For this blog assignment I created a 3D model of a vase of flowers, and then used the AR function of Polycam to put it in an unexpected context. After experimenting with a couple of different possible locations I decided to place the vase of flowers in a park. I then created a video where I pretended to interact with the 3D rendering and take flowers out of the vase. It was interesting to see how well Polycam was able to render the complex shape of the flowers. Additionally, the flowers were in a clear vase, which I thought would not render well, but I was surprised at how well the model turned out. Overall it was fun to experiment with creating 3D models of different objects, and then place them in different situations with the video function.

Capitol Hill Block Party: Sofia Kourtesis

By Ellery Lloyd

In this assignment I created a poster for Peruvian DJ and producer Sofia Kourtesis. I was inspired by the atmospheric quality of the artist’s music which is categorized as dance, electronic and house music. I looked at the artist’s existing visual media, such as album covers and photographs, and used this imagery to guide my color choices, as well as the overall tone of the poster. The color scheme of my poster is dark blue with vermillion accents, which are variations on the colors that I saw in Kourtesis’s existing imagery. Kourtesis’s music has a repetitive four on the floor beat that is easy to dance to, and I wanted to carry this aspect of her music into my poster using the visual repetition of the o’s in the artist’s first and last name. Overall my design is relatively minimalist with key focal points, much like the sparse but expansive production on Kourtesis’s tracks.
