The assignment was to model and texturize an existing chair based on photos and/or drawings. We used downloaded materials but had to tweak them to match the real chair. We had to render 3 images, one in wireframe to show modeling skills, one in a studio setting, and one for a magazine ad. The latter could be lifestyle or abstract.
I found no technical drawings or official photos, meaning I had to model from auction-house photos. This was the first project where I used a Miro-board, which I found very helpful.
For the ad I went the abstract route and tried a few compositions, then I experimented with color. The all-red background made the yellow chair pop without making the overall image look too cartoony and childish. The warmer version of red made the legs stand out more.
