ARTICLE MASHUP

She was a hearing and visually impaired American author, activist and lecturer. She loves the opportunities it offers in terms of allowing her to portray a variety of characters, to be able to be creative. Over the past four years she has had to steer Germany through some difficult times, but remains very popular. She changed the public's perception of people with disabilities. Despite being hugely successful at what she does, this beauty - has also written a motivational book designed to improve the body image of teenage girls. She became known around the world as a symbol of the indomitable human spirit, yet she was much more than a symbol. She was a woman of luminous intelligence, high ambition, and great accomplishment, having devoted her life to helping others. The old-fashioned image that supporters feared would stump her progress is long forgotten. Partly that is because she spruced up her appearance, wearing bright colours and sporting more stylish hairstyles - but largely it is because few people think it matters. She was an impassioned advocate for the rights of people. She played a leading role in most of the significant political, social, and cultural movements of the 20th century. Some people said she was boring and provincial, but they underestimated her. Her life story exemplifies the truth that through the body's physical limitations that may constrain one's performance, a person's true value comes from the height and depth of her mind. She does not need to rely on charisma to win over voters, because she is a pragmatic politician who inspires confidence. Everything in moderation, that's the trick.

FIVE IMAGES OF MODEL IN CRYSIS ENVIRONMENT

This is an image of the studio designed for Charles Darwin. It has a dark texture applied to it. It appears to be complex however started from quite a simple place slowly subtracting from its form. This is an image of the studio designed for Stephen Hawkings. It is a split level studio joined by a ramp. the medium texture applied to the studio represents Stephens complex yet very organised theories.
This view of the studios shows the merging of two brilliant minds. It's own form of electroliquid aggregation. they are two very separate spaces that work as two separate entities, however, without each other they would represent an entirely different idea.

INITIAL MODEL AND CRYSIS IMPORT

THESE ARE MY INITIAL SKETCHUP MODELS. THE DIFFERENT TEXTURES(COLOURS) APLLIED ARE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN EACH SEPARATE PRISM.THE FIRST MODEL BEGAN FROM JUST A CUBE. WITH EACH SUBTRACTION I MADE FROM IT, IT BECAME SOMETHING MORE. HOWEVER, THERE WAS STILL SOMETHING MISSING FROM IT. I THINK I RESOLVED THE PROBLEM IN MY FINAL DESIGN. THE MODEL DEVELOPED ALOT FROM THIS POINT. THE SECOND MODEL DEVELOPED, HOWEVER NOT AS DRAMATICALLY.

THIS WAS MY PRACTICE IMPORT OF MY CRYSIS MODEL WITH COMMON TEXTURES INTO MY DRAFT CRYSIS ENVIRONMENT. I IMPORTED THREE SEPARATE COMPONENTS, ALTHOUGH I ONLY HAD 2 TEXTURES. I TRIED IMPORTING BOTH STUDIOS AT ONCE, HOWEVER WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. WHEN I IMPORTED THEM AS SEPARATE COMPONENTS I WAS SUCCESSFUL.
