Layout and reflection
Before this course, I have played the game Spore and saw many Spore creature which made by other people use creator online. So I have some experience to do the creature. When I started this assignment, I found there was a little different. For game, we made the creatures to fight. And in assignment we made the creature should refer to the idea of an architect’s building. So we should find the design idea of a building first. And then, we would accord the idea to do the spore creature. So we should consider the idea of the building and architect and the characteristic of them. After finish the creatures, we should make a building which living for the creature and the environment. At first, we should draw the draft on the paper. Because of my bad hand drawing, my idea maybe cannot show clearly. But I could present it on the models and images. I used 3Dsmax to do the building model and Sandbox to do the environment. These two tools I have been used, so I could use them without learn. And the building and environment also should accord to the design idea. In this assignment, I meet another new technology which called augmented reality. Augmented reality is a term for a live direct or an indirect view of a physical, real-world environment. I found this technology is very magic. It could put dummy model into the real environment. I have try many time put into BuildAR and found it is so interesting. In this assignment, it helps us to improve the ability to understand the design idea of other architect.
Week 5
I do not found any poster from Norman Robert Foster, but I found a poster about him and his project by other people.At the first, the poster has very clear layout to present the idea. The heading used very bid style word to give the theme of the poster. And the main body texts used smaller word style. However, the main body texts are not all same style. The author used bigger style word to present the more important idea or words. All texts in the poster are black on the white paper, which lets the audiences to concentrated reading in a specific area but not in different separate parts, helps the readers to read more easy and give a clearly direction about where to start. And the author gives a very large image of Norman Robert Foster to emphasize the theme.
