Photography




This photo i took was taken down one of the in Digberth, the reason i took this photo was beacuse i think it is very interesting with the tones and shadows created by the contrast and exposure in the picture. Also there is depth in the photo which creates an element of perspective and that the photo is never ending making you want to keep looking at the photo.
 

This photo is very interesting and unique to look at as there are three gaint graffiti styled robots spray painted on the old worn out wall on the side of an abandoned factory. However, i think the contrast in this photo is very good making the image standout and become interesting as the graffiti on the wall is highlighted by the bright, bold and strong white highlights that are contrasting with the dull brick background.


I took this photo because i thought it looked interesting as the angle of the building enables you to see all of the building, also i think the gaffiti gives the building an egdy feel towards it and creates an urban atmosphere.

3D Design








       The picture above is my wooden sample tile which was inspired by the Nautilus shell as i found the shell very interesting and also it fitted in well with the project. to create this tile i used a pencil to draw out the shape i wanted, then used that as a template to cut around using the electric band saw. after i used a disc sander, which helped me to bevel the round edge of my tile. i also used a hot pen which enabled me to draw on my wood to create different patternts and marks, as well i added smaller pieces of wood to my tile to create depth and to make it look abstract.

                         The picture above is one of my copper metal piece sample where I've created and made imprints and marks using metal stamps to recreate elements of sea creatures which i was inspired by. To create this sample piece i used a file to sand the edges down, metal stamps and a hammer to make in-prints and marks in the metal.
                  I have tried to Incorporated elements of sea creatures and plants by using some of there
                                                 marks in my work, which i found interesting.
                           

                                
      This is a metal (Aluminium) sample piece that i created in 3D design, where i
will develop my final ideas from to create my final metal sculpture. To create like tile
 i use a range of tools such as; a file to sand the edges down, a hammer to in-print and
create marks in the metal and i also used a metal band saw which helped me cut into
 the metal creating lines, which i could bend and make different shapes with
