Finalised Mashup & Bridge inspirations

Mash up 


Small investors will find the line long and hurdles high to get even a handful of shares of Facebook, as Facebook continues to dominate the world with their popularity over the citizens of the world. On the other hand, Coca Cola wants to try getting a piece of Facebook's shares by showing off their good reputation and awareness to bring positive impact to this world. Although they might be quite defensive with their products, they yield some of the most talented and distinguished workers that can possibly help to take over Facebook. Coca Cola is very secretive about their work, but will they possibly reign over Facebook, even in this difficult economic climate?




Bridge


I want to create a bridge that emphasises the ideas of: 


line long and hurdles high .... handful of shares. - Facebook
difficult economic climate...- Coke 


So for the "line long and hurdles high", I want to create something on the bridge that creates an illusion of being very difficult and hard to go through, but actually it's not. It kind of represents how in my mash up, Facebook is dominating and powerful, but Coca Cola wants to overtake them and reign the world. To incorporate the "difficult economic climate...", I'll probably have to work on my terrain or maybe bridge to make it seem "busy" (?) 





This was my first attempt to make a bridge that I made, but I need to put it into Crysis and test it first. 

Some inspirations:

Week 2- Two point perspectives & Elevator

First attempt- Elevator:

 


















For this first attempt, I followed Russell Lowe's video tutorial and successfully  made a typical up and down elevator. These are three screen shots of the views I had. I want to somehow link the waterfall with the bottom of the terrain.

First in line are those with the big resources and long-term investment plans, such as insurance companies, pension funds and mutual funds. They will get the lion's share of the handout.
Retail brokers say requests for the shares are high, and they will mostly divvy up what they receive between their best customers.
Facebook may be the year's hottest stock issue -- but try getting a piece of it. Small investors will find the line long and hurdles high to get even a handful of shares.

COCA COLA

The drinks company has now topped the list of the most powerful corporate brands in terms of reputation and awareness for the fifth consecutive year.
"Our Brand Power rankings demonstrate that even in this difficult economic climate, corporate brands continue to positively impact companies that know how to capitalise on their value," said James R Gregory, founder and CEO of CoreBrand.
Coca-Cola as it is a very good defensive stock and will yield a return no matter what the market is doing.

Week 1 EXP 3- Valley Inspirations

Valley Inspirations 


Throughout the week I searched for valleys that are located in Hong Kong but was unsuccessful, all i got was the Glenealy, Jordan Valley and Happy Valley. These places are considered to be "valleys" but they were all covered with buildings and apartments. 

So the closest to Hong Kong was China, so i decided to search up the valleys in China. I stumbled across this really amazing valley called the Jiuzhaigou Valley (九寨溝) and was fascinated by its natural beauty. 
Here are some photos:









And this is video of the valley.

For EXP 2 I did not work with waterfalls, so for this EXP 3, my challenge is to make waterfalls !
