Light and Scale For my refined model, I wanted to use artificial lighting when photographing, opposed to the natural lighting I'd used when photographing my original paper and cardboard models. While natural light gave off a soft & natural look, it didn't allow me to capture vivid shadows the same way artificial lighting did. With my desk lamp I was able to emulate lighting during different times of the day by changing the direction of light source, or by rotating/moving my model. First, I took these photos with the louvre roof. I experimented with the shadow it would create by rotating my model and moving the light around. I then went on to take photos of my model  without  the louvre roof. This allowed me to show more of the inside space.   After taking some photos of my model I decided to try capturing light and scale in another way. By turning on the live feature on my camera, I took multiple photos while moving my light...

Week 5: Studio Activity Before starting on my paper model, I recorded the dimensions of my room and jotted down the scaled dimensions. I chose the scale 1:30 because it suited the materials I would be using, without the model having to be floppy because it's too big, or inaccurate because it's too small.  Paper Model: [Scale, 1:30] Using paper as a material had its pros and cons. While it was easy to cut and fold, its thinness made it difficult to create a rigid structure. In order to create a more inflexible structure, I glued several pieces of paper together to form the base. This made it a lot easier to glue tabs to the bottom on the model and ensure that the walls would remain stiff.  Cardboard Model: [Scale, 1:30]   Cardboard was much harder to cut and fold than the paper, but it was also a lot easier to create a rigid structure. Both materials created a difference when photographing the models, as the paper let much m...

Week 4: Final Compositions Our group decided to evenly divide up workload between each member, meaning each of us had to complete our individual tasks i.e. photoshop, infographic, orthographic, scanning photographs/drawings. I was in charge of combining the photoshop images. I found this task quite difficult, as It wasn't easy to make the images blend seamlessly, but unlike the others, I didn't have to accommodate to a colour scheme.
