Sketches of barbers shops ideas

Firstly, I decided to eliminate certain object that were not achievable to create and decided to focus on the radio, clippers, a chair and the barbers pole.

Barbers pole
When I started sketching the barbers pole, I did some secondary research through the internet on what a barbers pole looks like. I research the designs, colour and shape. I made a note that I will need to make three cylinders. This sketch just gives a rough idea on what a barbers pole looks like.

Clippers
When sketching the clippers it made me that think that I will need to use the cube when using Cinema 4D. Again, I got some secondary research on different styles of barbers hair clippers. I have learned that the body of the clippers is a cuboid shape and a prism shape at the top where the teeth of the clippers are situated.

Barbers Chair
 The sketch of the barbers chair gives you an idea of a typical vintage chair. This will give me a clearer ideas on the 3D shapes I will need to use. I did some secondary research to get an idea on what a barbers chair looks like.

Radio
I did some research on different types of portable stereos such as radios and tape players. From my findings, I came across stereos that are known as ghetto blasters or Boom boxes. I chose this type of style as I believe it would fit in with the style of my walk-through architectural barbers shop.  I did a sketch of the boom box to get an ideas on the shapes and dimensions. I have learned that I will need to use cuboids and circles.

Here is a more detailed sketch of the barbers chair. The design is slightly different to the design at the top. b

Drawing of my ideas

In this blog I will be displaying a number of sketches of various objects that I plan on  creating for my 3D architectural walkthrough. The start off this project, I will be creative a mind map which help me come up with visual ideas on different styles of barber shops.

For each object I will be describing how I am going to produce it. To create my objects I will be using a range of different 3D shapes. These shapes will include, cubes, cuboids, cylinders, spheres and many others.

Name of he barbers shop

I have come up with the name, “Luigi’s” for my barber shop. I will be showing my 3D modelling to a range of different ages to get a wide variation of comments from different backgrounds. 

Barbers Pole

Today I have started to make the objects for my 3D architectural walkthrough. I have started off with the barbers pole. Firstly I had to create a skin colour. I used the software photoshop to create a row of white and red stripes to create the effect of the barbers pole. Here is a screen shot below of the stripes of white and red.

Next I went on the software Cinema 4d to create the barbers pole. Firstly I went on google and searched for designs of barbers pole, I did this because I wanted to get a visual image of how a barbers pole looks. This will help me with the process of making the barbers pole. From looking at barbers poles I could tell which shapes to use to create my own . For example the main shape to create the barbers pole was a cylinder . I used a cylinder as the main object. 

Next I used a photo from google so I could copy the image but with my own design. Though out the creation of the barbers pole I will have to use three Cylinder to make the barbers pole. The first one is the pole which is the main object, second one is the bottom of the barbers pole and the thread and final one is at the top of the pole. 

Next I wanted the white and red stripes to go on to my barbers pole. To do this I had to go to file and then to load the white and red stripe materials. The next step will be choosing the materials from my desktop, after sectioning the materials I transferred the material over to the main cylinder. After transferring the materials over to the cylinder the red and white stripes will appear on the cylinder. Here is a screen shot of the cylinder with the material.

After transferring the material over to the cylinder I then added a light to the barbers pole. I did this because I wanted the barbers pole to look more realistic and when adding the light it will show a glossy and new look to the barbers pole. Here is a photo of the light shinning on to the barbers pole. 

Here is the finished piece of my barbers pole. 

Here is the barbers pole when rendered. As you can see, the barbers pole has a shadow in the background. From adding a shadow the barbers pole looks more realistic. 

Proposal

3D modelling Proposal

Working title: Luigi’s Barbers shop 

Application

The application that I have chosen is an architectural walkthrough. It will give a 3D perspective on how the barber’s shop is going to look. The viewer will experience a virtual walk through around the high-class barbers. The objects that will be included in the barbers shop will be chairs, mirrors, TV, beverages, bottles, barbers pole and a floor.

Target audience

The audiences that I am aiming for are franchisees to invest in Luigi’s barbers chain; the name Luigi’s barbers will be a big local business barbers that everyone will recognise.

As I am constructing a barbers shop I am aiming at adult business people. The barbering industry has become popular due to trends including vintage and a slice of modern living.  This is a very urban market and attracts a wide range of men who enjoy taking pride in their personal appearance.

If you were to ask me what’s different between my barbers and the barbers you pass in your local town? Well I will tell you!   In the barbers nowadays the atmosphere is dull and the facilities are usually ancient, rusty and unhygienic. Also, most men end up with a different hairstyle to what they asked for.  

Luigi’s barbers will provide up to date movies, music and sport e.g. football, cricket and boxing. We will provide game consoles and up to date magazines. The atmosphere will be more lively and colourful. This will just make your time at the barber’s fun and a more enjoyable experience.

Objects to be modelled

The objects that will be contain in the barbers shop will be your typical objects such as sofas, black and white tiled flooring, red walls, mirrors, a barbers pole, electric clippers and a work bench.

Visual style

The visual style of Luigi barbers shop is going to be highly lit with bright lights, stylish, glossy, bright colours, bold primaries and lots of mirrors and chrome. If you wish to see any photos of Luigi’s barbers you can find the photos on their website.

Legal and ethical decision

For legal and ethical decision I would have to get consent of the companies for copyright e.g. logos and brands. After getting permission off the companies I will be able to include any branding items in my production. 

Introduction

 The section that I will be covering will be application, target audience, objects to be modelled, visual style and legal and ethical decisions. Throughout this proposal I will be explaining in more detail so you will get an idea on how my 3D modelling of the Luigi barbers shop is going to look. 

Mind map

Ideas for my barbers shop. At the end I will chose six objects that are manageable to do. Not all the objects are achievable.

Mind Map

Today I have been set a task to create a minimum of six different objects on cinema 4D. Today I have start to get some ideas down on paper. I did this to get a wide range of ideas and then at the end I will chose the best one. here is a photo of my mind map.
