Stonehenge
In this task I took two different images and turned them into one image. The first image being Stonehenge, and the second was a dark cloud background. So I could replace the original background of the Stonehenge photo and add the second image, as the background so it could look like the original photo image.
To make this happen, I opened both images on different layers with Stonehenge being the first, then the dark cloud as the second layer, both overlapped and used the selected tool in photo shop taking out the original background and this left the dark showing
Green Screen
For this green screen exercise both images were open on Photoshop and put on separate layers. When this was done the original image with the green screen was put on select all from there a mask was made for that layer so that if a mistake was made it would not make a permanent damage.
Then I selected the image with the green screen and went on colour range I had invert the image because the person would of been removed instead of the background once that was completed the image had colour bleed to get rid of that I went on hue and adjustment.
Abandoned Building
In this exercise I had to create a abandoned building effect in Photoshop this was done by having the image of a building first on a layer then opening a mask so nothing would be permanently deleted. The other two images was a dark background and a image of rust
from there i removed the background a replaced it with the dark cloud from there i added the rust effect over the building image layer and quick selected the shape of the building so it would only cover the shape of the building from there i changed the transparency of the rust so it looked like part of the building from there i added a bush effect to add the moss effect on the building to make it look more realistic.
Artists Research
Alexander Rodchenko
Aleksander Mikhailovich Rodchenko 5 December 1891 – December 3 1956 was a Russian artist, sculptor, photographer and graphic designer. He was one of the founders of constructivism and Russian design . Rodchenko was born in St. Petersburg to a working class family who moved to Kazan after the death of his father in 1909.
He became an artist without having had any exposure to the art world, drawing much inspiration from art magazines. Rodchenko's work was influenced by Cubism and Futurism and by Malevich's Suprematist compositions which featured geometric forms deployed against a white background. Much of the work of 20th century graphic designers is a direct result of Rodchenko's earlier work in the field.

For this Maya excessive I was tasked to make a house this was done by poly modelling the square shape from there I adjusted the width for the size of the house then split the square in half so could adjust the individual points.
Then I went on vertex to create the roof shape for the house when the shape of house was completed I added the floor with the sun light direction and then when that was in place I rendered the house.
Photoshop
Past event
Future event
In this Photoshop task I looked at past, future and current events and to collect images from the event or images related to the event to make a collage of them and put a select amount in all in one image so it tell a story.
The first event that I looked at was a past event the Apollo 11 the images I that was collected was from the event and so from present day. The final image from the past event is shown to have a man thinking with an American flag and an image the of a moon to show he is thinking to going to the moon there was an eagle added to represent Apollo 11 with a mixture past images such as the rocket take off to show that is was a past event
For the final image I tried to use the rule of thirds by having the rocket launch in the background do it could seem far away and look like one image. If i was asked to do this task again the changes that I would make would be changing the contrast and brightness on some of the images so it could look like its one image also I would add more images related to the event.The problems face was in phototshop when cropping the images and lining the images up so they could show what event I was trying to show.
The second event that I looked at was a future event the idea was to have driverless self-flying cars In a police chases in the future.
To create this Idea the images that I used was futuristic concept cars and different city locations from there I used Photoshop to bring the images together I decided to have the location to be the desert to show that the cars don’t need roads anymore in the future
Also it would be a better way to the police chases the vehicles that was chosen was a concept police cars one on the ground and another car in the sky I gave the car on the ground a shadow because the image location the was a sun so that it could be more believable.
I also tried to use to use the rule of thirds when finding the images and for the final image there is clear use of this technique by having a car close up and another one in the distance to show the contrast in the image this was done so the event could be shown in a clear way. The problems faced when doing this task was trying to have cars in the same direction of the background so it could look like it was really there and having such a bright sun set in the background and having to match the colours on the cars.
If I was to redo this project again I would change the idea of the future event because on this task
I believe that the idea is good but showing it through images was a challenge I would have chosen event were it was clearer to show. Another change I would make would have been to add more content of the future event such as another car and building to show that I was in the future I feel that this would have helped the idea to be shown better.

Maya Modelling
First Model
Model Ideas
Final Model
for this Maya task, I had to design simple plane first and then from that model I modeled it into an aircraft. The first model that was made from stretching out the wings on the plain and adding different levels into the plain making it look like an aircraft from there I used the Arnold shader to give a metallic texture so it could look more realistic the final model I kept the shape simple to look more realistic.
Maya gadget
Mood Board
This task was to create a James bond gadget from a kitchen appliance I first created a mood board with appliances that I thought would make a good gadget. I also took images different gadgets that would what will go with the kitchen appliances .
kitchen gadget
The final gadget I chose the toaster because its pain appliance and that gives me more room to have different types of gadgets on the appliance. The gadgets functions on the toaster was to have mechanical arms so it could self-lifts its self and crawl, I modelled the mechanical arms in different stages of movement so it could look more realistic from the a added a real life background of a wooded surface this was done because it reflects the light better a shows the texture from the Arnold shader that was used to make the toaster look metallic .

NYC Roof Tops without texture
In this assignment I was tasked to create New York building roof tops I started to create a mood board of existing rooftops from buildings in New York and from games to better understand texturing. I started to model the buildings and objects that would make the surroundings look more realistic on the side is an example of some of buildings that were made without texture also the water tower was one of the objects that was used to make the rooftop environment more realistic, I made billboards on the side of some buildings so It could be clear that It was New York style of buildings.
Final Images
These are the final images I chose to focus on the tree building so I could show the different building textures and show details such as the windows air con units outside the windows also from different camera angles to show the scale of the buildings.
Pompeii
Final event
List
Objects To Model
Pompeii buildings without texture
The second part of the assignment was to recreate a place from a time period I chose to recreate Pompeii before the volcano eruption for this task I also created a mood board so I could a better look at how the building structure was like back then. One of the reasons why Pompeii because the buildings looked achievable to create with extrude tool
