I have been playing around in illustrator for about an hour watching the final of The Apprentice, this is the result. I was trying to create something simple and not really sure what the outcome was going to be. I’m pleased with the result so I thought I’d post it up for all to see.
I have been trying to come up with a design for an offline portfolio. Here are a few pages from the latest concept. I created them in illustrator and not in InDesign as I have done previously as I seem to get on better with Illustrator.
Let me know what you think.
Every year my Dad and his friends head of to Le Mans to watch the 24 hour race and every year they do something to make it fun. They all drive fancy super-cars and always get a lot of attention so they always like to take advantage of that.
Last year I made up some signs for them reading “Lamborghini parking only, all thers will be towed” replacing Lamborhini with the respective car’s logo. I made them using a vinyl cutter my Dad got me a few years ago.
This year he wants to do something again, so he came to me with an idea which I have turned into a reality.
After looking at the logo for a test-pilot society he wanted to create his own with drivers. So the ’society for experimental and high-performace vehicle test drivers’ was born.
So although I’ve been hacking away at the code of the current design of this site I realised that it wasn’t conducive to a portfolio site. So in an attempt to make myself seem more ‘designery’ I will be trying to implement the design I have concocted as shown in the screen shot. Any comments would be appreciated (Russell). The next step is to Photoshop a concept for the portfolio page.
I have just finished messing around in 3DS Max for the day. It’s very early in the morning but it seems to be when I do my best work. I created some illuminating shapes using V-Ray and then managed to create chrome and glass materials and apply them to some objects. What I can’t figure out is why there is a cloudy effect on the plane underneath. I thought it was because of refraction through the glass as when I advanced the material more, the clouds suddenly appeared. Strange. I don’t like them.
Anyway, here is what I’ve done.
So when I should be coding php or learning Python (on my own) I am in fact just pissing about in 3D Max. I managed to get hold of the V-Ray rendering engine and followed some tutorials of glass and things. Really I just wanted to make a cool wallpaper…
I’m still working on that, but here’s what I’ve come up with so far.
