Interactive Poster Resubmission

After having a few difficulties embedding the high poly model into the interactive PDF, I decided to embed the low poly model instead, seeing as though it worked perfectly fine.

Note: The Interactive PDF does not include the 3D Model. I have had a lot of trouble with embedding it in and am still trying to do so. I've made sure to convert to .obj and then .u3d via microstation but haven't had any success with it. I tried it during mid-semester break when we were asked to do the practice Interactive PDF but it doesn't seem to work this round through.

Layar

Due to having so many triangles in my high poly model (something like 80,000), I was forced to take out a lot of components of the model. By doing this I decided to remove the covering of both the spiral slide and side stair way to show them off a little and to express the importance of travel throughout the building.

Wk12 - Draft Text, Detailed Poster Layout and Developing Model

Poster Text

Ever needed a place to relax while you let the kids run free? Vitra’s Play Centre can cater to all your needs all day everyday with their enjoyable facilities made just for your children. Through our easy to navigate building, you’ll be reassured that your kids are in a safe and secure environment.

The theme and shape of the building was inspired by Frank Gehry’s ‘Vitra Design Museum’ and ‘Walt Disney Concert Hall’. The two buildings listed had a unique and engaging style that accompanied the creation of this building and its crazy sense of shape and character. The structure and design of the building works well with the fact that it’s a children’s play centre with its offset walls and levels.

The navigation of the building is easy and straight forward providing your children with a secure building that is easy to follow. The main source of navigation is the set of stairs located at the side of the building, which can be accessed as soon as you enter the building. Also, for a little bit of fun, your children will experience the thrill of moving to the first floor via a spiral slide located at the back of the building in the outdoor play ground area.

One of the facilities featured in Vitra’s Play Centre is that of the sandbox. Equipped with buckets, shovels and other sand toys, it’s somewhere that your children can have fun and engage with others with the same interest and ages. This area of the building is placed beside the stairway of the building as soon as you reach the second floor and is hidden in one of the corners to produce a safe and clean space.

The other designed feature in the play centre is that of the ballroom located on the first floor. There are two main entrances to this area; one from the slide and the other from the parent’s cafe’. The slide is the fun way of entering the room, working its way from the outdoor play ground on the second floor in a spiral motion, and landing amongst the hundreds of plastic balls located in the room. The exit of this room is primarily though the cafe’ stairs, and re-entry to the slide is possible through the side stairs available at the side of the building.

In a definite manner, Vitra’s Play Centre has a facility that provides for the parents and their relaxation. Located on the first floor is the registration room and cafe’. As you come to enter the building you will be met with registration room, which is where you sign your child in for the day and pay the fees. Beside this you will come across the cafe’ that allows you to sit back and relax as your children enjoy their time and fun with other children.

So why not give it a go and come by one day to experience the great things we have in store for you and your kids. For details visit our website: www.vitraplay.com.au, or come by and pick up one of our brochures and speak to our very friendly staff for fee enquiries.

Wk11 - Grid, Layar Test, Draft Layout and Developing Model

Grid Layout for 3 x A1 Posters

The basic grid layout presented above was inspired by the image below. I came across it while I was searching for textures and thought it would do great as a poster.

Ideas on Re-envision

Using the spiral staircase found in the Vitra Design Museum, I have decided to re-create it into a spiral indoor slide that leads from the top floor to the bottom. This area in itself will be one room, involving the slide and a few other "outdoor" activities (monkey bars etc).

These set of stairs will remain the same, continuing to be the central means of travel from the bottom to top floor.

The cube-like shape above the entrance will be developed into the well know Mickey Mouse head and ears.

Ideas for Rooms

Entrance: consists of table where you register and pay for the day (simple table at entrance with a few couches).

Parents Room: consists of lounges, tables and cafe' (use cafe table, chairs and cups from Semester 1 - Modeling and Visualisation assignment, modeled using 3Ds Max).

Ball Room: large net area in room full of plastic balls (create rectangular space in room with a small wall around the bottom and net covering the top space). Spheres made and duplicated with different colours - green, blue, red and yellow.

Slide Room: large room at the back of the building that occupies two levels - the spiral stairs of the Vitra Museum being the slide (slide that runs through two levels but is displayed as one room - stairs along the side of the room going up to the platform of the slide). Outdoor activities also included in the room - monkey bars etc.
