Minnesota / Wisconsin Interstate Park

The proccess

Initial project:

This initial project was created in the spring of 2023. It turned out fine but there was a lot of room for improvement. especially in regard to the 3d portion of the project.

Update 

I wanted to revisit the project so in September 2023 I Went back to the drawing board. I started by redoing the monogram logo to make it more visually exciting and legible. In the next phase, I realized how limited Adobe's 3D software was so I decided to take this revamp as an opportunity to learn how to use Blender.

Step 1: logo redesign

Original:

Park-pres-Final-D2-4
Park-pres-Final-D2-5

Update:

Park-2-sketceh-100
p2-W-L
p2-C-L
p2-B-L
p2-W-LT
p2-C-Lt
p2-BLT

Step 2: learning blender

So I went into this project without any experience with blender. So I searched online and followed a few tutorial series to understand the basics. Went pretty overboard with the saturated colors, but I think I got the general idea.

Step 3: Sketching

With the new logo and new technology knowledge, I revised the sketching phase to better incorporate the M I W monogram into the sculpture and signage.
