INTRODUCTION


EXERCISE

Perspective Studies

Perspective is crucial to environment design. If the perspective is wrong, it will affect the overall effect. As for perspective studies, I had already been exposed to them when I was doing Digital Matte Painting, so for me this exercise was to consolidate my perspective foundation and make me more proficient in using perspective. This time, I was introduced to four-point perspective.

Fig 1.2 Two-point Perspective

Fig 1.3 Three-point Perspective

Fig 1.4 Four-point Perspective

PROJECT 1

For Project 1, I decided to make the theme Cyberpunk and start to do the mood board.

Fig 8.1 Mood board

My mood board is two different types of buildings, one is full of neon lights and the other is more old-fashioned. I was a little hesitant about which type of building to choose so I tried to make the silhouette first.

Fig 8.2 Silhouette

Fig 8.2 Sketches

For the sketches, I just wanted to try and see what the effect would be, so I made a rough sketch using basic shapes.
FEEDBACK

Week 2: You can try more shapes of buildings, not just square ones.

Quick Link INTRODUCTION LECTURES Topic 6: Visual Analysis Is a method of understanding design that focuses on the visual elements and principles. A description and explanation of visual structure for its own sake.  A critical part of visual literacy, a skill that helps people read and critically interpret images How does Visual Analysis Work? Phase 1: Observation Closely looking at and identifying the visual elements of a design, trying to describe them carefully and accurately in your own words.  Do not read beforehand about the design at all.  About looking, thinking, and finding good language to communicate what you notice. Phase 2: Analysis Require...
