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..


Smoking Area



Next up WILL BE the Living Area

The blue metal is the outer shell of the Garden.

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
