Photography Website

I stumbled on this website and felt I just had to share it. The colors and details in each of the photographs are stunning and keep me curious in exploring the portfolio further. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2L1J0p/www.designerterminal.com/inspiration/photography/portrait-photography-gallery-inspiration.html/
I haven't had a great deal of experience in portrait photography but after seeing this website that is all I want to take pictures of now.

Site on Blending and 3D modeling

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/A2UmRK/cg.tutsplus.com/sessions/best-of-blender/

I found this website that shows different forms of modeling and texture to create realistic images. A couple of the links related a lot to the presentation that we had on Tuesday. They were easier to understand after having that lecture although I'm still learning in Google Sketch Up.

Another perspective photo

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/4ITwa0/current.com/1cihu4c/ This is another website I found on perspective photography and I really enjoyed this photographed because I thought it was nicely thought out  and had a realistic feel for tricking the eye.

Perspective Photographs

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1TEkWb/www.drweb.de/magazin/35-splendid-examples-of-forced-perspective-photography/ Today after the critique we talked about our new assignment which was perspective drawings. I googled perspective drawings and photographs and came upon this website. I wanted to get an idea of what I was looking for when Margie was explaining the project and these pictures really gave me a creative feel to go about thinking of what I could do. These go above and beyond of what we are probably going to be doing but they were fun to look at and gave our assignment on a higher scale.

Chair Designs

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1kiaxj/www.trendir.com/archives/003650.html/ I found this website about this new chair design and thought it was really interesting after seeing all the different chair designs of today's critique. I really like the negative space in the back of the chair. It really intrigued me how little of material is used especially after we had to use numerous sheets of cardboard to sustain our body weight.

Chair Designs

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/94b102/www.urukia.com/switch-table-chair-ellen-ectors/  I found this website and saw these chairs that turn into tables. I thought it was interesting in the geometric and organic shapes that made up this object. I was a little curious as to why no one made something like this...but then realized the amount of work that would've been needed for an idea like this...and the amount of cardboard. It's still a neat idea though!
