Week 1 : Lab 1 - Primitive Breakdown

Q1. Axe

                                     Using primitive shapes to create an axe.

Suitcase

                                           Using primitive shapes to draw a suitcase.

Q3. Prison and Toontown

Prison.

The long lines of the buildings and paths make the landscape very boring because the long lines represent never-ending walking. Therefore, it is a place no one wants to go. There are very few curves in the prisons too. Therefore, most corners of the prisons are like 90 degrees. The shapes of the prisons consists of only basic 3d shapes like long cuboids and pyramids. This makes the prisons look unappealing.

Toontowns.


The shorts lines of the buildings and paths make the landscape very appealing because they represent short and cute figures. Therefore, it is a place anyone of all ages want to go. There are quite a lot of curves in the Toontowns which make them complicated and fun to walk. The shapes of the Toontowns consists of many basic 3d shapes like cuboid, pyramids, spheres, cones, cubes and cylinders. On top of the many colours of the buildings, those make the Toontowns interesting and attractive.

Reflection:
While doing this exercise, I don't feel any stress doing it because it's just comparing the difference between a place where people want to go and a place where people do not want to go. People design buildings for a reason. If a prison is a very colourful and fun place to go, many people will consider to go and give it a try. (that's weird? ): )
