Week Three: Class One

In this class i created 5 of my new 7 images displayed below. After drawing our 7 design principles in 3D images we then went into Google SketchUp to make them more interesting. I played around with color and shadowing on some in class and then just plain 3D shapes on others. I then went home and for independent study finished off the last two images. Unfortunately i forgot how to do shadowing on the ground behind the 3D shape and only on the image itself could i show darker and lighter from the 'sun'. I tried to look it up on youtube but there must have been something wrong with the image itself? I will need to ask my teacher next class and practice using it :)

Google SketchUp: Datum 3D

Here is my original image for the design principle - Datum. After I turned it into a 3D image i have now expanded it using Google SketchUp into a colour 3D image. 

Google SketchUp: Figure/Ground 3D

Here is my original image for the design principle - Figure/Ground. After I turned it into a 3D image i have now expanded it using Google SketchUp into a colour 3D image. I have also used shadowing in this image on the brick structure itself but could not remember how to so shadows on the ground :(

Google SketchUp: Hierarchy 3D

Here is my original image for the design principle - Hierarchy. After I turned it into a 3D image i have now expanded it using Google SketchUp into a computer 3D image.

Google SketchUp: Contrast 3D

Here is my original image for the design principle - Contrast. After I turned it into a 3D image i have now expanded it using Google SketchUp into a computer 3D image.

Google SketchUp: Proportion 3D

Here is my original image for the design principle - Proportion. After I turned it into a 3D image i have now expanded it using Google SketchUp into a computer 3D image.

Google SketchUp: Repetition 3D

Here is my original image for the design principle - Repetition. After I turned it into a 3D image i have now expanded it using Google SketchUp into a computer 3D image.

Google SketchUp: Symmetry 3D.

Here is my original image for the design principle - Symmetry. After I turned it into a 3D image i have now expanded it using Google SketchUp into a colour 3D image. I have also used shadowing in this image.

3D Images

The 7 new images below are my developments from my original 7 design principles into 3D images. After repeated patterns and google sketch up we were told to turn our original 7 images into 3D images. i hope you enjoy.

Week Two: Class Two

The 3 images below are my images using Google SketchUp. Making a sphere and cone from the instructions on the spatial design blog and playing around on my own :)

Google SketchUp Practice

Today in class we watched multiple tutorials on how to use google sketchup. Here i have been playing around using the techniques i learnt today - such as using the pull/push tool to pull things up, in and out. Also i have used the circle and rectangular shaped tools to create 3d objects. 

Using Google Sketchup: Sphere

Today in class we watched multiple tutorials on how to use google sketchup. Here i have made a sphere using the techniques i learnt today.

Using Google Sketchup: Cone

Today in class we watched multiple tutorials on how to use google sketchup. Here i have made a cone using the techniques i learned today.

Week Two: Class One (extension)

The 3 images below are some more repeated patterns in more detail then my originals. I finished my classwork early so  decided to make some of my repeated patterns a little more interesting.

Repeated pattern: datum. Detailed version

Here i have taken my repeated pattern for datum and have created it into a new repeated pattern. Instead of following the instructions on the spatial design blog, for this particular pattern i created datum out of datum. I have also added some colour into this repeated pattern for more detail and aesthetics. 

Repeated pattern: repetition. Detailed version

Here i have taken my repeated pattern for repetition and have added in some new layers which are overlapping to create more detail in my pattern.

Repeated pattern: symmetry. Detailed version

Here i have taken my repeated pattern for symmetry and have added in some new layers which are overlapping to create more detail in my pattern.

Week Two: Class One

In the last class using photoshop i refined all of my 7 images showing the design principles we were given at the start of the term. The 7 images below are my repeated patterns which is the next step for each image after refining them. After this i will play with colour and overlapping. :)

Repeated pattern: datum

After refining my original image of datum i have now turned it into a repeated pattern.

Repeated pattern: figure/ground

After refining my original image of figure/ground i have now turned it into a repeated pattern.

Repeated pattern: hierarchy

After refining my original image of hierarchy i have now turned it into a repeated pattern.

Repeated pattern: contrast

After refining my original image of contrast i have now turned it into a repeated pattern.

Repeated pattern: proportion

After refining my original image of proportion i have now turned it into a repeated pattern.

Repeated pattern:repetition

After refining my original image of repetition i have now turned it into a repeated pattern.

Repeated pattern: symmetry

After refining my original image of symmetry i have now turned it into a repeated pattern.

Week One: Class Two

The 7 images below are my refined images for each individual design principle. After discussing with my teacher and classmates these were the ones i chose to best reflect the design principles.

Refined image of Datum

This is my cleaned up and refined image showing the design principle datum.

Refined image of Figure/Ground

This is my cleaned up and refined image showing the design principle figure/ground.

Refined image for Hierarchy

This is my cleaned up and refined image showing the design principle hierarchy.

Refined imge of Contrast

This is my cleaned up and refined image showing the design principle contrast.

Refined image of Proportion

This is my cleaned up and refined image showing the design principle proportion.
