Reflection
The first assignment is about presenting a design with Augmented Reality, which looked really difficult and complex at the beginning, however, the process of learning how to function new software throughout the tutorials made things easier, showing how things are actually coming together bit by bit.
The architect of my choice is I. M. Pei, a Chinese American who is well known for its modern architecture. And there’s one that really captured my attention, the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, the design is so bold and outstanding and it reminded me of the pyramid but this is built with glass and metal which is absolutely charming.
In the first and second week, its related to creating creatures using Spore, it was fun creating monsters, and later, coming out with words, and getting idea and inspiration from the architect, his architecture and using them to develop the creatures.
Then came the part where we have to create environments and dwellings for the creatures, the ideas generated from sketching and drawing the plans out, also referring back to the themes and words. After having a rough sketch on paper, I did the environment and habitat with Sketchup, applying different textures that show relationship with the words.
The moment I saw the architecture building- Louvre Pyramid, the word bold came to mind, and that is how I relate all my designs to, from the environment, to the markers. I want to make my designs different, as in the markers doesn’t look similar to each other. For now, I think as its approaching closer towards the submission date, it is important to go back to the previous tasks and work with the designs again to fit the markers and the idea of creating the model, showing what the model will look like on the screen through the design of the markers as well as the posters which will serve as a background.
