Environment Design

Environment Design

This was the module I was looking forward to, I feel like I am best at creating environments, at least artwork of them, this module allowed me many ways to learn how to create environments more effectively, My dream is to be like Feng Zhu or James Zapata one day and a lot of the techniques they use I attempted in this module

Looking at Clouds
This is a technique used by Feng Zhu, in which he takes samples of environments and throws them around nonsensically in Photoshop to help create a new idea. This are my attempts at this:

All these images have been created by using already existing images to create something new, this is the Looking at Clouds technique

Some other techniques I tried during this module

All in the progress of generating Ideas.

Some of the other early designs I did to simply get a feel for what I wanted to get out of this module, I really wanted to learn new things about Environment design so I tried many new ways of creating, the following images are designs I created either using 3D or other programs like Painter.




I had a visualization of green and large wide open spaces  for this module, But using other ways to create environments is something I would like have not done without the module brief.

I love this module a lot and I feel like my final was good, the only problem was this module guide was given to us at a point where we only had a single lesson, so all the work was done mostly by myself without lecturer support, this personally different bother me as I like working alone, but having some input could have been helpful

This is the final piece for this module;

 SWOT 
Strengths
This module although short was the one I had been most comfortable with my greatest strength is my environment design, I was able to relax and just get creative without worrying too much about the end result.

Weaknesses
I don't really have a weakness for this, or nothing that really effected my progress other then the fact we only had one lesson that really talked about Environment design, but I am not  using that as an excuse because I feel like I was confident enough to work using my own knowledge.

Opportunities
I normally create  environment designs similar to the ones I created for this assignment, but I did learn to use 3DS max to help with perspective and lighting,

Threats
We were given this module close to its hand in, so we felt rushed.
