Project 1 - Pre Production

PRACTICAL
For our Project 1 of Vehicle and Prop Design, we were tasked with designing and coming up with a concept for a vehicle and prop that we will continue to develop and design. Since this is my second retake of this module, I already know what is expected and what I plan to do.

Figure 1.1: Design Mood Board / Ideas

For my vehicles, I decided to go for a hoverbike for land, a houseboat / junk for sea, and a jet drone for air. As for the props, I toyed between designing a lever-action rifle and a hand-cannon since I knew I wanted to do firearms as my prop. In the end I decided to go for the hoverbike and lever-action rifle since those were the two I felt the most confident and most invested in.

Figure 1.2: Vehicle Sketches

I decided to start with designing the vehicle first since I had some ideas in my head already. I started off doing sketches of motorbikes and then proceeded to alter their designs bit by bit, changing and altering certain shapes until I found something that I liked as seen at the bottom of Figure 1.2. After showing what I had, Mr. Kannan me that it wasn't enough and to do more, however I didn't want to keep going back over and over again so I just decided to move forward regardless.

Figure 1.4: Blender Vehicle Screenshot

After looking at the hoverbike, I realized that it felt too angular and realistically would be very dangerous to ride in. Additionally the design just felt off to me so I went ahead and redesigned it, altering some aspects before deciding to move to blender where I could more easily create what I had in mind. Using the model I created in Figure 1.4, I used that as my base for how I wanted the design to look as I wanted a heavy front on the hoverbike as the main aspect.

Figure 1.5: Vehicle Color Variation

After completing the new design that I decided to stick with, I went back and decided to experiment with different color palettes to see what would look nice. I already had one in mind but I felt like I should at least experiment and see what looks good.

Figure 1.6: Vehicle Turnaround

With the coloring done, I decided to do a quick turnaround design for the vehicle just to see and show what it would look like. When I presented this to Mr. Kannan, he explained to me that this is only just the base of the design and that I can further improve on it by adding a lot more to it, thus leading into Project 2.

The objective was to recreate these designs in Adobe InDesign using the content given in the MIB. We were also instructed to watch the InDesign demonstration videos in the lecture playlist for guidance and assistance . We were also given these guidelines to follow: - Size 200 x 200 mm - Colours: Black and additional colour - Minor graphical elements Initial Process Before I started designing each of the systems, I decided to create all of the pages that I'd be using to design the different systems and their variations. I also decided to do three designs per sys...

As someone who has played this game since it first came out, I am quite familiar with it and have already had many ideas about original characters, but I have never had the time to truly flesh them out. For Task 1, we had to start by creating and coming up with the concepts for our character. I decided to make my character be an Eremite commando and respected warrior inspired by the Fremen from the Dune series as I was obsessed with the franchise at the time. From there I started collecting reference photos for what I wanted to have in my character's design. Figure 1.1: Character References I also wanted for my character to have some connections to one of...

Figure 1.1: Mood Board I started off by creating a mood board for what I wanted to create for this module. I wanted to have an old religious building, like a cathedral or a church, in the middle or near a mountain range that looks abandoned or empty. I loosely based this concept off of an idea from a personal project of mine where there is a massive church-like building connected into a mountain. Figure 1.2: Invisible Set Extension Idea 1 For the first idea, I wanted to have a massive cathedral be the main centerpiece of this design and have a pathway leading to it down the middle. I man...
