Objective:

The assignment was to create a 3D magazine cover based on the title from an article. The title I chose was about artificial intelligence and how they are becoming more involved with our everyday lives. My idea was to create a magazine cover about robots being a part of a community with humans.

BrainStorming

I wanted to display a robots family on the front cover because I wanted to have a family setting, but with a future twist. My goal was to create a robots family that had a 1950s look, but there were some changes needed to be made to the final design because of the timing.

Creating the Cover

Cinema 4D

I created my 3D elements in Cinema 4D and learned how to create an object in a 3D software.  I learned that it is important to look object from multiple sides.  Also, I learned how to light 3D object properly and not create hard shadows. The major key to this assignment was time management.

Designing the Cover

I used Photoshop to create the design cover and looked at Wired magazine covers to create the layout. I wanted the design to have an American theme so I used red, blue, and white for the color scheme. I wanted the cover the simple and clean, but still contact eye of the viewer.
