Silhouettes

I'm planning on using these little silhouette men to show how the people float above the canvas and go through tubes because It links to how I used them in the diagram and I think with a grey background it would look really cool








Makeshift homless umbrella



One of my characters is going to be homeless so I decided to make an umbrella appropriate for being homeless. I'm also going to get him to hold a blanket and wear old op shop looking clothes

Final 4


This is my final 4 images

I decided to leave the white background because I think enhances the black foam board and any colour I chose just made it look messy cause there's such chaos in the loop

This is what I wanted my images to look like

I really wanted this to be my 4 images as I think the fourth one represents my ideas more than the one I had to go with
I had a mishap with the R-drive and couldn't put this one onto it so I had to go with a different one. I think this one shows the structure turning into nouse more because the last one is looped 200 times where as the one I went with is only looped 65 times
Also you can see the yellowy roofed house more in 4th of this one which I think differentiates it from the others

Also the gaps in the second and third images break up the noise and add an element of structure into it, which I like

I'm still proud of the one I chose but I'm quite disappointing that this didn't get to be my final but just know that this is what I had :)

First batch of houses


This is the layout of my houses in their first position
I think it shows structure as they're placed in three rows but slightly scattered
I think the structure of my piece is predominantly within the forms of the houses and the noise is based on how the houses are looped and when overlapped they grow and rise.

I think it looks quite aesthetically pleasing and interesting and I really am pleased I decided to make them 3D over 2D cause it makes it look more chaotic and noisy in the third and fourth images

House development

With this one i've just elongated the width of my basic house and added another roof. I've kept the door a simple colour to make it look slightly realistic  and blend in

With this one I wanted to change it up completely
Aswell as doubling the original houses width I've added a sun room and changed the stroke colour of the house as the black was becoming too aggressive and prominant when I loop my houses

House development

I'm starting to play around with different colours etc with the same shapes. This is a long version of my red roofed house and turned the base shape has been turned beige. I think subtle colours are they way to go with this

I'm adding garages to some of my houses for variation
Also colour changes are important to show that my forms are repeating and doubling up through the latter images


Trying to build my houses and figure out how to loop







My idea is to have a lot of cute little colourful houses like the ones in my precedent image but have them on a loop so it gets chaotic and looks like it's a shack community. I'd have more colours than pink and yellow as these are just my practice houses. I like the shack idea because they're easy to make and still look like houses, and also it's actually what the houses of where I'm replicating are. It might be risky to do this idea but I really think it's different and original so I'll see

First Attempt

Wellington vs Italy



I think wellington houses show a story of colonisation a bit more than the shacks of Italy and cool potentially look really cool if I can code them well enough. Both of the layouts of the city have the same gradient in house distribution so they could both look good as a final image
I think the main difference is the colours. Wellington colours are a lot more dull where as the italy colours are super expressive and vibrant . There are aspects of colour in wellington which could work better because it's less in your face and more clean and simple -  which I like a lot when designing stuff.
If I were to do the wellington houses I could have a few pastel houses and coloured roofs so it's exciting but not too much

Original concepts & house designs



I'd quite like my houses to start minimal and then progressively slope up the hill to show it's a community. I'd like the first houses to be larger then the next ones to show it's on an angle and it moving further away from the view point.

These are just rough sketches on what i'd like the overall images to look like
I want a variety of houses and maybe even a church just to make it look like a town
I want it all to look cartoony but now I'm not sure about the pastel colour's I had before as I think they might be too much. I'd possibly like to have off whites and cremes to make it relate to wellington houses as they also slope up hill aswell.
