Before I first start this assignment, I had looked at the little creatures made by other people, there are different kinds of creatures, and some looks like monsters, and some are even looks like furniture. I tried to use different functions in the SPORE software to modify the shape of the creature. And finally, by refining the shapes and add some decorations to it, I made my first  creature called Angelacowdy, which looks very cute and related to my fold papers; the software helps me to model things that I want into the screen, turns a thought into reality. 

After I finished the creatures, I need to create an environment for the creatures. I think it is very important to fit my creatures into the environment but not only just create a random environment and put the creatures in it. So I start analyzing my creatures’ lifestyle, features and then get a clue about what type of environments I’m goanna make. Because I had be taught how to use sandbox in last semester, I used sandbox to create the environment, I created a very natural based environment, where full of ‘green effect’.

When It comes to design a building for the creatures, I did feel hard even though I had did the similar things in studio class in semester1. I did some hand drawings of my creatures and the environments that I made. When all the informations are linked together, I got the idea of what I want to make, and I finally create a building which has a similar shape of my creature that provides a comfort bedroom and very wide area for entertaining.

The architect that I chosen did a very important impact on this assignment, because the architect that I chose is Zaha Hadid, her works are very impressive, gaint and unique. 

WEEK5




The poster that I chose perfectly reveals Zaha Hadid’s work through the use of various techniques.

Firstly, this poster uses different size of pictures, there is a big picture of Zaha Hadid’s completed work, and on the left hand side, there are three small pictures are displayed. Different proportion of pictures allows the audiences to define which part are more important and which part is less important. The small pictures shows different stage of the model had been made and shows how the building is build into parts.

Also, the texts in this poster uses same style which keeps a consistency for the poster and make audiences feel comfort while they are reading the posters. The posters uses bold letters for the title, which catches the audiences’ attention and get a general idea about what the paragraph will be talk about. All the texts in the poster are centered in the middle of the page, which lets the audiences to concentrated reading in a specific area but not in different separate parts, helps the readers to read more easy and give a clearly direction about where to start.
