Brain storm ideas for my desk top project




This is my brainstorm I have made for my desktop project I have covered most basic parts for a suitable backgorund image. I have highlighted the most important parts of the brainstorm with a star next to it. Adding images to this makes it more appealing and better. I will always refer back to this for when I need ideas during desktop construction.

My first animation I did on Studio Max. I used the bend modifier to distort the words and eventually they rotate into their original position.

The star was extruded to look 3D. I used the total of 9 keyframes for the animation, since this is my first time making an animation, it wasn't the best but next time it I will improve on this.




Another practice with Studio Max, the results were great but the whole process of doing it was quite frustrating.


The font was Carminsa. I attached the hexagon to the text, and after I extruded them and I manually inserted the star and I had to manually extrude that.

Considering the background is black I changed the colour of the hexagon to blue so it wouldn't clash and now I can see that it has a nice 3D effect.

More Studio Max work



Some more examples of the practice I have had, I like these images have they have been put into a screenshot from an angle. This helps as looking at the same thing from a perspective helps add visual satisfaction.

Studio Max practice




Just some practicing with Studio Max if you look closley to one of the images you will see an atom teapot. This work is for Unit's 64 and 65.

Genre Collage



This is a Collage I did at college at the start of the year. We had four genres which we had to find images for. There were Horror, Sci-fi, Fantasy and War.

I like the giant robot.

And if you look at the horror part you can see Tingle from The Legend Of Zelda and yes he is scary.

This is part of my desktop project it's to give some ideas on what desktop image should look like and what content it should contain.
