GRDSN 238, 3D Animation I
Project: Logo

Scenario:

You are a graphic designer working for a advertising agency. You have been assigned to develop a 2-D for print and 3-D version of the logo to use in a television advertisement.

The client has asked that the logo be lighted in a creative way and it be placed on a black background for use at a post production facility. You will create the logo in 3D and light it within the program.

One of the presentations will be on a 14"x14" black mat board. The logos, one in black and white and one in color, will be 4 inch squares leaving at least a 2" border to the edge of the mat board.

The digital presentation will need to simulate the final on-air graphic as closely as possible.

The client has asked that all digital files be delivered for future use.
