2D Typo: Last update!

With less than 72 hours to submissions… here is my final update.

3D ARTIST

Based on the reference image above, I have started researching on a easier and/or more generative way of creating this in 3D. I have finally decided attempt this style, a trend in 2015, called LOW-POLY ART.

MountStar – Behance

I chanced upon a tutorial on a simplified way of creating these, and seemed like Cinema 4D is the way to go. With reference to the first image, I fired up C4D and created my name on a landscape, and here is the output.

JUSTIN low-poly

The typeface is created from selecting random polygons and extruding them, so its kinda like a handmade font. I am now attempting to convert or incorporate this into a pop up card for the final piece so… yep, I still have a little more to go..

VFX ARTIST

For the VFX image, I have already completed and printed onto my transparencies. (pardon the photo quality, my phone broke)

I am still thinking of a way to mount these together to create a some z-space in between each layers to create a parallax effect. Since its transparencies, I cannot use thick double sided tape and might have to use the left over transparencies instead.

LOVE DETAILS/EYE FOR DETAILS

Yep, I might be changing “love details” to “have an eye for details”. These will be based on papercuttings, definitely. I have yet to start on them, so here is some research.

As allways, freehand cut within the shape of a circle ◉

I should be going for a more geometric look (purely shapes or lines) for these patterns found on the cutouts. The lines will be fairly thin, creating a intricate overall design.

STUDENT

Here is some research on coffee painting that I might be referencing.

I might start my base of this piece with splatters of coffee, then adding these things I have used (the things I have already collected) throughout the entire period of creating all the other compositions in this “student” piece. This will only be done last after I have completed the other 3/4 of the typographic compositions.

With this, I’ll end off here with a cool website called Type to Design that I have chanced upon. The next post will be on my completed product! Stay tuned.

Typo update… not so much

So this week I did not progress much: I have only finalized all my concepts and have to start experimenting and executing them.

VFX ARTIST:

First off, it’s the VFX concept. I have made use of transparencies and tracing papers and have already experimented on a prototype:

vfx-con

This was purely a test and I was pretty happy with the result, but my I have to try with colours this time and will need even more experimenting because of the translucency of each colours as compared to black ink. Here is a work-in-progress:

vfx-d
20% progress…

3D ARTIST:

WALL ART: Still Life Comes Alive

For 3D Artist, I will be creating a digital 3D piece with a 3D program – looking something like the wall art image above, but a more simplified version, so that I can try to push this concept further by incorporating this into a pop-up card, if possible.

A really simplified version of a pop-up card would be something like the image above, with the digital work being printed out onto a layer and cut with another design to form an “illusion” layer popup.

As for student, I will be using coffee, spoons, redbull??, wrappers, McDonald, etc – things that a student will use for studying or chionging work to create a typeface. I have already started collecting some of these materials, and I will start on them soon so stay tune for my next update(s)!
