When I first read the description of this assignment I got really excited, instantly the images of old castles, cathedrals and churches came to mind. I had to figure out a way to showcase the amazing architecture of these ancient gems. I started playing around with things like blueprints and wireframes along with original pictures. I made a 3D model of the arches, I then deconstructed them to the wireframe model and then blended those with a set of blueprints to create a well rounded abstract portrayal of the Cathedral. I also tried to make the arches look more weathered and frail, using a warming effect and over sharpening the edges for a more jagged look. I am very pleased with the finished product and have a new appreciation for this type of architecture.
