Library 6 - Sculptie

This art in the water is a scupltie. I couldn't find the pre-made shapes like apples etc. So i flicked through the normal textures like stone and grasses and water until i found one i thought worked.

Library 5 - Upper level

This shows my upper level. I made the chairs by hollowing out half sphere. I like the contrast of the brightly coloured objects and the grey stone.

Library 4 - My blog

This view shows computers, chairs, books, a plant and a computer with my blog on the screen. Unfortunately I was unable to actually embed my blog with the viewer I was on although I can do this on Second life. I used S4SL to make the words Zoe's blog appear above the computer.

Library 3 - Alpha channel, offset filter and RGB lights

I create this piece of artwork by casting RGB  light and then using an offset filter to create an interesting effect. Thats the back image. The front image is made using an alpha channel.

Library 2 - Door

This shows two of my interactive elements including the door that when touched moves out of the way and then returns to the original position and the light switch.

Journal 1 - Design Studies: The International Journal for Design Research in Engineering, Architecture, Products and Systems

Design Studies is the only journal to approach the understanding of design from comparisons across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural design and planning, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides a unique forum for the development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity and experience, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy.The journal reports new research and scholarship in principles, procedures and techniques relevant to the practice, management and pedagogy of design..

As the concept of design becomes increasingly important, it is vital for researchers, educators and practising designers to stay abreast of the latest research and new ideas in this rapidly growing field; with its truly interdisciplinary coverage,  Design Studies meets these needs with maximum effect.

The journal reports on new developments, techniques, knowledge and applications in the practice of design, as well as design education: how design techniques may be taught, the approach to ill-defined problems and the impact of new technologies. Coverage includes design management, design methods, participation in planning and design, design education, AI and computer aids in design, design in engineering, theoretical aspects of design, design in architecture, design and manufacturing, innovation in industry and design and society.
