The Toy Company

Pre Production is a very important part when creating a website. For my flash class, we had to create a wireframes as well as pre loader designs and prepare product shots of a toy. I used a Lego Bionicle for my product which turned out looking really nice for medium quality photos. The companies name is The Toy Company. Below are 11 images of what I was able to produce.

Included are:

- Site Map
- Toy Exhibition Wire Frame
- Artist Wire Frame
- Contact Wire Frame
- Shop Wire Frame
- Shop Button Prototype
- Pre Loader 1
- Pre Loader 2
- Product Shot 1
- Product Shot 2
- Completed Toy Exhibition Page

Semester 3, and a Snowman

On September 7th 2010, Semester 3 for Digital Media Arts began. It is now my third week and I must say, the work is piling up.

Here is a Snowman I created for a small project in my Introduction to 3D class. 3ds Max 2011 is the program I used and am going to continue using for all my 3D work. I plan on having an uploaded image of a 3D Logo I'll be working on shortly.

Product Shot

Here is a Product Shot I took and edited for my final project in DMA204 - Digital Photography with Michael Curran. This is my SoundCraft Mixer and I just added a quick background swap and shadow effect done within Photoshop, Nothing Fancy.

I added the original photo to allow comparing. I really like the work I did on this photo. I would like to thank Rob Tomas (Ligament) for allowing me to use his SLR Camera.

Le Freak Show is here!

The Freak Show is here! No not really, but here is a 6 frame by frame design for a final project for my DMA234 course - Computer Imaging with Andrew Tedford.

Enjoy!



"You have been ask to create a banner series that will showcase limited edition skateboard designs created by artists. The defined style art direction has its roots in classic/ current Freak-Show poster and ticket design, some elements of rockabilly and psychobilly
punk music could also apply. You must also account for addition design influences from the underlying skateboard design concept the artist used. The final art style you design for the banner engagement will also define your art direction of a mini-brochure interactive site in phase two of this major project."

Above is a quick overview of what this project is about and the reason for the Freakshow look.

Eros Micrsosite

Here is another Webdesign project that Mike Gittans and I worked together on designing for Eros. Just some quick information from the project to give an overall view.

Robot Art

Here is a robot that I painted using Photoshop. This exersise was done using a Tablet which I had no prior experience with before attempting the painting. I found it really challenging to get used to the sensitivity and feeling of the Tablet, so I switched to my mouse to compare the differences. I of course liked using my mouse considering I've been using it for 10 years. I will add Tablets to my list of "things to learn".

I also attached a photo of the picture I got my colours from. Thank you Home Depot, I salute you.

Enjoy!
