Week 13 | Final Touch Ups and My Contribution

After printing the Poster to scale, there was a much noticeable amount of pieces that were out of place so I spent some time cleaning it up and making it look a bit more put together.

For future projects like this I would recommend printing the poster  before submission by a few days to view all things that could be seen that need to be cleaned up. Sometimes when working on something from a screen for hours on end, its better to view it from another perspective or medium. It gives the eyes a break and you may be able to see things better without unintentionally skimming passed it on a computer screen.

Week 13 | Pre Presenation Errors and Post Presentation updates

Pre Presenation Errors

After spending a night at uni to finish up the poster, printing began at about 6 or 7am of presentation day.

Before the printing process began, we needed to combine both Illustrator files together save.

The easiest way to work was to name out layers and put all Andrews layers all together into my file because there was a lot more organisation going on in there.

We then had to save the file as a pdf, however every time we tried to save it, an error occurred saying that the file was too large, I tried saving it as a TIFF or JPEG but the message kept occurring even after searching and playing around with as many settings as possible,
We attempted to print from the Illustrator file itself and it proceeded to print which was a good sign.

During the printing, Andrew noticed that there were white markings over the page and the layers were out of order so we assumed that it was a printing error and I went to talk to somebody about having our work re-printed. I was told that that is not a, error from the printer otherwise it would look different. I then assumed it was due to the file not being saved as a pdf, which was the problem from the start.

Post Presentation updates

I spent a while afterwards researching potential solutions and found forums with people having similar issues, the issue resulted from the Artboard exceeding the maximum dimensions of 200 inches, that's 5080 mm. Our maximum dimension was at 5333mm, so I scaled down the Artboard to 5005mm in width (using shift + O), I then selected all my layers (control + A) and scaled them to fit my Artboard. I attempted to save the file as a pdf and it finally worked, but reprinting will determine whether that had solved the printing issue.

Here is the result.

 

 

The Before shot shows the printing error that's was on the presentation poster and

the after shot shows no printing error and the layers are in the correct places (the image quality however is low only due to the fact that I test printed this from home on a4 paper with the file fitting to page. I don't have an amazing printer  but ideally if you use the same printer as the one used in the before image the quality would be fantastic ).

 

Therefore after adjusting the Arboard to the appropriate size limit I was able to fix the printing error.

Week 12 - 13 | My Imput - A Time Lapse

Below I have linked two videos of the rest of  my input into the project.

This video is of the overall time lapse of the  texturized portion of the bike.
24,550 frames captured using Chronolapse @ a 5 second interval, that is over 34 hours of footage compressed into a few minutes.



This video demonstrates the modelling technique I applied to create textures.
