Media Assignment #4
For this assignment, I wanted to try all of the different techniques demoed during the past couple of weeks. Many of these images are loosely based on my studio project, but were chosen because they demonstrate something I learned.
For this site section, I cut through a model of Portland with my building inserted. I then took the section cut into Illustrator where I edited the colors of the buildings. Then I moved it to Photoshop to add the background sky image.
This perspective section illustrates a typical bay in my building. I used SketchUp (and SketchUp components from the web) to make the model, then I used Illustrator and Photoshop to add in the section cuts and person.
This was one of my first renders using IDX Renditioner. l tried to get a view into a studio from the hallway so I could determine if windows facing in were a good idea.
I used this room to learn a lot about Photoshop. I added the textures to all of the interior surfaces, then added gradients, people, and shadows.
This was an attempt at lighting my space in the evening.
Great technical exploration and work with all the different tools. As a next step I would pick one or two techniques and use it to try to improve images, or get really good at creating some type of drawing or image. You have a strong command of computers and ability to learn computers, find an example of a image style you like and see if you can do the same.
For the images you’ve shown, the thing I’d consider changing is the line weight of your site section. Look through some graphic standards books and develop a variety of weights.
