Vodka texture on 3D max





 
We have experimented with a word,  I chosen vodka  because it was catchy to see like that and different use text tool typed in one letter V, Then copy and paste it right click move then moved it  went back to text tool change the second v to an O and the same again for D, K, and A, 
I then messed around with the spotlight to see how it would look at different angles but I found the correct one by rotating the word so I could see it from bird eye view then checked it out then it would be better for the shadow behind the word, and created a master piece with the word vodka.
I'm really impressed how it came with out with images of vodka labels i took off of Google to put on to the letters, 
My best piece of work so far =]

3D max

Move scale and rotate X and Y axis
We had an introduction to 3d max with basic rotations and scale and move the object around
 Use of typography  in 3d max using the text box then messed around with the settings adding shadow subtracting shadow expanding the length and size of the text changing the colour of the text 

 Used the box then vertex,  polygon  used extrude to create longer blocks or in wards blocks  get dots to form a box when girded select them then use vertisments 

 Changed the colour of the box to purple then  went to modify to change the settings to turbo smooth pressed 7 to see how many polygons i had used for this piece of work 8,192

vents 4.098 every time i go past a surten  number the six its crashes the programme so then i have reload up the programme (Iteration numbers needs to be below six)

Graffiti artist Roy Christie

This afternoon i was listening and taking an interest in to Roy the graffiti artist, He made me experiment with types of style and techniques of using and pencil and a pen but i imagen my holding a spray can and a wall, so i can put myself into Roy's persition as he is the graffiti artist before we started the experiments, He told us about how graffiti started in the 60's the by the 80's  how about people were treated differently from being ingored by talking but when they grabbed a can it was different they were heard, Some older generations may well think it looks horrible but our cities look dull without any colour on the walls graffiti is just art but its can also be illegal if you don't get the permission from the city council. He was really down to earth Roy was he told us how he started off just painting with paint brush when he was eight years old, then he told us how he met some one graffitti artist, What he has done for communities how he helped out Devonport high school, His inspirations the positives and negative of them and explained why he liked/disliked them. In all a very good workshop i want more of them.


big thanks to Mars and Lee =]

Research On Graffitti

References-http://library.thinkquest.org/04oct/01253/history.html
History- Graffiti has been around for millions of years. Romans wrote on the walls of buildings they conquered and cave men drew illustrations on cave walls, although graffiti has not been in the United States quite that long. Graffiti first became big in New York and spread through other states. It started as tagging or writing your name on a street sign. Then gangs used graffiti as a way to mark territory. Not long after, graffiti became a form of art. It inspired young artists to come out and use this new art as a form of self expression. Whatever mood they were feeling they were able to make somthing beautiful. Lee Quinones, one of many graffiti artists, changed the grimy place near Brooklyn bridge into an incredible gallery of art.
Graffiti started moving from streets to subways and quickly became competitive. Graffiti artists had to compete for space and it inevitably offended property owners. This, and the misunderstanding that all graffiti represented gang activity, led to community pressure on polititions. But still graffiti artists strive to improve their art which is constantly changing.
Purpose- Graffiti. This is something most of us see everyday. It is all over walls and buildings downtown. My school is in the center of "Graffiti Heaven". But have you ever thought about graffiti? When you do think of graffiti, does your mind go to vandalism... or art? Yes, there is plenty of graffiti that is rude and disrespectful. But it can be used for good. For art. Art is a good way to express your true feelings. It is the same with graffiti. Some of us might not view graffiti as art, but, believe it or not, it is.
Graffiti is a form of self-expression and creativity. Some graffiti artists might be angry at something or someone. They take it out on the walls. Some people paint graffiti just to be vandalizing. Gangs paint graffiti to mark their territory. But some people create graffiti with a hidden message. Some people make graffiti with a purpose- to let out their feelings and to add a bit of color in everyone's lives. I know whenever I walk downtown, I see mostly colorful graffiti. Graffiti that is not disresepctful.
Some people are actually paid to paint graffiti. For example, the TATS CRU in New York is known as the Mural Kings for painting graffiti in subways and streets. The TATS CRU is sometimes paid to advertise on the street walls with their graffiti. The TATS CRU is another example of ways graffiti can be used.

Typography

 Different style of types of Typography



 typography is everywhere nowadays  Carson still manages to communicate both the idea and the feeling behind his design. His extensive use of combinations of typographic elements and photography led many designers to completely change their work methods and graphic designers from all around the world base their style on the new “standards” that have distinguished Carson’s work. Carson is most famous for his ability to create spreads that even with little content seem to be substantive. Carson’s work is familiar among the generation that grew up with Ray gun Magazine and its progeny such as huh and xceler8, and in general, the visually savvy MTV generation, but his work still receives criticism from a generation that refuses to engage with his connotative excesses.

My investigation on the Camera and two other methods of capture



The first cameras were enormous. Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680) in a book written in 1646, described one which consisted of an outer shell with lenses in the centre of each wall, and an inner shell containing transparent paper for drawing; the artist needed to enter by a trapdoor.

·         1814
Joseph Niepce achieves first photographic image with 
camera obscura - however, the image required eight hours of light exposure and later faded.

Capture

- Choose three methods of capture for this afternoon
-Organise your final method -camera
- Investigate one capture method ( Only a Brief)
