i found out that i didn't upload the put your name-into-stuff assignment. So here it goes!

I placed them together using different layers. The floor tiles i took them from my floor.
My J is in red witht he red logo being the dot on top of the small letter j. and the Y would be the empty space between the jackets.

Comments i got was the overall picture looks like a painting. Which was the result of my not being able to put all the pictures together and make it look natural. so that's something i would wan to work on.

A suggest was to use a shadow for the Y. There are wardrobes with spotlights in them, so the light would shine and the shadow would drop. But that would create more work in a sense that I have to deal with lightning now. OMG how to do siaaaaaaaaaaa.........

It looks damn good on the computer but not on print. Maybe because I clicked fast print. lol now i know the problem of the print not looking like the work u see on your computer.


UPDATE on jacket Assignment!


The feedback i got in class was that the work looks like painted work. Whereas my idea was to make it a realistic photo. So i decided to just... Change it into a illustrator work. From there i would be able to change the colors at will.


So i started by tracing....


then coloring....

Final product.

The letters JY are 'hidden' within the jackets.

The J should be easy to spot. I made use of the negative space between two jackets to form the Y. Color wise i used red to identify make the letters stand out more. J is in red and the Y is also in red.

So much to do so little time.

After going through another thinking process, I have decided to do an abstraction of the jackpot machine instead.


So here it goes!



I used the picture above and did a traced version.




From there, I remove details after detail untill i came to the simple box version.




One thing that I noted about the jackpot machine is that the REELS are important.
It identifies the jackpot machine as... well, a jackpot machine.
Therefore I retained the reels for the final design.

I make it into a sign and place in casinos.

Jackpot sign in action in the casino!

The arcade machine below is my previous work, just leaving it here.





Attempted to do an abstraction for a VIDEO GAMES ARCADE sign.


What seems like an wonderful idea became my worst nightmare.


Next time I'll factor in Generation gap and gender ratio before picking something to draw/create. arrrghghg




Orignal Picture

























Traced followed by Some details removed







I changed the man into the usual toilet person.
Simplifed the arcade machine as well into a black box but left the arcade stick(rather small though)




I found out that it looks very much like an ATM machine.
Therfore I decided to zoom onto the arcade stick which is the main 'identity' of the arcade machine.sigh......


























































































































Does this look like an arcade stick?
I think it does. Maybe it has more buttons then the usual one but still....
This is the home console version.

Only Kohji understands my pain lol
