Assignment 1 part3: Me, Myself and I

Prototype for car
Changes from past prototype:
1) added background image
2) removed roof of the car
3) change the color of L
4) added some shadow and lighting
5) added the driver
6) made minor changes to N and S
7) added the text " I am... I love cars"

I was thinking of adding background into the picture to make it feels that it is something enjoyable, so I used a sunny day, a blue sea someone driving the car happily to feel that I really like cars. Since I like cars not only because some cars looks cool but also it is fun to drive it around. Therefore I like cars because I like to drive nice cars around the seaside in a sunny day. That is the feeling I am trying to convey over in this picture. The background was something I drew quite long ago for something else, but since it fit my needs so I just added it as part of my background. There is some disharmony in the background since the level of the detail and coloring style is not the same when the road is compared to sky and sea. I am going to cover it with a layer of white color and alpha of 30% to make the some contrast and attract the attention towards the main object which is the car. The feeling of the background was alright so I didn't change it.

Problems/suggestions by classmates
1) car too small
2) car too blend/dull
3) more light on car
4) the picture is suggesting I like driving instead of cars


Prototype for soccer
Changes made
1) Total remade S and E
2) change the color of L, the goal keeper to red and dark instead of red and green
3) color the path of the ball falling to make the letter M with white instead of white with alpha 20-40%
4) added the text " I am... I love cars"

Well previously the classmates mentioned that the E is really quite far off so I tried to remake it again. The previous color of the goal keeper was quite bad since it's like going to camouflage into the background color so I changed it totally. The previous M was not clear enough as the middle stroke of M by the path of the falling ball is not very clear since it is of alpha value 20-40%

Problems mentioned by classmates
1) A still looks not very obvious
2) The middle stroke in E is too long
3) The letter L is a small L which is not coherent with the other letters
