Visual Development art self directed project: School environment art and future work design

School art design

Props and furniture design

School floor plan

Building design
 In developing the idea of the Visual development art portfolio project I had some creative ideas for some of the environment art one of which was the school that the main characters attend. In old mythology it mentions the Sword of Damocles which hangs over someones head being in a situation that puts them in peril. Then it clicked, in school exam and project deadlines hang over students like the sword of Damocles and so the name was born Damocles High School.

School environment designs
The building design I decided would resemble that of a sword and so the plans were drawn out then developed, keeping in mind that the city that the heroes live in has advanced high tech companies and advanced transport such as an overhead train system and high quality facilities for education. Some of the furniture was actually inspired by some of the furniture at the university that I attend the University of Salford and some interesting designs such as curved lockers.

Other environment designs were focused on the suburbs in Gentopolis which were based on its own island with more city buildings. Two of the main characters Nate and Brick would live in the main city whilst Zara and Ana lived in the suburbs. Designing them was rather challenging as the houses were on a raised land and getting the right perspective was important but for some of them I looked outside of the perspective line as most Visual Development artists do.
