Final Major Project

This is it, my final project of my course and I want to go out with a bang. Here's the brief for my project. The brief basically explains we need to make our own brief, so I've posted my proposal as well. All in all, I want to created a 3-D pop-up book that illustrates the changing architecture in London over the years. I will focus on three areas, past, present a future. As this is a graphics project, the main part will be the creating of my imagery. I want this to be illustration based rather than photography based as it gives me the chance to show my interest in buildings and my skills on the computer. A couple of artists who have hugely inspired this project are Indonesian born Angga Tantama, and Quentin Blake. Whilst watching some of Tantama's time lapse videos on youtube, I noticed that he uses the pen tool on Adobe Illustrator to create his image. I've never used this before but always wondered how to use it. It allows you to easily crea...

A Digital Playground

A DIGITAL PLAYGROUND In the middle of a planned town centre in Amsterdam, these light rocks appeared to brighten up a dire concrete town square. They are called Marbles and these are interactive rocks that combine LEDs, sensors, speakers and a shed load of other digital media to interact with the public. The idea is that these rocks respond to touch and sound, so when they are, they change colour and produce sound. Each rock is connected to the other so they all work simultaneously to one another. The designers of this installment come from Studio Roosegaarde . They create many other pieces similar to this that respond to touch and sound. Their intention for this piece was to liven the square and make somewhere that seemed dreary, seem fun instead. Visit original article on The Creators Project

File Types 2

FILE TYPES 2 Following on from my post about PDF's, I'll check out other file types including: PSD, JPG, Tiff, PNG and Gif. First I'll have a look at file extensions. These tell the computer what type of file a document is so it assigns the the document the correct program to open up in. Two examples are, a file with .docx will open up in Microsoft Word and a file ending in .psd will open up in Adobe Photoshop. File types: PSD (Photoshop Document) - This opens a document in Photoshop. It's mainly an image file with the addition of layers masks, paths, transparency, texts, colouring and other Photoshop effects. It can be opened across a select range of other Adobe software such as Illustrator and After Effects. JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) - This is a common default file used for digital photography. It is an image file that allows a limited selection of adjustments to the file such as storage size and image quality. This can be opene...
