Post Formative: Speculative Futures

Post Formative Speculative Futures   With the initial idea for my speculative futures project being a multi sensual outcome hitting a bit of  a dead end, I decided to reword the outcome for this brief. After creating my out comes for genealogies and imminent self using Cinema4d I started to enjoy working with the software, I wanted to explore, expand and develop my skills with it.  Experimenting with the Emitter Tool. The first experiment I did with the emitter tool was creating a 10 second animation of multi coloured pills falling onto plane, this was a standard creation of placing 5 emitters above the render camera.   The next experiment was created by hollowing out the pill object and placing an emitter with a child sphere shape. The idea was to have the emitter fill the pill and the top part of the pill lift up after a short amount of time this would result in the spheres exploding which can be seen in the 5 second clip below. The next experiment was ad

Post Formative: Imminent Self

Post Formative Imminent Self SO I MADE A ROBOT ARM. Imminent self felt like it was one of my most insufficient projects this year, with a lot of confusion regarding the brief combined with little confidence of being able to meet the brief with a relevant outcome and the motivation to do so. During my formative I discussed my idea about bridging the imminence of technology with self in the form of human augmentation and advancements, the initial outcome was a tall order. I wanted to create a fictional company inspired by the genre of cyberpunk that advertised human augmentation. the initial ideas were to create multi media outcomes to project immersion but one thing I didn't take into consideration was time and having to juggle other projects. It's something that I have to develop upon. Also I talked about a potential secondary idea that I was thinking about but it had a lot of dead ends. I decided to stick with the augmentation idea and after the formative I began work

Post formative: Genealogies

Post Formative Development: Genealogies. With the feedback I received from the formative assessment I wanted to expand on the idea of 'designing the uncomfortable' by adding a more personal touch to the project. An 'object' In particular that I cannot stand is the material Polystyrene or Styrofoam. I dislike the feel of it, the squeaky sound it makes when it is rubbed and how it makes such as mess when crafting with it. This is a perfect object to use for this project. I had the idea of incorporating polystyrene into the project by combining it with objects that I use on a daily basis such as a tooth brush or headphones that afford interaction. An example being a toothbrush made out of polystyrene, the thought alone of brushing polystyrene across my teeth gives me a shock down the spine. Instead of creating replicas of these objects out of polystyrene in person (because that would be torture for me) I decided to create 3D models of objects I would use on a dail

Process and Production: Creating Presentations with Jay Payne

Image
Creating Presentations For our final session with Jay we will be looking at the processes of digitally presenting our work in an effective way using Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. We will be looking at setting up work folders alongside editing scans, imagery and videos through the use of photoshop to a presentable standard. Additionally we will be looking at creating an Indesign presentation layout and looking at publishing a pdf presentation. Admittedly my presentation skills are lacking and could do with improving. Typically when creating my presentations for my formative and summative submissions I use Adobe InDesign. Hopefully in today's session I'll have a chance to improve my presentation skills given that the summative submission is within the following month, alongside applying for placements for the placement year.  Jay has provided a list of dos and don'ts when it comes to creating presentations, the list consists of:  1.
