I’ve been messing around in Photoshop a little bit, and using some vectors I downloaded from BittBox, and so I’ve begun this little graphic:

The only problem I have is that I’m kind of stuck now. I was fine getting up to this point just messing around with random images and whatnot; but then I hot a kind of block. I guess I’ll leave it for a little bit and then see where it goes when I come back to it. Unless of course anybody has any suggestions…

Last week saw us working on a mini project involving the creation of an absract vending machine. It was a very brief week long project to give us a break from what we have been doing, and to get us to experiment with creating something a little bit different. I’ve got to say, I think it worked.

We decided to create a vending machine that would contain hologram creatures that blessed the user with a luck of there choice. Be it strength, health, fortune etc. The machine would then let out a stream of smoke that would coat the user, this essentially being their luck. The machine would work on a donation system, so instead of the user paying and recieving their choice, they would choose what they wanted, and then pay afterwards. n a sense, wring upon the honour system. If however, the user decided to run without paying, then they would be recognised by the other machines which are connected via a network. And would ultimately get ‘cursed’. I’ve attached some of the slides from the presentation itself below.

The project was definately good fun, and we had a really good team that worked really well together.

In addition to this I’m going to be making some changes to the site over the next few days that will hopefully alow me to have more of a blog presence on this site as well as it being my portfolio.

I made this a couple of weeks ago just messing around in PhotoShop. It’s nothing spectacular but it was pretty fun to play with.

I also updated the wordpress theme for the site. I think I’m getting to grips with it now.
