James Rikard-Bell: June 2009

Monday, June 22, 2009

As one can see the main colour spectrum's are metal, black and white. This is a very important and a symbolic issue as it demonstrates the power, equity and equality of all races . These two stars Obama and Madonna are both the at the top of their individual leagues race playing no factor. They both seem to have an extraordinary aptitude of dominance and power in all aspects of life. These buildings demonstrate and are reflective of their individual powers and dominance over the world.

The image above is the structure for Barack Obama. The concept of this structure is that it symbolises the passing of time. One has to travel across a rugged path which symbolises Africa and the struggles both Africans and African Americans face everyday through poverty and racial judgement. The journey up to the top of this beam is symbolic of Obama's struggle for power and achieving his greatness. As one reaches the top there is a building symbolic of the Empire state building a national icon of the USA. Obama from the top in his office can look down at his achievements and to the future.

The image above is of Madonna's building. This structure symbolises how Madonna is always reaching out and evolving over time. The metal bars that flood the sky are symbolic of Madonna's power and determination for pure greatness. The beams seem to be reaching out and endless. Madonna similarly is always adapting and growing in order to keep her power and remain on top.

Table and Chairs

Here are the photos of my meeting place and also the table and chairs. These chairs and table exude power in multiple ways. Firstly the loomy cool room sets of a feeling of coldness and authority. The table itself is made out of stone, marble which physically is a very strong natural material. The chairs are made out of metal one of the strongest elements. Together with the natural and man made resources combined with the mellow calm lines and curves of the chairs and table, there is a very strong feeling of power.

Sketchup- into Unreal

Barack Second Elevator

Barack has two lifts to help identify the immigration progress that his family did by moving from Africa to The USA. This elevator represents Africa, in some ways the pieces look almost skeletal which highlight the many deaths in Africa due to poverty. On a lighter note the elevator could also stand for a hand reaching out and safely guiding a person in the right direction; and in Unreal Tournaments case taking the player through a journey of Barack's life.

Trial Elevator

Madonna Elevator

I was inspired to make an elevator like this for Madonna because I wanted to symbolise here boundless success. The curved lines highlight Madonna's eclectic expression in every aspect of her life, there are no straight boring aspects to her. At the same time the elevator resembles clouds and allows here to glide around in style up in the sky with the stars.

Barack Elevators

Barack has two lifts as it symbolises the incredible leap from his family in Africa to Being the President of The USA. This lift is much more snazzy than the last. The white colour shows how pure it is. There is also a curved bay which lets him look over his country and the world, as he is the most powerful figure in the world.
