Well you knew it was coming and here it is. It’s the Mudeford ICT Brief, this is to consolidate all the skills that you have picked up to produce an interesting array of work for display. The brief is now available from the link in the top bar labeled: PWY2 or Paperwork Year 2.
For this lesson you will also be required to fill out the following: >>>Planner<<<
So that last few weeks before term we were looking at presenting research. Today we will use that research and start creating some Cube Nets. Here are a few examples:
Here is the supporting paper handout to accompany this weeks demo: >>>Cube<<<
So as part of your Final Major Project you lucky students will be going to Chessington World of Adventures! Clare has managed to get a great price for you all but this means that you have to pay £12.75 as soon as possible! Chessington is booked for Monday 29th March.
So we begin a new term but before we do anything… lets do something different.
Here’s a cube net file that can be opened in Photoshop. Use this as a template and arrange your images accordingly.

Here's a cube I created inspired by Gilbert and George
The cube was based on CCTV’s as when we noticed quite a few whilst walking past the bars and restaurants along the river.
Last week we had a wall alongside the river in Kingston. This was an opportunity to gather some secondary research. You should have been taking pictures of subjects that you may wish to include on your Kingston cube.
You need to be able to get the images off your camera/phone and have them ready for you to create a research/mood board. Here is what you should be aiming at creating today.
Now normally you would create a piece of research on the computer by creating an A3 sized document, to then import the pictures you want to show individually. Now there is a way to tell the computer what size you want your document and which pictures to import. The computer will then do as you say! This is called a Contact Sheet and is a feature within Adobe Photoshop.
You can download the instructions and view them on your computer or you can also print them out. I have also created a video tutorial that you can view.

>>>Some Layout Examples<<<
Once you have completed the Kingston research you can then create another research board, but this time concentrating on a particular interest. The example below shows the photos I had taken, the main focus are the CCTV’s. Yours could be anything that you may want your cube to be based on.
What did Helvetica tell you today? If you have no idea what font to use… you can never go wrong with Helvetica!

Rationale
In preparation for next term you will be put into groups and will be creating a few pieces of work. You all have skills and knowledge on how to create 3d models, render them, print them out, upload to blogs and more. What seems to be lacking is time management. When working in groups it is essential to plan well and stick to the plan.
Task
In groups you will be creating a 3d modelled scene in Cinema 4D. All work must then be handed in on CD/DVD. USB sticks will not be accepted. Work must be handed in at the end of next weeks lesson – 10th February.
In the scenes you must include at least:
1. One African Animal inspired Side Table (one of the many that were made last year)
2. One Mudeford inspired chair that was created by the second years last year.
3. One other object of your group’s collective choice.
These tasks will be distributed within the groups you have been placed into.
—————————————————————————————————————————-
You must also burn onto CD/DVD the following work in separate folders:
1. All models must include textures (must be labelled first with the members name then work).
2. An animation for each model (rendered 640×480 as an .mov file).
3. One folder that contains the scene with all 3d models present as well as textures.
4. An animation of all 3d objects in one scene (rendered 640×480 as an mov. file)
5. A printed A3 presentation of the scene (the rule of thirds, text to be included and fonts)
6. One Completed Planner and Assessment sheets.

Today we shall be looking at going into Kingston Town. But before we go can you do a little research and answer these questions? Results to be posted on your blog, or printed out.
