WEEK 8: Photoshopped models

Using Adobe Photoshop 2020 to complete this task, the environment each model was placed in was decided by comparing its materials to the suitability of it within that environment. To ensure that the model blended seamlessly with its surroundings, perspective adjustments and changing the tone and hue was a necessary task. Without doing so, the lighting and appearance of each model would have been inaccurate. This was the hardest part of the task however the most rewarding as it showcased the model to its full potential.

Using model number 3

MATERIALS: White brick, Grey textured concrete, Maple wood tiles

The materials chosen were based on their aesthetic co-ordination to create a light and white colour scheme. These white brick and textured concrete provide an interesting juxtaposition to each other and are strong enough to support the structure and design of the house. The delicate maple wood tiles contrasts the exterior and brings the materials together in a harmonious manner.

Using model number 4

MATERIALS: White textured concrete, Dark grey steel, Hickery wood tiles

In order to maintain the attention at the abstract design of the house, the material choices remained simple and clean, choosing to effectively highlight certain aspects of the model. The concrete wall ensures support to the frame of the building whilst the hickery wood juxtaposes the materiality of the concrete to create a warm welcoming front. The steel highlights and supports the main entrance of the model to cohesively bring the model together.

Using model number 6

MATERIALS: Cherry wood, Black marble, Sandstone coated tiles 

To create a modern twist to the 'cabin in the woods' style, black marble was added to the exterior roof of the first floor to enhance the black colour of the model, whilst the cherry wood works to juxtapose the modern texture with a classic design. The sandstone coated floor works to not draw attention away from the exterior, but to remain subtle so the exterior remains prominent.
