BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY AND PLACEMENT YEAR
PLACEMENT YEAR AT FOURDOT (DIGITAL DESIGNER)
during my placement year at fourdot my main duties were creating graphics both for print and for web. on the left, you can see the advert i created which was printed in a range of magazines including cosmopolitan.
my other responsibilities included creating content for and managing social media channels, designing one-off bespoke orders to a client’s brief, image retouching and designing graphics and illustrations used for number plates.
the software i mainly used was adobe photoshop, illustrator and indesign.
PHOTO REALISM RENDERING
below you can see renders from my photo realism course in my final year. the brief was to recreate images from IKEA’s website, as around 70% of these images are renders not photographs. to do this I used 3ds max to model the chair and adobe photoshop to retouch the image which i enjoyed the most. can you guess which images are mine?
MODELLING AND ANIMATION
below you can see two examples of my modelling and animation skills.
the peeta lamp animation brief was to model an existing product in 3ds max and create a product video for it in adobe after effects. i decided to add some humour to it and create characters rather than just products. please give it a watch, it always makes me smile!
for my final design project i designed a beach shelter in between bournemouth and boscombe pier. the aim was to create a safe place for people to take shelter and rest during their walk. the design was inspired by a cocoon and details include the soundwave of the waves as the window. the smaller windows around the window were inspired by the shapes in the sand, with no two being identical. this was modelled and animated in 3ds max, with some finishing touches being made in adobe after effects.
