Showcase Box visuals Part 1

These are my first designs for my showcase box which is going to based upon a underground bar/club. This is only the first part of the bar because if you may of have noticed there isn't a door so part 2 of the design will include the entrance of how to get to the bar. Modelled in Sketch Up took about an hour, then just changed the style. I did this just so i can show people what i want it to look like before i start modelling it in 3D Max which is what i want to do and will probably start doing that over the easter break.

Visual #2

Few quick Sketches to start with:

Final Logo Design

Note whenever i posted it i think underneth it there will be text just saying "SKA CROW Productions" just so those seeing it for the first time will know who designed what there seeing when looking at my work etc.

Identities, All wings report in!

This post is just going to be a summary of my ideas, what they are and where i see them going.

I'll start with my my Logo, which is pretty much completed and i will post it after i have written this in another post.

Avatar:
Is going to be a Crow the bird & hopefully look like the crow which is in my logo only 3D and animate. I have done sketches of this and will start to make it it in 3D Max soon.

3D box/Showcase Room:
Refer to Mood board which has huge text saying "the Jam", i want the box/showcase to be an underground bar (sketches to follow soon!) so if i can the user gets to walk around it and click on indvidual items(virtual objects) in the bar which opens up the other the 5 elements which reflect my personal identity. Or still have the walk around feature and when the user walks to a certain area it could trigger 1 of the elements etc, i'll come to that when i have made the box, those are just the ideas i have got so far.

Audio Visual element:
I was thinking of doing something in flash creating a short movie, have another idea which involves a crow again (i think in the breif it said something about continuetity so i think i got that bit covered) but yeah my idea, starts of with Crow landing on a bin, like they do. Then further on in the movie it starts taking/finding objects out of the bin - the items keep getting stranger & stranger, until i think the crow will find a light saber then another rival bird who has has a light saber conicidence? maybe... But back to the story they end up having a duel thats as far as ive got, i started a story board for it and will post it on my blog soon. <--- thats only 1 idea i may find something better.

2 Other elements which reflect my personal Identity:
Maybe a website, just from the seminars we've had on websites
other than that i'm still thinking about it.

Logo Design & Development

Following on from My avatar Sketches i started work on my logo design, i already had an idea for it in my head but it didn't look as good as i thought it would be, but soon came up with another idea which looks just as good.

Taking 2 things i like then putting them together to make a logo, in the style of a logo.
1.Crow
2.Ska



After Drawing the bird i then moved it on it to photoshop where i created part of the logo.

Fist image without sun glasses,
Second image with sunglasses.

I belive the crow with the sunglasses looks better, and thats why i choose it for my Logo





After creating the Crow in Photoshop i set about making it into a logo, the picture below was my original idea however it didn't look as good as i'd hoped. The crow might be a bit big for the circle but it looked better than a smaller version i tried before. Soon after i came up with another idea picture below the picture below.






This in my opionion looks far better, and sort of has a element of humour to it aswell.




Variations of the same design, just playing around with the gradient tool on photoshop.

My main Influences were i ussally use 'crow' as a username when signing up to online stuff so thought why do something different or think up someting new when i already have a name user which is personal in some way to me. Refer to the Ska Crow mood board as well.
