CRYENGINE ENVIRONMENT - GLENWORTH VALLEY

I used the Glenworth Valley as the basis of my environment in cryengine - as I was particularly intereted in the winding natural river which seemed to take you on a journey throughout the valley and would provide a suitable reference point to compare the scale and positioning of my bridge design.

CONCEPT SKETCHES - One-point Perspective









EXPERIMENT 3 CLIENTS - MASHUP

Experiment 3 has three clients of which we would choose two to use as clients for our bridge design. Below is a mashup of three articles combining elements of power for each respective client.

I would later choose Facebook and Coca cola as my two clients..

MASH-UP
"If you can figure out how to leverage the power of friendship, that opens up incredible possibilities." …

It is as American as Thanksgiving Day. It has been around since 1886 and has since become impressively tied in with the American identity through its massive growth and worldwide adoration. The team draws much of its style and inspiration from the corporate sector, with its driving ambition to create a vote-garnering machine that is smooth, unobtrusive and ruthlessly efficient. They perfectly targeted what people see as the core of the image and magnified it by stripping everything else away. The result was resurgence in the public’s love for the brand and a flurry of design awards and praise from magazines, blogs and various media outlets. Since then, we've uncovered opportunities to make it into something even more extraordinary. It is the largest, most detailed and potentially most powerful in the history of political campaigns. The ads depict human experience in two primary ways. First, long before global branding was the trend it is today, it was embracing diversity. The fusion of information into a centralised database allows you to direct market online at much less cost and virtually instantaneously. It is the largest, most detailed and potentially most powerful in the history of political campaigns. "Whichever candidate uses it the most effectively could win the war." It has long been available in one form or another in countries all across the world and it’s even rumored to be the most recognizable brand, logo and even word on the planet. It is a leading developer, marketer and publisher of interactive entertainment for consumers around the globe. When ads aren’t targeting worldwide diversity, they still possess a strong sense of community and overcoming differences and hardship through universal similarities. It could become a dominant political force. The social media giant has grown exponentially since the last presidential election, rendering it for the first time a major campaigning tool that has the potential to transform friendship into a political weapon. Some would say it learns to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harnesses the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities. It is a unified database that gathers and refines information on millions of potential voters is at the forefront of campaign technology.
