Above:- The image displays the suspended meeting room with the elevators moving to and from their respective spaces. The majority of the image is taken up by Donatella Versace's space which is comprised from a collection of boxes. I used the boxes to symbolize "packages" or "parcels" which comment on the modern consumerism that feeds Versace's power.

Above- Job's space is very different and I deliberately created a strong contrast in symmetry and colour. Due to Job's involvement in modern technology, I made the space reflect a "new-age", "computerized" environment where even the rails act as a direction of power that flows into Job's own personal room.

Above- I strayed away from the single bridge and created a "cross road" bridge which supports the spaces below. The numerous disks are portrayed as office blocks which are occupied by the millions of employees working under the command of Job's, this in itself demonstrates Job's power over the masses.

Above- As already stated, the glass boxes represent packages that comment on the way Versace uses commercial means to gain a position of power. I made each of the boxes have a different hand drawn texture which gives a fashionable touch much like the style of Versace's own label.

Above- This is the pinnacle of Job's space! As mentioned before, I used a pulsating textures to give the impression that there is electrical power flowing through the rails. I feel that this enhances the overall theme of power and supports Job's own area of specialty, technology.



Above- This shot combines the two spaces and illustrates the relationship between them and the meeting space via the elevators. The glass roofs in Versace's space where designed so that one could gaze up at Job's monumental area. From below, the four main colours (red, blue, green and yellow) of the the famous 'Aplle I-pod' are visible.

3rd Draft Elevator



My inspiration for this elevator came from a gaol cell. The vertical bars create a feeling of restriction which plays with the idea of a greater power holding or confining.

My New Found Tool

The Vertex Editor, found in the to top right of the tool bar is probably one of the most useful tool I know. It allows the easy manipulation of vertices's before or after the creation of the solid. Select either the brush, or solid/subtraction, and the hit the "vertex editor" then hold both "ctrl + alt" then drag to select vertices's. From here you can easily craft irregular shapes and keep joints flush.

The Versace Empire is a family business. After economic change got under way the Versace business accounted for roughly $15 million of all the total sales. All these technologies were in fact invented by Versace who gave only a vague sketch of her ideas. During the Cultural Revolution, which began in 1966, the people at the production of men's and women's apparel were giving the company a market and a new look.

Born on February 24, Steve Jobs started working as a member at Reed College. His most successful company is one of the richest electronics brands anywhere in the world. Steve Jobs understood the importance of the company’s image but he does not go into detail about how his own empire and creative position. After the success of Apple II, Steve started working on the next great change of which was achieved thanks to his personal wealth and markets around the world. However, Steve's tough managerial style led to his exclusion from the Lisa project, so he went to work as an accountant where his value jumped from $7.5 million to $217.5 million making him a business superstar.

Zhang Yin started out from a modest background, the daughter of a military officer. Now she dominates the world's paper trade through her giant companies.

Hawking's Space- The observatory

Final UT2004 Shots

Hawking's Space with meeting room:-

This shot shows the whole of Hawking's area. I tried to make it an outdoor observatory where Hawking could stand on the glass floor and get a "complete understanding of the universe". The ramps allow Hawking to move around his area with ease. The image also shows the meeting area thats "on the wall". An enclosed ramp connects Hawking's area with the meeting room.



The Ramp(s):-




Hawking's Glass Floored Observatory:-

The deliberately tiled texture I applied to the floor in Hawking's space was designed to relate back to the structure of the entire space. Hawking's area is very much symmetrical and so to is the texture applied here.



Encolsed Ramp to the "Meeting Area":-





The "Meeting Area":-


The meeting area has a fairly office-like feel so I used my dotted texture to replicate carpet.



Entrance to Nightingale's Space:-




Nightingale's Space:-

Nightingale's space plays with the idea of things being "done under the influence of fear". The chilling red light and abstract form relate to the concept of fear and maybe even reflect the blood of the war in which Nightingale took part.



The viewing platform at the top of Nightingale's Space:-





Lower section of Nightingale's Space (The ramp):-

The textures found in this area are used to enhance the concept of "the spirit of fear" which Nightingale talk about. The angular lines of the textures have been taken from Hawking's space and manipulated to achieve a less symmetrical look, contrasting the two clients' spaces.
