Week 5


A requirement of this project is that all of the idents must have an element within the design that connects them. The element that connects my ideas at the moment is the old television set. The object has a simple design but i think it is effective and it ties the ideas together well.

How the television was made:
The television set is a simple object made up of simple shapes. There are four cylinders, two for the buttons and two for the antenna. One box for the main case shape and three cylinders for the antenna.

The box shape which is 10x10x10 segments was converted into an editable mesh. This made it possible to pull out and push in certain areas to create the back of the casing and the screen recess. Once i had finished modelling the box shape i applied a mesh smooth to round off the sharp edges. This made the box appear more cartoon like.

The cylinders were simply resized and rotated to suit there roles. The spheres were added to create the base and tips of the antenna.
