20.01 relief re-presentation

Task 01: Photograph both reliefs as frontal elevations; turn in 3 images per side (9 total) showing variable lighting, shade and shadow conditions; photo frame minimum is 2000 pixels across (3 megapixel camera); fill the frame with the model; use photoshop to straighten, adjust, and enhance the digital photo; black background. Submit images as JPG (set to compression level 12). See examples of relief photos.

Task 02: experiment with Illustrator file export and formZ import techniques discussed in studio today. First prepare your encoding file (layering, line work, extension line length, etc.). Re-save the file as an Illustrator 8 version. Import this file into formZ as a Draft file. Analyze the results. Reminder: the size and scale of the Illustrator file is the same as the relief (14" x 10.5") when it is brought into formZ. We will use this scale to construct the formZ model according to the actual measurements of the physical reliefs.

due: Wed. Mar. 21st. 9am. Upload photo images to server.
