Word Clouds

I have been asked to try my hand at creating some word clouds for work. I have had two goes and quite pleased with them. The cloud is definitely better than the foot. But both still need a bit if tweeking.
Each one has taken a few hours to create.
All done in illustrator c3 so if they get blown up they wont pixelate. Simple but effective. I know you can use apps to create word clouds but I think they are better if someone has sat down and created them and thought about the placing of the words and structure.

Spiral Building_ concept

In the very early stages of designing a spiral building. It could be an office block or class rooms on a campus.
Here I have just done the basic structure and layout. At the moment there are no textures or anything. bu they will be coming shortly :).

Again these have been created in blender 2.69.

Sock Puppet 3d print mockups

Just pottering around with the sock puppet mesh.
I really want to get a 3d print, so just done a few renders to see what it might look like.

I do really want one printed.

Sock Puppet

A bit of a random project. But I have designed a robber sock puppet. 'Smutty' (a take on sooty) is a robber.
The whole thing was created using blender cycles and the textures, were created using the 'nodes' in blender.

After this I tried doing a full package design (like you see in a toy shop), the box texture was done in photoshop and added to the mesh in blender. This lead to trying a wacky magazine advert for the puppet.

Rubiks Mirror Cube

Talking of all things 'Design'. I bought a Rubiks Mirror cube. Just like a normal rubiks but all one colour (silver) and all the cubes vary in sizes. When you mix the cube up you get some great abstract shapes.

I can complete it, without cheating too :)

New friend for the office

yeah it's a talking Ted.

Suitable for any office and I think every office needs one #geek. He is a quality little character. :)

Frankie's Coffee Shop

Another 'Amazing Spaces' inspired project.

This time I wanted to take two shipping containers at the end of our car park at work and see what they would look like being a small coffee shop.

The containers and tables/chairs are to scale and it made it easier to add and remove doors.
The main idea is that anything in the containers could be recycled and up cycled to create the decking outside and flooring inside.

I've still got to do the interior, and have some great ideas for that. So stay tuned :)
