task 2 - 45* axonometric

For Task 2 I was asked to photograph my  model at a 45 degree angle. Tracing the picture with tracing paper , scanning it and bringing it into Photoshop again for a Black and White 400 dpi touch up , making the lines look dark, nice and sharp.

Task 1- quick photo-montages

First task of the year was bringing in our 5 min models into Photoshop and creating fast photo-montages in less than an hour per picture. Great exercise for practicing your Photoshop skills , I find scale , and perspective the hardest things to get right on Photoshop, but I guess more practicing and time  will make them perfect. Always work with layers, having the History tool box on the side of your computer screen makes life easier so you can track your mistakes and adjusting the image resolution of your final presentation can make a dramatic difference.

4.77 min model

Interlocking + Spatial=  Quick Model

(cartridge paper,masking tape)

The whole idea of this exercise was to  create a quick model in less than 5 min. Interlocking and Spatial were the two words to keep in mind while creating this conceptual model. Its a lot harder than what it looks , but when you just get on with it and let your hands do the thinking, you can really surprise yourself,well  I did.
