Big Brother 2012 - Just another Project - Finished/Scrapped

[Jarrod]

Welcome
Big Brother 2012 will see evil make the biggest come back ever. With the smallest House, biggest twists and the worst tasks yet, this Project is going to be my biggest challenge to date.

Evil?
The Project will be my biggest and toughest yet, featuring the House, Graphic ideas, Sets, and a possible week plan. The First images of the project will be a House aerial picture from a *helicopter*

I'm going to try and make this better and most successful yet. And i need all of you to help make it the best. Comments and constructive criticism are really needed.

Evil is only the beginning...:devil:

What's been going on at the House since the previous House..

The eye. :love:

[CharlieO]

If you didn't even make the logo ect why even bother doing a project?

I may not have made the Logo, but I've made everything else. Just give it a chance. God. ¬_¬ I might change the eye soon anyway

[Jarrod]

I had made a Logo for this, But it wasn't any good. If you want to see it

Which Eye? (:

[Jake.]

Love both eyes, go with your own one

[Jarrod]

The finishing touches are being added into the House and the first pictures are coming very soon. Graphics are also being finished!

[Glenn.]

'Evil is only the beginning' Hmmm that sounds familiar?

Really? :S It's only a temporary title anyway.

Oh. :joker: Sorry Glenn forgot all about that! :L I'll change it now

[Conor]

The eye is WOW, but I've said it before on here. I think BB needs to move away from the evil image. It's stale.

It's going to take some time to explain my ideas. So keep checking back... First House images soon!

[Jarrod]

Before i post the Graphics, i'm going to jump into posting images of the Exterior. Don't get too excited. It's simple and does the job nicely.

House Exterior
The House, the Audience stands have gone making space for more standing audience members. The Exterior can stand up to 900 people if needed. The Presenting Stage is a long orange and grey platform with a small studio-like space on the end. Interviews can be conducted outside but will sometimes be inside. The House is covered in a screen and and graphics are placed onto the House during Show times. I'm not sure if i like the Exterior enough yet so expect changes if i don't.

Bump

The House has been finished... ;) :thumbs:

[Patrick]

Titles are too slow.

[Ryan.]

i quite like the titles Jarrod.

[Patrick]

The start of the titles are fantastic yeah, and the graphics aren't bad just think after a certain point it basically goes still and slow paced.

[Jarrod]

Titles are too slow.

Hmm, they're okay
i quite like the titles Jarrod.
Thanks

They're a improvement on my previous ones

[Jarrod]

:joker::joker:

It is.. If you want proof. There is one door to enter which is via the Diary Room. You'll see that in the Images

[Jarrod]

I Can't wait to see all of your opinions on the House

[Jarrod]

The Garden - Re-Visited
Change of Plan. Your getting the Garden first! The Garden is quite small in comparison. There is a pool, Smoking Area and Seating Area. And THE CHICKENS ARE BACK!. This is the second version of the Garden. It's much better. The Housemates have a BBQ Area but it's only available when Big Brother deems it to be available..

The blue metal is the outer shell of the Garden.

[Sam:)]

I quite like the titles,the start of them is amazing and the part with the words is good,its just the eclipse at the end ruins it! Other than that there amazing :) The garden sort of lets it down

[Conor]

The titles are nice but the garden looks to much like BB12's.

Thanks. There is a theme to this House. It's a sort of 'everything is everywhere' and there's no order in the House. I'm changing things round though so at the end expect improvements

No one likes the chickens.

[Jarrod]

The interior images are delayed. I'm changing parts of the House which i think can be improved. Also the Garden is being changed.

[Jarrod]

BUMP. New Garden Images ABOVE!

Advertising
Billboard
These will appear throughout the UK in May 2012 to promote the Series. No logo or what they're for appears on the Billboard. Later ones will have the Full Logo on them with the start date.

More soon..

[Jarrod]

To be honest i can't be bothered anymore. These Projects of mine are obviously not improving hence why no one is looking. I'll finish this. Don't expect anything else. I've lost all enthusiasm for the thing.

Jarroddaniel, you need to stop making so many projects at once. You've made about 3 or 4 houses in the time it takes me to design one!!

Some tips:
- I don't even begin to design a house until I have an almost complete image in my head of what the house will look like. Sometimes I even draw out rough plans beforehand.
- Search 3D warehouse for a day looking at furniture. I have made several vital contacts through the warehouse and always manage to find the piece of furniture I want. Make yourself aware of what furniture your looking for before searching and don't just settle for something mediocre. (This might be a bit hard if you aren't an architecture/design freak because you need to know the names of lots of pieces of furniture/designers)
- It takes me 4 months to go from a house plan to a finished model.
- I usually restart about 3 times in the first week of designing the house to try and get any problems ruled out from previous attempts.
- Learn from past attempts, copy what other TiBB designers do and listen to member advice.
- If you spend so much time working with the model that you get sick of it- good. The next time you open it (whether it's a week or month later) you'll be even more excited about finishing and have even more ideas. It's not been unknown for me to find myself start a model, then leave it for 5 or 6 weeks before coming back.
- Avoid what I call 'lazy design.' Where you just slap a picture onto a wall or draw a lot of different sized circles or zig zags onto the floor. Make everything interesting.
- Look for inspiration. I rarely base my house designs on other UK houses. Look at international BB houses and interiors of other types of buildings/sets for inspiration. Don't blatantly copy any previous designs. Just take inspiration. Check out architects like Zaha Hadid and Diniel Libeskind. Although they design buildings, their basic principles would convert well into a BB house interior.
- Try something different that hasn't been seen on BB before, whether it's as simple as a circular entrance corridor or something complex, that makes the reader think WOW, why hasn't BB done that before?!!
- Try to be realistic. Include things like door hinges and space for camera runs. Insert little quirks that you usually find in BB houses, like the lighting boxes on the ceiling and zinc cladding lining the garden.
- Rendered houses only look good if they are as detailed as you can get them. If I'm being brutality honest, I haven't seen any houses that I think look better rendered than if they were just posted as they look in sketch-up on TiBB before.

Also, when you design a logo, simple things like the words BIG BROTHER in a cool font with maybe just one effect over the top of it can look as good as a complex OTT eye graphic. You don't have to try hard to make something look good no matter what people in the design industry will rant at you :P

Another thing, it takes practise and experience to create a decent project. I've been working with Sketch-up and Photoshop for over 5 yrs now and still learn new things every month. I've also attempted rendering software for 3 years and can't fully get my head around it yet.

That might seem like a lot, but seriously, just take aboard half of that and you will have a fab house, your best one yet. I guarantee it!! If you want help with the model I'll happily fix things and throw a few ideas out for you :)

Finishing

Here are the final Images. There isn't much interest so here are the images i was going to upload.

[Jarrod]

Oh and there was going to be a Twist. But thats all
