Poster: Montage-IT! workshop 3

My A2 montage IT poster takes inspiration from the ideals behind photo-montaging. When we took our class models and montaged it, we were taking something different and putting it into a scene to make it look as if  it has always been apart of the landscape. My poster takes this concept the odd shaped shapes in the squares reflect how we are seamlessly fitting in something that is different and making it the focal point. 

Montage IT! - Montages

For our take home task we were required to create two contrasting montages with our models in it. I decided to so a night time montage and a dusk time montage. We also had to do a initial montage after we built our model.

First Montage

Dusk 

The background of the Dusk montage was a different image which through layers and the erase tool i integrated it into the montage. My model  sits on the right and it takes over the whole right side, i used the burn tool to make sure that the model appearance fit the dusk theme.

Night Time

For my night time montage, i wanted my montage to be atmospheric and full of light and excitement I played around with the exposure and brightness in my montage a lot and put in people to make it more atmospheric. My model acts as a monument/ stairs in the image and i had to de-saturate the color and increase the exposure to get a brighter finish to fit in with the night life theme. 

Montage IT! - Flip Book

One of the concepts behind our flip book creation was to show the movement through our structure, i took this concept heavily into consideration and created a flip book which shows a man moving through my spiral stair like structure which was my interpretation of the wall by Andy Goldsworthy. For me it was more important to show how a person could move through my structure rather than focusing n the structure it self, The back ground image of my structure is the sky with fluffy clouds, I took inspiration from Led Zeppelins "Stairway to heaven" hence the sky background (my model looks like a stair case). 

Flip Book Slides

I used Photoshop animation and then copied each slide into in design so printing would become easier. In the end my flip book conveys a man climbing up my model's stairs 

Montage IT! - Concept Model

Our First task for workshop 3 was to create a model based on a piece of artwork. My chosen piece of artwork was The wall at storm king by Andy Goldsworthy. The wall twists and turns in and out of trees utilizing their placement to give the wall its interesting shape putting itself second to the natural landscape of the grounds. It bows to nature once more when it comes to a pond and does not attempt to master it. 

Concept Model 

I considered these notions whist designing my concept model, i took into play the twisting nature of the wall and created a model which mimicked this nature.

Poster: Draw-IT! workshop 2

My poster focuses on the multifaceted nature of drawing and rendering. The section plans of Magney house protrude from the draw it text in a circular shape. This broadcasts how drawings can be represented in many ways, the text is multi-colored to represent how renderings are not linear and have many different aspects which come together as a whole

Draw IT! Week 3- Take Home Task

Our final Take home task required us to render our plans in one specific style and we had do complete an axonometric view of our house. I used watercolor to render my plans but the outcome wasn't as successful. In hindsight i should have rendered my plans in my pencil method that I was previously successful with. 

Draw IT! Week 3- Class Task

For our in class task we were required to draw and axonometic view of our kitchen/ living area. Axonometric drawings are relatively easy to grasp after you understand that you have to rotate your initial plan 30 or 45 degrees to the horizontal. After the plan is rotated you draw vertical lines from each point on the plan. I found this in class task easier and i found it more refreshing as it was the first time where i knew what to do, which was great.
