Material - Reflection - Light
This assignment develops from the previous Photoshop collage exercise, but uses materials in Sketch-Up, along with Illustrator Vector lines, and Photoshop for lighting effects and reflection. The result should be a well-developed, presentable immersive perspective of your large pool space. Additionally, you will present three smaller vector only perspectives (line drawings) as serial perspectives. Serial perspectives are snap-shot views as you approach or move through your large pools space.
Submission
Due at beginning of Lab Thursday, May 31st
(1) Post and print composite immersive perspective incorporating raster / vector with focus on material, reflection, and light
(3) Post and print smaller vector only serial perspectives
Design Goals
Selective use of Materials for pattern, directionality, scale, and/or color.
Use of light to evoke a mood or ambience to the bathing experience your are designing for.
Use of Reflection to add nuance to materials and light qualities of materials and water
Technical Requirements
In Sketch-Up, create new materials by using small scale jpg images from material databases, such as the one found at the AccuStudio website.
Use Illustrator to composite Vector Outlines and Hidden lines as done on your mid-term. Focus on subtle changes in line color and line weight. You may also choose to play with line type, such as a dashed or dotted lines for the hidden line layer.
Use Photoshop to focus on giving a sense of light to your view. Also use Photoshop to slightly desaturate colors and incorporate entourage.
Use Illustrator to Composite Vector Outlines and Hidden lines for your three serial perspectives. These should be simple line drawings on white backgrounds, utilizing line weight to give graphic quality.

I was wondering if you could post an example of what you were wanting for Thursday. Even after today's lecture I am still confused on what you are looking for and how it is different than what we turned in last week.
Assignment 6 was hand drawn, and your design was at a more preliminary stage. Now your design has hopefully advanced, and you are to use the raster / vector technique. Assignment 7 should focus more on light and materials through Sketch-Up, not the cartoony versions from Photoshop.
It is the same focus, just more developed and closer to final presentation.
I still don't understand what it is you are looking for. What does a cartoony image look like and what does a good image in your mind look like? Could you post an example so we have something to compare to.
Stephanie, read the post I left on your blog for Assignment 6.
Thank you.
