Colour Wheel - Contrasting Colours

Below is an few examples of contrasting colours.

Colour Wheel

Today we looked at Colour wheels and how certain colour an compliment and contrast with each other.

Below the colour wheel is an exmple of my favorite analogous colour combination. Both colours work well together because they are easy on the eye.

Rule of Thirds

Gantt Chart - Website

A Gantt Chart created for my website.

Journal Task – 3 user based websites

For our journal task we were asked to find 3 websites providing user generated content

http://www.photobucket.com/

Photobucket is an image hosting website allowing users upload photo content varying from personal to professional photography photos. Over time the website has broadened their content allowing users to upload videos too. The website structure is very simplistic with the simple navigation bar at the top and sub categories to the left, thus allows more space for user generated content to be listed. The use of colour has been kept minimalistic using blue and cream as the centralised colours plain against the varied content uploaded.

http://www.cafepress.co.uk/

Cafepress is a template and user driven website offering users to purchased custom made t-shirts. Users can either upload photos to templates or upload their own designs to share. This also offers fan bases e.g. Twlight to generate content and share their passion for the film. The website uses the top-down navigation keeping it simple; also using bright clean colours making it look busy.















http://www.dailymotion.com/

Dailymotion is about finding new ways to see, share and engage your world through the power of online video. You can find/upload videos about your interests and hobbies, eyewitness accounts of recent news and distant places. The website is very self explanatory with the simple navigation bar and big headings showing where you are. The use of a star rating allows the users to view categories in a different way, allowing them to view comments from other users.

Avatar Element - Head

I'm finding it quite difficult to create an avatar because I still don't understand where half the buttons are!

Here's the first stages where I'm currently modeling the head first so it gives me enough time to make it perfect. I have modeled some of the body but I'm just posting the head part.

Using front and side pictures I have constructed some sort of a base model to sculpt later on.

Showcase Ideas

I've been trying out various tutorials over the past few weeks which i why i haven't posted much.

I have started to create my room for my showcase and thought i will post it up.

I have created a base model of what my room looks like and now I'm going to start to create objects and lighting.

Logo

Here's my progress so far with my logo element...

I have done several other pages of ideas but i thought i would post one to show where I'm at.

Tutorial - Sword

Another tutorial i followed to help improve my skills in 3D Studio Max.

Avatar - Body

A render of my Avatars body which i currently at the first stage. I have yet to edit the hands and arms but I just wanted to create a base model to work with.

Avatar - Leg

I've attempted to start my Avatars body and I'm currently creating the legs.

Box/Showcase Element Ideas

Just thought i would post my ideas on my element ideas and what stage I'm at.

AV Element - Thinking of remixing a song or doing a pixilation of myself.

Logo - Done a few designs but still needs allot of work.

Avatar - Currently creating my Avatars head, still need to do the body

Website - I'm still designing the website but Ive purchased a webspace and Ive got to wait a few days until i can upload anything.

Other Element - Still thinking about what to do for this.

Showcase Ideas

Various sketches of ideas for my Showcase/Elements.

Biped Man

Today with Andy Love we had to rig a Biped man using 3D Studio Max. Im going to edit it later but for now im going to post my first attempt.

Tutorial - Computer Monitor

To get used to 3D Studio Max I decided to find a random easy tutorial to see if I could do a low poly model.

Car Modding - UVW Editor

Today we were given a model of a car which we had to customise in own own way. We were given the body but with Andys guide we were shown how to use Photoshop to make better textures for our models.

Basic Human Model

Today we had to create a basic model of a human using Low Poly blocks. Once we had been shown how to go about it I could believe how simple it was to do.

My Mood Board

I Quickly came up with a mood board which isnt the mood board for my Box/Showcase but is just for pure inspiration. I am goin to do do a uptodate version containing fewer images and trying to get some sort of a theme going.

On this mood board I have alot of varied content including games, comedy, football, cars, food and girls.

I havent yet got an idea for my Box.Showcase but am going to come up with another mood board and brainstorm some ideas.
