project 3b: solitary shelter
In this assignment, we are required to re-create a story on how my character get on to the island and the daily activities needed to stay alive on the island. Then we are required to design a solitary shelter for a single survivor with at least 1 rest and 1 identified activity. The survivor needs to have a background or at least a profession, where he/she used to work, what is his/her favorite color, past-time activity, height, weight, expertise, favorite food, drink, movies, dream house etc
My character's name is Gerard O' Connor. He is a 43 years old American. He is a former US Navy Seal and have serve in combat for 12 years. The following is his story in the island.
The shelter design is traditional house in Malaysia. The shelter is build on top of a pillar that stands 1300 mm so that the mutated human will have a hard time reaching him.
The following is the model in 1:25 scale:
Conclusion
In conclusion, I felt that I improved my ability to design and draw that I always skeptical I'm able to do so before. Other than that, I also learnt to use Adobe Illustrator and InDesign because I decided that I want to try using digital since I never done before with my previous assignment. Lastly, even though I feel that I could have done better in this project, I feel the experience and the feedback will help me in the future to become a better designer.
