Final model for EXP 3


 Five real time image captures

 This is Lady Gaga's office, with a small part exposed to the air, building the architecture with rain together. Meanwhile, rainy days and faint sky pointed out, to some extent, Gaga's style. The elevator is on the left and is vertical.

Here it is Jonathan Ive's office. With a sunny day and cloud floating, it gives a comparison with Gaga. The elevator is on left and is gentle incline. On the ground, It can be seen that the clouds give the shadows.

This is a view of the dining place and the natural bridge below in a far distance.  The called natural bridge is made up of the nature, with no artificial elements. (smile)

An upward view through the hole under the natural bridge towards the blue sky.

A close view of the meeting and dining space. Through the glazing roof, the dining table can be seen with shadow by sunlight clearly. The snowflakes again give a comparison, with the sunlight. 



Furthermore, the original valley draft is the death valley in USA, which inspiring the relationship between life and death, and other contraries or comparisons. Ive and Gaga are a pair of good choice which provides a sequence of contrasts, such as spiritual and scientific. Perhaps they are not contrary but still can be compared. Bridge is good idea, for communication, for conflict, and for other things which may occur between the two which are not the same.

From Gaga's office, it can be seen the clouds through quarter glazing roof. The black and white stairs are inspired by the piano and the vertical elevator is form Gaga's style. There is a special thing that when going to the dining place, there are two elevators, one from the original office and another one fro the dining place. The situation is the same to Ive.
In fact, the two elevators from the meeting place are indeed the dining table, divided into two parts. The glazing roof can also be moved in order to enable the dining table to traveling to the offices. 



A visit to Ive's office, also by two elevators. Ive's office looks much more official as he is a designer as well as a scientist. (smile)

T shapes in two point perspective


Compared with one-point perspective prisms, two-point ones provide a rather strong sense of reality and practical, since we live in 3D space...

Exp 3 week 1

Firstly, a valley in one of my chosen clients county - USA

Death Valley

Crysis ver. Valley



Next, T shapes in one point perspective





Differentiated with parallel shapes, one-point perspective ones point out the concept of space and effect from human eyesight. However, they are still relatively abstract.

MashUp of three news articles

Oprah Winfrey
Lady Gaga
Jonathan Ive


More than anyone, Oprah Winfrey knows how to cover all the bases. It is the truth that HBO's "Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden" is a love letter to her hometown, fans and her roots and also puts viewers in the front row at one of her shows. We don't know what Apple design supremo Jonathan Ive thinks of the concept, but it looks pretty special to us. It is really influential of Winfrey's final show, "You have enlightened us, you have empowered us and you have taught us how to be." said Jada Pinkett Smith said at the beginning of the second hour of "Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular." Lady Gaga expresses her attraction by her passions, "I'm gonna marry the night/ I won't give up on my life/ I'm a warrior queen/ Live passionately tonight," she sings to herself, waiting for her show to begin. This is more than a bit of fresh design ink, which shows how beyond of imagination of Ive's design. For all her control issues and narrative insistence, Oprah understands that moments of truth and beauty are never scripted, that they exist mostly in the blank spaces between the items on the checklist, come up through the cracks in a conversation, rarely look anything like you thought they would. All of them have impacts to this world, which show different kinds of power.
