logo design

Studio Loft

For design visualization we worked on polishing our sketch up skills. I had to take a basic loft apartment space and:
-build it
-furnish it
-create texture
-render it
-add finishing touches.
These are views from the finished process. Not only is it rendered but it has people and a backdrop added. I think I may like sketch up now?crazy.

Scene of Discourse [Final]

This is my final scene of discourse. I focused on aligning vanishing points and lines, portraying the words I was given, and creating a balance. I added a light white spot on the top right to balance out the dark black spot on the bottom right. I used muted and unsaturated colors to promote an industrial look with a melancholy feel. Overall I am very pleased with the look of it.

Practice Makes Perfect

This is another practice scene that we created during class. We focused on blending images together and feathering them.

Scene Of Discourse

My first project in Visual Communications this semester works with utilizing photoshop. I had to combine 3 pictures into one to create a [scene] that reflected a mood and a descriptor. My mood was melancholy, and my descriptor was industrial. These are my first three iterations in the process. My favorite right now is the top image.

So Fast You'll Freak!

In visual communication I had to draw a location around campus and do the best hand rendering of it I could. I decided to do Jimmy Johns on Tate Street. I tried to focus on shadows and lighting while also maintaining texture.

Parts To A Whole:Cabinetry Composition

This is my final composition for visual communications 1. I compiled elevations, a floor plan, a section cut, an exploded view, and an axonometric together to create it. The section and the elevations have tags on the floor plan so it is easy to see where they are cut from. I decided to render some as well as keep some line drawings to add to the visual experience.

Cabinet Compilation: Case Piece

Along with the floor plan I have to have drawing of strictly my cabinetry. This happens to be my case piece as well. The first image is of the cabinet open with no doors, the second is with them partially open, and the third is with the doors closed.

Cabinet Compilation: Floor Plan

I've started to work on a compilation of drawings for a presentation of the millwork in my studio project. This is the rendered floor plan showing where all my cabinetry is placed. The dark brown in the image is where it is at.

Material Exploration

This week I had to take the materials that are going into my studio kitchen project and recreate them by hand. For each material I zoomed in each time i drew it as well as changed the media I used each time. One was all pen, one was rendered, and one was pencil. I used full scale, 1/2, and 1/4. I think the most successful ones are the ones i did in pen as well as my rendered ones, The pencil drawings however did not turn out as descriptive as i would have wanted.

CASE STUDY:composition

To bring the case study to a close I created a board to show the progression throughout. I chose a simple design so that the drawings themselves are highlighted and not the board. I also focused on hierarchy so that the most important drawings were highlighted.

SYTYCD-logo

For SYTYCD this week I had to create a logo for my studio project. My concept is red maple tree bark so I made a logo that brought wood as well as layers and variation into it.

SYTYCD-joint rewind

This week we got the chance to redo a sytycd from a previous week. I choose the first one we did which was to draw a joint. I did the joint between branches and a tree, as well as the tree to the ground. I was only allowed to use black ink, and had to do it on a 12"x12".

CASE STUDY:perspective

This is the final drawing for the case study project. I chose to do a rendered perspective of the living area.After completing this it was interesting to see how far I had come from the floor plan.

CASE STUDY:rendered axonometric

After completing the black and white axonometric I then chose to render it in color. I focused on lighting, shadows, and material depiction. This is the final axonometric view that I completed.

CASE STUDY:rendered b&w axonometric

After finishing the axonometric we furthered our study by using different rendering styles. This was done with pen and a combination of pencils to show shadow and light.

yabba dabba dooo

This weeks so you think you can draw was a throwback to the past. I had to choose an interior space in a past time and design it in the same style. I went back all the way to the stone age, even the flinestones got thrown in there.

CASE STUDY:axonometric

This is the next stage in the case study project. I had to bring the plan to life by making it 3D. I put the plan on a 45degree angle to make it axonometric. I used pencil as my media on vellum.

Floor plan application

Taking on what I have learned about floor plan rendering in visual communications, this is part of my studio project. This is the floor plan of the foods lab that I designed.

SCALE figure

This week we focused on creating scale figures in different styles. This style was my favorite. It just uses dark shapes to create the positive space.
