Project 3

Th assignment truly peaked my interest to such an extent that I was excited to take on its extensive brief. To work within a team is always a good learning experience in my view. Learning how to communicate effectively to achieve coherency and complete the assigned tasks. Unfortunately I had a major setback fairly early on due to a miscommunication with my original team. It was resolved swiftly thanks to Anthony and I was soon a part of a new and promising team Max and Hakan. The transition was seamless thanks to a great deal of time spent talking and discussing in detail our ideas and goals for the projects. I was intergated into the project with a task to perform. Our project was to create a modified culturally appropriate media artefact (web comic) from a pre-existing media. My role was to design and produce the new Modern Doll house for our revised story. It needed to fit the setting of current holiday leased housing. A blight on the housing market and a predatory, community shrinking practice that buys properties in nice areas only to be used as holiday housing. Meaning they are empty a majority of the time. The modified story of "2 Mice" a Beatrix Potter story, now delved into modern societal issues whilst still harkening back to the original stories of breaking homesity and gender norms. I wanted my work on the Modern Doll house to be a testament to the truly different times, it was created using 3D software (Maya), a nod to how the medium has also evolved over time.
