My Logo Design

Here are a couple of pictures showing the production of my logo design.

First of all this website is a great source of news from the entertainment part of the world. With live feeds from games, movies, music and many others. I really like the layout because it provides the user with some interaction with the website, such as the rotatable slides to look through the different news that is usually updated daily. 

This Website is also great as it sponsors many other websites that are important. Also once you have clicked on a link, it provides you with a list on the left side which 

www.123klan.com is an excellent website that truely shows the persons work. Throughout the whole website, its designed to represent the owner, a grafitti artists with influences from old school hip hop. I like the way this website connects all together and the way it shows the true identity of its owner.

My Avatar...

For my Avatar, I have been experimenting with the different hairstyles. Now truthfully I'm not considering having a mohawk for my avatar however learning how to create different hairstyles will come in handy in the near future. So here are a couple of rendered pictures of my avatar with different hairstyles.

Sketches...

Just a couple of pictures of my sketches for my animation video.

Part of my box...

Below is a picture taken from the animation i'm creating for my box. Its a fight scene between two robots. These pictures have been rendered but not to a top level quality.

Research...?

Research is such a powerful tool if your able to apply it correctly. Researching specifically (Interim) or whether its exploring (Exploratory) can take you to different places as depth is an important part for applying research as well a broadened knowledge.  If was to choose one starting point that I felt i was more drawn to it would have to be 'in front of' as its what the viewers collect from what you have shown them in which i believe is an extremely important part of research as you can receive feedback from the work done. This allows for specific tweaking which initially improves the work solidly.  I feel weary of 'in/through' as for me i find it hard sometimes to visualize someone else's work and how it all came together, as it was their own creativity that brought all their work together to create the final product and for me, the only person who can understand their work truly is the creator.  'For' research would be my choice if i was to pick a type of reseach that I feel is irrelevant. This is due to 'For' research being what else is happening in other disciplines, and therefore being less valuable information as the work being researched should be the main focus, however the 'For' research still plays an important role.

My Creaivity...?

For the past couple of years, since i can remember drawing in my art classes in high school, i've always allowed my creativity to explode on paper. I've always enjoyed brainstorming by sketching, as it really disables all barriers to what the mind wants to create. But as i look back, i've realised that throughout my years at school, i've only used my creativity when needed, for a project or when i was told to do so. Who has it been for? When i've thought about my life during school and A levels I realised that my creativity was for the purpose of my work, to achieve the highest possible grade. However since the start of university i've applied my creativity for both myself and my work.  My future? Im hoping to apply my creativity towards animation as thats where i hope i find myself in the future, but also i'd like to apply it to my own hobbies such as graphic design and sketching.

1st 3D model

My first 3D model of a figure.

7 Pounds...?

I just watched the highly anticipated movie produced by Will Smith called 7 Pounds. I have to admit that I was extremely glued into the movie from the beginning to the end although there were some downfalls. 7 pound's actual story line is excellent with a great deal of mystery and confusion from the beginning to the end, which got me glued into trying to figure out his actual occupation and intentions. Some bits in the movie really portrayed extreme situations, filled with anger, love and also passion. I found out, however after the second time that i had watched it, some of the faults that really bring the movie down. To start off with, the movie is way too long. It carry's on for a long time with no answers despite the fact that it is all explained in the end, which I thought really brings down the quality of this movie. Everyone that I have watched it with enjoyed the movie, but just felt it carried on a bit more then it should have. Also I didn't really understand why he had committed suicide using a jellyfish. Surely the shockwaves of the jellyfish could cause some harm to internal organs which defeats the whole purpose of the movie. Although overall, I thought the movie was great and I really enjoyed it, and I would suggest the movie to anyone to watch atleast once, and at most once. 

3d Max...

My first animation ever. Using 3D max, we've just started to create 3d animation clips. I've found out that even though 3D max may look complicated, it's sole base of being a animation program it's actually quite simple. However it still maintains it power for editing, controlling, lighting, etc... Below shown is the short clip I have created with my name bouncing and a ball flying around. This was just to learn the basis of 3D max and its capabilities. However with further experience I am hoping to create many more animations to a higher standard with the help of the tutorials from both 3D max and www.youtube.com.

3D Design

Recently i've been interested in learning how to create my own 3d figure model. Im using a program named Poser 7 which is a good program for beginners to 3d figure design such as myself. It has many functions and capabilities in creating your own character, such as different skins, a variety of body figures, body positioning and many other options, that go into very specific detail. Soon enough I should have my 1st 3d figure model completed in a movie, hopefully by the end of this week.

Graphics

During the recent Christmas break, i've become addicted to adobe photoshop and the power that it contains. Graphic design has always been one of my favourite types of media and its only recently that i've really started working with the program and trying to understand its capabilities. Shown below are a couple of pieces that i've composed during my time of understanding photoshop.
