, Rockwell and Sign painter font

when on the mac i refined my logo design and gave it a totally new look/ concept form what i originally had with the tag line " revealing creativity" 

3D week 6

Practical work: Design Perspective

The task at hand was to come up with 2 3D object which have a sports & fashion design element to them, my choice was a custom designed pencil case.

 

Sports pencil case: is a pencil case with a illustration of a football team on it. in the background there is a stand filled with people to represent the cheering crowed that is cheering the football team on.

Fashion pencil case: the main feature on it is a elegant flower/ blooming out illustration with the text "Glam" to represents fashion

2D week 6

My 2 designs for the BLOX logo, for a non profit organization and one to be used in the industry

 

i like my 2 designs, the industry one looks very futuristic and industrial-like, so it goes well if it were to be used for a industry, also the tag line matches the theme and look of the design.
the non-profit one is suppose to look like blox, like in tetras that fall into place, thats why the tag line is "where things fall in place". if the color of it was more brown it would look like falling bricks, which will help the theme.

my other 2 starting designs, before refined in illustrator
