Project 1- Fantasy Appliance
This is my current progress so far. I have mainly been wanting to just get the shape of the toaster first before I started doing anything fancy. I have started on some of the reflections and shiny parts of the buttons and the metal, which has been tricky because I'm still learning how to use the gradient tool, but I'm getting the hang of it. I have been thinking about what I want to combine my toaster with and I've been leaning towards a building, using the leaver as an elevator, or a diving board, something that springs into the air etc. As for what kind of building, I've been trying to thinking of places that relate to heat/ heating things, so maybe a tanning bed company? Not sure yet, still fleshing things out. But I like where I'm headed. I have mainly been trying to work on the reflections of the buttons and metal on my toaster. There is still a lot to do and more to figure out but I'm looking forward to seeing what I come up with.
lovely beginning of textures here- the orange is really fun too. I feel like there needs to be more going on here though; maybe try adding more images/layers?
ReplyDeleteI think this first iteration is really interesting! I think you definitely have some nice textures going on and I look forward to seeing how you begin to integrate the chickens and further develop your idea.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the orange-y hues peeking out in this image, and can definitely make some inferences as to how you are approaching the concept of the 'cyclical nature of things.' I'm excited for how you might incorporate your other visuals into this.

I like where you're headed with this; I agree that there needs to be more happening, and I think if you were to add something that's a little unexpected, this could help your image more!
ReplyDeleteKara, loving all of the textures! it amazes me how texture can be captured digitally. the orange is lovely, adding some contrasting blue tones somewhere would be a really nice way to emphasize color in places and make specific points pop. Excited to see where this one takes you!
