KAWS

At college we were given the opportunity to visit the Yorkshire Sculpture park to view the KAWS exhibition for inspiration. The exhibition is named after the artist who designed all the sculptures on display here and besides creating models he is also known for his: paintings, graphic design work, toys and prints. His sculptures were displayed in several different locations in the park, with the smaller and brightly coloured acrylic ones being based inside the nearby gallery and then the bigger ones made from wood and fibreglass were displayed outside. His works all have a very distinct and familiar style similar to Disney's Mickey mouse or Nintendo's Mario in their rounded shape and clothing.

Adidas Projection Mapping

This project was a live projection mapping brief for Adidas, where we all had to create a short video associated with the new Adidas Japan pack. This meant that we could create anything as long as it was linked to: Adidas, Japan or the 80s and to produce our piece we could use any software or techniques that we wanted. My animation includes things such as Koi, Lanterns and Japanese lettering, and was created using Photoshop and After Effects as I am more confident in using them than Cinema 4D.

Below is footage taken on my mobile of a section of the actual projection mapping showing which includes animations from everyone in my college class and is being projected onto a 3D model we created of the Adidas logo.
