Week 13 - 2D&3D

20/10/10, Week 13 - 2D&3D

Second Last Week!!
Today i printed out my second lot of pictures to make sure they are all right for cutting. i am going to cut them today also and get them ready to stick onto the foam.
Here are my two images that im presenting in the exhibition

Week 12 - 2D&3D

12/10/10, Week 12 - 2D&3D

Mark Wasn't here today, so i went on to do some more editing to the two pictures that are going onto my project. i have now put the two images into an indesign file and have set up all the cutting lines using the guides so that they are all even and the same distance apart throughout the entire picture. i have also exported the image to a pdf ready to print using the A3 printer. Just need to talk to Damien about using it also using it to print off the posters for the exhibition tomorrow. all i need to do now is finish the 3D part of the project which i will give a crack when i get home. my mum also said that she will give me a hand as she is a creative person and she knows what she is doing. so by next week i should have my final piece completed and ready for the exhibition.

Blogging on other students in the class

i think over all, everyone in our class has made an excellent effort in creating pieces for the exhibition. Jessicas posters turned out great and the way she has coloured them and arranged them suits the theme she was going for. i think the editing of the picture is very well done and it looks like something you would find in a magazine. Sarahs posters and clothes pamphlets look great, deffinatly something i would find in a shop. and the pictures sell the clothes very well. i think sarah would make a very good fashion designer. Jarrods posters and stickers are excellent, i really like the designs he did and they are very modern and something i would hang on my wall, he will make a great graphic designer (better remember us all when he gets famous). Amelias lanterns turn out very well, the patterns on the lanterns are not what i was expecting which made it very exciting. the way the light hit the wall was also a mood setter. i would defiantly buy some for my house. Zacs posters turned out good as well, his editing is great and each poster fitted in with each other.

Week 11 - 2D&3D

5/10/2010, Week 11 – 2D&3D

Work I am exhibiting!

· 2D - 3D frog poster square cut out

· Drawing of frogs for magazine article from Stevens class

· Poster and business card from Geoff’s class

Zac

Effectiveness of design process

Zac has changed his mind on the project he is doing, not sure if he will have enough time to do it but I think the new idea is good and he should give it a crack

Effectiveness of concept communication

The communication is a bit hard to understand but I think once he make it and I see it in person I will have a better understanding of what he is going for

Progress in the last week

For the last project he hasn’t done much but is focusing a lot on the new idea which I think I good.

Sarah

Effectiveness of design process

I think the design is coming along very nicely and sarah is making good progress.

Effectiveness of concept communication

The concept is clear and it is something im interested in as im love shopping for clothes

Progress in the last week

Has made a lot of progress during the pass couple of weeks

Carol

Effectiveness of design process

The process has come along good as she is finished a couple of pieces already.

Effectiveness of concept communication

I don’t really see the concept of each piece but they are colourful and happy so I think a cheerful mood is being set.

Progress in the last week

Very good, has finished heaps of pieces

Jarrod

Effectiveness of design process

I think the design for his piece of work has been very well thought out and I cant wait to see the finished product.

Effectiveness of concept communication

The communication is pretty clear here as it is an artist portfolio and therefore has very nice art covering the front cover.

Progress in the last week

I think he has made heaps of progress in the last week, he has the images sorted of what he wants on the front and it’s a good idea.

Amelia

Effectiveness of design process

I like the design process that Amelia is going for, she has the decorations and patterns worked out for her lanterns.

Effectiveness of concept communication

I think she is going for more of a floral kind of theme, which I like and I think, is most suited for this project.

Progress in the last week

Has made a lot of progress in the last week with finding the designs for the lanterns.

The 3D and the 2D classes have slowly merged therefore most of the stuff is going to be similar. for todays class i worked on how my picture is going to be cut and also on the DL and poster.

Week 10 - 3D

28/09/2010, Week 10 – 3D

After going though all our concepts, we now have time in class to work on our projects which is good because i really need to get cracking on my drafts and print out some pictures.

sometime this week im going to do all my testing for the project.

got all the lines on the picture ready for cutting.
here are the cubes im goin to stick them on.

Week 10 - 2D

28/09/2010, Week 10 – 2D

cutting foam - what is going to be the best way to cut it and the neatest way.
electric knife, hot wire? might have to stay home over the weekend and do some tests.
glues - what glue is going to be the best for sticking it all together and so that the paper doesnt crinkle.
working out the angles - how am i going to have the pictures facing so that people dont see just white foam, i originally wanted just two sides but mite have to do some tests to work out what looks good.

Group Exercise.
Stevie
Design process
Pretty clear process, could visualize the end project. Needs some testing, make a prototype. Go for it. Try different variations.
Concept communication
Pretty clear, end product matches up with the concept, not dark and gloomy but a happy vibe.

Amelia
Design process
Very well thought out, thorough.
Concept communication
Bringing light to the world.

Sarah
Design process
Well thought out, executed and a prototype that works. More experimentation with the swing tags, if she has time.
Concept communication
Having the prototype helps communicate the concept

Jarrod
Design process
Practical, thorough research has been done. Clear and well thought out
Concept communication
Make a mini model to help with the communication to improve the final outcome or help visualize the end product.

Zac
Design process
Done some good experimentation. Going in the right direction.
Concept communication
Concept wasn’t really clear, but with some specific points it will become more clear.

Carol
Design process
Well thought out, got all the materials, showed a step by step process from start to finish. Complex but well planed.
Concept communication
Concept not very clear, a broad concept. Smell good.

Jess
Design process
Needs to be developed a bit more.
Concept communication
To bring anime into graphic design.

Week 9 - 3D

21/09/2010, Week 9 – 3D

Make a list of your proposed exhibition works
- Photograph of a frog and make uneven levels using foam to make a 3D effect.
- Something from the drawing class
- And i want to make 1 more thing but im not sure yet

Itemise:
Dimensions
I want the picture of the frog to be A3 but maybe a square so there is not so much dead space around the outside.
Display requirements (hanging / floor space / special FX / audio / video)
Im thinking of maybe hanging it, or having it sit on a stand.
A short description of the concept
I think frogs are very cute and i have happened to capture one smiling. I want people to feel warm inside when they see this photo as no other state in Australia is known for there wildlife.
The name of the piece
Smile, And The Whole World Will Smile With You!
Materials used
Printed paper
Foam
Cardbored

Week 9 - 2D

21/09/2010, Week 9 – 2D

Jess and Zac show us their visual diarys, Jess shared us her ideas for her project and Zac showed us his logo designs.

Group Exercise

Coming up with some poser concepts for the exhibition, we all got into a group and start to throw some ideas around. We ended up with the idea of people standing in a row with paper bags in their heads with each letters of the title “uphere” printed on each bag. Each person will be holding something to do with each creative arts class for example: a mouse for the design students, violin bow for the music students, earphones for the multimedia students, paintbrushes for the art students and rulers for the architecture students. When mucking around working out how we will do this, we came up with a better way of taking the picture. Having a projector to project the name on a white background and selected students to hold up books for each letter.

Just mucking around with the projector for the design of the poster
Using the projector and the books to highlight each letter.

Week 8 - 3D

14/09/2010, Week 8 – 3D

Slowly getting all my materials together for the project
got the foam, just need to get the box for everything to sit in.

Didnt really do anything in this class along the lines of group exercises
We talked about the logo the whole time, trying to work out the final logos to present in the meeting on thursday.

Week 8 - 2D

14/09/2010, Week 8 – 2DHere are some of the designs i have come up with for 'uphere'
I dont really like the design that one of the staff members have made for the exhibition as i think the background looks like music bars, and that doesnt really include the design students.

Week 7 - 3D

31/08/2010, Week 7 – 3D

Show and tell

Amelia and Jarrod talked about their 3D art. They had item to show such as a cut out of a lantern and the shape it is going to be also Jarrod had a portfolio with some designs on the front that he is thinking of doing on the real thing. i think they have done a very good job and a lot of thought has gone into each design.

Presenting our 3d concepts on sports and fashion items

Carol, Zac and I got up and explained our concepts and feelings on our sports or fashion item designs to the class. We had to refine the design as well.For my design I had a shoe, which looked like a runner with a heel on it. the style is the same as a runner with all the stripes on the side, it also has laces. the stripes can be any different colour also having the idea of glitter to make it more stylish is an option.
Here are a few designs i have found on the internet (Google Images - Sports Heels)And here is a design i have put togetherConcepts
Going with a sports theme
Having the style the same, as a sports runner would look, laces, stripes etc.
The heel can be a stiletto or a wedge.

Feelings
Feel Sporty
Feel Stylish
Something that’s not too dressy

Presenting our work to the class

Teddy got up and showed us his work on the logos he did for Blox.

We need to come up with a logo and theme 200mm square 3mm bleed for the Off The Leash Magazine. We have missed the deadline for the front cover but if we can get everything done by Thursday we can get an ad on the second page of the magazine.

Today we all designed a few different logos either drawing them or using illustrator. I have drawn a few in my book and I also have done a heap on illustrator.

I think my designs are simple but effective because the name stands out and the graphics also help to explain the name. growth was the main factor i was going for as we are uni students and we are growing to become what we want to be as a person. A flower i think describes growth in the best way as it starts off as a small like bud and gradually blossoms into a beautiful flower as it shows its self off to the world. be the best you can be.!

Week 5 - 3D

17/08/2010, Week 5 – 3D

presenting 3D design concept to the class
a few of our class mates got up in front of the class and shared their ideas for a 3D design. the ideas that people came up with are very good and i would like to see if they actually follow through.
Jarrod came up with the wooden portfolio design, and he had a lot of answers to back up everybody's questions which i think is good because he has obviously thought about the process in detail. Jessica has her design as posters of the near future in technology and Amelia's idea of the lanterns is great because not only is it art but it can be used over and over for parties, celebrations etc.
discussion on challenging design concept assumptions
challenging design concepts is good because it helps you think outside the square and put your ideas to test. also it may help you come up with other ideas or ways to form a better concept.
Challenging Jarrod would be the materials such as what wood would be used as well as how is he going to design the front cover. Jessica needs to find bits and pieces form the dump to make the 3D posters come to life and Amelia needs to find the best materials for her lanterns so they don't catch on fire.

Week 5 - 2D

17/08/2010, Week 5 – 2D

Group Exercise

Q1 the doctor in London has a brother in Manchester who is a lawyer, the lawyer doesn’t have a brother in London but he has a sister who is a doctor.

Because they use the brother word a lot, and people think doctors are usually men.

Q2 push the cork into the bottle

There could be a hole in the bottle

Get someone else to take the cork out

Q3 grandma has two daughters and the two daughters have two daughters

Three totally different people, not related

Exercise 2

Assumptions

He needs transport

He has to drive

He needs to be there on time

His going to sleep and leave in the morning

What would be on your list of assumptions if you were mike?

· Take a plane

· Ride a bike/motorbike

· Leave Los Angeles now while the traffic isn’t bad and go to Hollywood and sleep there

Challenge each item on the list to find a solution?

Plane – mite not be able to get a flight in time
- there might not be a plane that goes from LA to Hollywood

Bike – there might be heaps of people in the sidewalk
- it might be dangerous on the road with the cars

Sleep in Hollywood – might not be anywhere to sleep at that time in the morning.

Week 4 - 3D

10/08/2010, Week 4 – 3D

This week we went through last weeks homework which was the car design. we had show and tell to see what everyone had come up with. the picture below is my three designs of the cars i came up with.
Group Work

Zac – Apple
Making a 3D Object out of paper
Sarah – TV Boxes
Making the pyramid out of TV shaped boxes
Jess – 4 elements
The 3D elements that are apart of the 2D design is jewelry. In the 2D posters there will be characters wearing jewelry. There are 4 posters and one piece of jewelry per poster. The posters will be based on the four elements of the changing seasons. For example there will a girl wearing a necklace made of fire, and that necklace will be based on the element.
Stevie – Small Life
3D sculpture of animals and nature.

Design Exploration

Zac - techniques others have used on youtube.
Sarah – exploring the internet to see if this idea has been done before
Jess – looking for different ideas from other artist
Stevie – finding pictures and ideas on nature.

Design Challenges

Zac – doing the poster in photoshop or illustrator
Sarah - different types of cardboards, and glues to keep the pyramid together.
Jess - The use of different materials and time consumption.
Stevie – different materials and ways of putting it all together

Individual
Two Experiments

1. The different materials used. For example
o Paper
o Cardboerd
o Scrapes
o Clay
2. The way its presented
o Sculpture
o In a box

Pros
• Using a whole range of different materials shows creativity

Cons
• The cost of materials may be to expensive
• It my be time consuming

Choosing and Refusing

i think presenting this as a sculpture would be the most appropriate option as doing it in a box is restricted.

Here are some other pictures i thought were pretty cool. i might try this style for my project.

Week 4 - 2D

10/08/2010, Week 4 – 2D

Group Exercise - Experimenting, Exploring and Challenging

for this group exercise we had to start coming up with the 2D designs for our exhibition portfolio. as a group we got some ideas and started thinking how to explore them and challenge them.

Design Exploration

Sarah - TV Pictures
The pictures that are going to be displayed on each TV screen in the 3D TV pyramid.
Zac – Fantasy posters
Photos of people edited in photoshop – modern clothing with medieval psychic powers
Jess – World changes
2D presentation of four separate pictures on the four elements fantasy prospective.
Stevie – Nature Danger
Edited photographs of animals left homeless by humans

Design Challenging

Sarah - making her own pictures instead of using someone else's
Zac - Make it stand out
Jess - Materials used
Stevie - Getting the photos of the animals

Prac.

Individual - Experimentation, variation and evaluation

Two experiments

1. using photographs of animals and editing them on Photoshop to produce a collage.

2. creating the pictures using illustrator and go for a more cartoon feel.

Pros

· Taking photographs of animals will come across more appealing then computer generated ones.

· Using Photoshop, I can edited the pictures I take easily and make them look the way I want them.

· Interpret both Photoshop and Illustrator techniques into the final design.

· Show my skills in using Photoshop

Cons

· Using illustrator, I can only create basic shapes and forms therefore the overall picture mite look a bit plain like.

· It might be a bit hard to get pictures of the animals I want

· Getting the right pictures might be time consuming.

Choosing and refusing

I think using real pictures of animals would be better then creating them, as the pictures I create mite not look real.

Week 3 - 3D

3/08/2010, Week 3 –

In this class we talked about our CDU bag designs and what would work best. Having room for plenty of books, A3 and A4 is a good idea, saves carrying them. A place to put all you pens and pencils also a place to hide your valuables.

For our group exercise we had to use the concept of reducing to come up with a personal transporting device. It needs to be eco friendly and we need to come up with a catchy name for it. After alot of thought we came up with a one seater car that had a battery and was powered off of green house gases. We call it Eco Beetle.
The panels on the Eco Beetle would be made out of recycled plastics.

Three different versions of the car needed to be produces, i came up with:
Eco Party
-must be eye candy/flash
-a loud sound system
-supply everything you need to have a good party or to take the party with you.
Eco Recreation/Family
-more space for equipment
-fridge and bbq
-add-ons, for family seating
Eco Business
-modern electronics
-a place to secure paperwork
-places to store business suits

Week 3 - 2D

3/08/2010, Week 3 –

Today a few of us did a presentation on the page tags we made the week before. Some of the design were very unique and well though out. My designs are simple and clear as i think its easy to read and to the point.

For the group activity, we had to randomly select two different words and write down what they mean to us and what you think of when you put them together. We selected the words kite and bread.
When i think of kite these things come to mind:

• fun
• colourful
• different shapes
• games
• flexible
• flows with the wind
• sky high
• peaceful
• recreational
• birds
• clouds

When i think of bread these things come to mind:

• yummy
• hard crust
• birds
• soft center
• meals
• dinner parties
• multi grain
• raisin
• white
• wholemeal
• France

the concepts i came up with are

• a kite that is edible (for feeding birds)
• a kite that looks like bread
• site shaped bread
• using a kite to transfer bread

Planing Concepts
programs i like to use
-illustrator
-photoshop

Things i like
-animals
-jungle
-foliage

Concepts
-animals hurt by oil spills
-animals left homeless by rain forest demolition
-the beauty of extincted animals, not to let the rest end up the same way.
-the uniqueness of animals and foliage

Week 2 - 3D

27/07/2010, Week 2 –

This Week our class discussed the information and knowledge we found out about 3D design. we split up into groups and put all our information together in sections so it was easier to read and all the relevant information was grouped.

fashion is a good example of 3D design as well as buildings. fashion designers design clothes in which the models show off to the public, architectures design large building either to suit the theme of the business or to which would work best with the business.

3D objects are everywhere around us.

Week 2 - 2D

27/07/2010, Week 2 –

This Week our class discussed the information and knowledge we found out about 2D design. we split up into groups and put all our information together in sections so it was easier to read and all the relevant information was grouped.

we found some really good websites that had tutorials on 2D design and 2D art

Also a bit of information on 2D tools.
Quoted from the site.

these are my 2 diary tags i designed

i like the shape of the bottom one as it is funky and explains that this is a design class. the top one is more formal like and has everything you need to see very clear.

"DESIGN TOOLS - 2D DESIGN
This package is an ideal introduction to computer aided design and combines technical draughting, graphic design and CAD/CAM, into one package, suitable for all ages.
The system has an easy link to computer aided manufacture where designs can be easily manufactured with the Roland family of machines.
Designed for education
Many CAD systems were designed for industrial applications and these have been placed into schools with the statement that students should use industrial standard tools. It is important to introduce CAD concepts that are part and parcel of all CAD systems and not focus on a particular software package.
Techsoft has been closely linked to education for many years and designed 2D DESIGN as a combination of traditional drafting processes with graphic design (illustrations, advertisements, etc.).
With 2D DESIGN, TechSoft have taken the best of both these approaches, and combined them with considerable educational and CAD/CAM experience, to produce one of the most versatile design packages available, and yet, at the same time, one of the easiest to use.
2D DESIGN delivers real drawing power.
It is one of the most sophisticated design packages available anywhere!"

Week 1 - 3D

20/07/2010, Week 1 –

3D design are sculptures, buildings anything with 3 dimensions: length, height and depth.

here are some 3D artist i found on the internet.
Ron Mueck (born 1958) is an Australian hyper realist sculptor working in the UK. His art looks so real, would like to know how he does it and what materials he uses.



Theo Jansen (born March 14, 1948, in The Hague, Netherlands) is a Dutch artist and kinetic sculptor. He builds large skeletons like sculptures of animals and are able to walk using the wind on the beaches. "His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering" some say. In a car company television commercial Jansen says: "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds."
I like the way the sculptures move with only the wind powering them. The maths behind it is incredible. Wouldn’t mind seeing the sculptures move in person.



Julian Beever is an English chalk artist who has been creating 3D like chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. His works are created using a projection called anamorphosis, and create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle. I have seen a bit of Julians work through emails and on websites, I really like how he can make a drawing on the ground look 3D. I don’t understand how the image look 3D when they are stretched.



3D Designs
CAD is a program that helps design 3D object. Buildings, clothing, art projects.

Here are some 2D pictures I have found from Drawings, Computer Generated Images and Programs, which are used to make furniture and other products. Most of the world’s designs start out as 2D images before transformed into 3D objects. 2D designs are also kept as pictures and drawings.
