Laser cut

The image above is the laser cut that i want to portray on my poster. The material being used is boxboard and the reason i chose this certain material is that the laser burns the material therefore it reflects on my creature's character of fire and burning things. So the large black areas were going to be etched in and have a burnt effect.

Due to timing issues, i was unable to laser cut my original design. The original design would have taken too long and would have been quite expensive due to largeness of the black areas. So to speed up the process of my lasercut, i had to change the design and make the outline of the building be etched in.

Significant Architecture

Maha Nakhon in Bangkok, Thailand

This building is a proposed architecture that will be built in 2012. Even though the building is not built yet, the images created to portray the building have captured how the building will stand in everyday lifestyle. The image above has a visual style that enables viewers to immediately identify what the focal point is and they can understand what the image is.

This image above creates a "feel" for viewers in how there lifestyle would be if they were situated in the building. By visually creating the proposed building in a close up shot then having the city as a background allows the viewer to be drawn into the image. Therefore, this visual style invites to be the viewer a part of the image

Whale Beach House in Sydney, Australia

The visual techniques of the two images above show the largeness and creativity of the building. The angle of the shot shows the great aspects of the By portraying the house in the daytime and night time enables a viewer to see that the aspects of the house are beautifully constructed throughout an entire day.

The large interior shot creates a view and a sense of feeling of what the rest of the interior of the house looks like. The large and long landscape shot enables viewer to identify the plan and how everything fits in. I like how within one shot there is a great amount of information taken away from the image.

Augmented Reality

This is my second attempt at Augmented Reality. Now this time i was able to get my sketch up model into the program

This was my testing of using Augmented Reality. The version on emustore was for windows and i use a mac therefore, using this different style of augmented reality was different. I could not get the sketchup plugin for it so i couldn't use the sketchup building i created.

Sketchup

I decided to change the creature i wanted to create an environment for. I like the ideas i had for the creature Dragon. These included living in a dwelling of a castle that was surrounded by forest and fire to match his steamed and angry personality.
