Mural

The assignment was to design and build a mural that would represent the 91 countries represented at Seneca College. The groups would be presenting their final ideas to an actual client and they would pick the winner. Presenting an idea to an actual client was a pretty awesome experience, it's something that I will definately have to do in my future career as a Digital Media Artist, so it was awesome to get some experience under my belt. Our design was to make a 3D model of the map of the world using foamcore (as a prototype). We also took photogrpahs from online databases that represented all 91 countries, whether it was an animal, a fruit, a tree or a parliment building. We then arranged them in a collage of polaroid-esque pictures to give the feel of a trip around the world. Lastly, our groups tagline was "Seneca connects you". We represented this tagline by using red string to connect all the represented countries to Seneca College. Although we felt our idea was innovative, we ended up not winning, which was alright with myself and the group. All the designs I saw from this project were ass-kicking, so it was pretty cool to see what other groups had done for this project.
