week 2 2nd post: Come Across something New!

Bill board ads, we drive pass them, mostly most people ignore it, although its big. Classic bill board ads which some company still using now is flat 2D ads.
When I was doing my research for the Environmental Design assignment, I came across something new(to me), creative, unique and caught my eyes. A 3D, useful, meaningful and entertaining bill board ads design.

A rest stop ads, you cant miss this when you trying drive into her mouth(tunnel), her mouth matches the tunnel and create a creative ads.

Getting fat, need some exercise Silberman's Fitness Center is just for you. The ads is rather plain, but the design is just marvelous. A fat guy standing at the ending of the bill board, the board slanted aside to show that the fat guy is fat.

An useful bill board ads, use the sun as your clock. The sun cast a shadow of the logo on a stick creating a needle, when the sun goes down it show the exact time on the board and show when they having a breakfast, lunch, dinner set promotion.

A company of paint, the paint on the wall spill the paint all over the parking lots, it looks so realistic.

This is just too realistic, a 3D chocolate hanging on the wall, it make my mouth watery by just looking at it. The texture of the aluminium foil and the texture of the chocolate are too realistic.

Week 2 1st post: Assignment Day

Another week another day of assignment.
Lecturer wanted us to build a model scale 1:25 of a bus stop based one the template given by lecturer, and the material will be needed soon, but for now we need to do some research before we start our assignment.

Well basically the assignment is about creating an advertisement on a bus stop's space given, using our creativity, choose a suitable brand or product, compose them together and make use of the space given on a small scale bus stop.

Recently I have found some unique and creative bus stop with wonderful ads.
Not only they made the burger on the wall looks so delicious, they create a huge big oven(bus stop).
With some neon light on the roof to indicate the oven is cooking the burger.

This is a very simple, cheap yet very creative design, by using the reflection of the mirror of the wall. The reflection of the wall complete the logo, by showing the other half of the logo.

This ads is just nothing but unique, the ads create some sort of magnetic field that attract people clothing most likely cotton, wool... This magnetic field called static charge. Simply Genius.

Football league is coming, why not sticking a broken glass texture on the side of the bus stop wall, it create an illusion of a hole, something penetrate it, like a Soccer ball.

Afro hair, the classic hair style from an old era, pasting a picture of Afro hair on the wall, when a person sit directly underneath the Afro hair, it create an illusion of that guy wearing a fake Afro hair or having fancy hair.

2nd post week 1: First Exercise

Guess what... Exercise~!!!
Exercise come before assignment.
Lecturer requested each of everyone of us go shopping and take photo of counter and kiosk, and snap at least 4 photo each in 4 different direction or maybe 360 degree.
Basically counter is a place where you can ask for direction, lost and found counter, medical aids(wheel chair provided)
Kiosk basically is a map for people who wants to find shop lots, lost, parking lots...

This is what I took from IOI mall, one of the counter from IOI mall.
Well decorated to get people attention.

It locate in a location that everyone can spot it easily.

A work space for the worker to do their paper work. It more than enough space for the workers to move around.

Well designed, make use of space given, convenient for customer to spot them...

This are the kiosk that I took from my friend's phone's camera in Sunway Pyramid near the parking lot.
Front view of the kiosk that show directory to all food and beverage shop lots.

Another half of the front view.

Full view: This is the first thing that customer will come across, its located in front of the glass door.

Side view: Slim, save a lot of space

 Same goes this.

1st post: Welcome Environment Design~!!!

This is the very first week of my second semester of my beta years, and also this a very first blog for Environment Design.

Before and After
Before this class starts, when I heard the name of one of our class name Environment Design an idea pop out in my mind that Environment Design is about our environment and arrangement, how to design it example events, concerts, shop, and I was trying to guess weather ED(environment Design) needs 3d max for modelling for our assignment.

After I attended this class , well I guess I got half of my guessing are correct. Environmental Design is about space, form, flow and much more. We human construct a building, booth on a space given in an exhibition hall, or in a supermarket where company can promote their goods and products.
