project

Our project for the final term is a corporate manual of a re- design of the URBE EFL center logo,the logo had to be re-designed because the current logo is difficult to read,and the font may be fun and pretty but it doesn't represent what the URBE EFL center is ,wich is a gathering point for all the students,from the univerity and from any part of the world to improve their knoledge in the english language,it is meant for people to meet new friends and have a great experience learning english but with the logo it has now it's difficult for people to take the EFL center seriously.My part of the proyect was to help create the logo and sometimes write or translate (since there were times it was easier to think in spanish and translate it to english later).you can see our project in SL: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nova%20Vita/172/86/33
there you will also see the stands of the other projects,all related to graphic design. i already posted something about what the manual is about,check it.
here are some pictures of our group making the stand:

an here it's the manual:

we had a blast in SL it was great just talking to strangers and playing random games while i was improving my english,SL was an incredible experience for me as a designer ,especially since i'm really awful at 3D, and in SL i was able to build amazing things!!! i felt great.

this will most likely be my last post ...at least in a very long time so see you later!!!
bye

interview with Jenne Dibou

 

it's a really long interview since the whole classroom wanted to ask questions,she was trying to answer them with the mic but it soon was obvious to all that we just couldn't do it because one-the sound was all weir an static and two-english was neither of us(Jenne and the classroom ) first language so between the accent and the static it was an impossible task.

she was really great,she listened to our questions with patience and answered cheerfully to all of them,she is not only talented but also a reallty nice person.

[07:49] imraff: hey jenne! Since when are you in SL? @Jenne

[07:50] papitasyhelado: What do you like most about SL? @Jenne

[07:50] Nushita: well @jenne the avatar you are using now is the same one from the beginning? or has it changed too much?

[07:50] Jenne Dibou: hello Imraff, i am here in SL since 2007, and i built my first cube around april of 2007.

[07:51] Jenne Dibou: papi: i like the most, it's always changing, always something new things coming, and i can learn non-stop tinkering around^^

[07:52] Jenne Dibou: Nush: my avatar changed a lot, yes. first i was blonde, but then i decided follow my RL appearance, and i the last few years i worked on it. now matches about 75%:)

[07:52] nahirnmlsum25: how much time do you spend on SL on a regular day? "@jenne

[07:53] papitasyhelado: Do you think people can find, a job, education, love and friendship in a virtual place like SL? @Jenne

[07:53] imraff: Who invite you? or how you decided to start on this game? @Jenne

[07:53] Jenne Dibou: nahir: in 2007-2008-2009 about 14-16 hours a day. and from 2010 it reduced to cc. 6-8 hours

[07:54] nahirnmlsum25: OMG

[07:54] papitasyhelado: O M G

[07:54] Nushita: wooow

[07:54] imraff: i prefer typed

[07:55] Jenne Dibou: ok, i keep here

[07:55] OneHornMolly: @Jenne, Do you work with other 3D programs or any other designing programs?

[07:55] Jenne Dibou: so for papi: yes, i believe, SL can be a base of a nice life. certainly it must be connected somehow into RL, but yes, here can be found anything from job to relationship, etc.

[07:57] Jenne Dibou: imraff: i read about SL in a hungarian website as an interesting mmoRpg. so i gave it a shot. and i learned, the news were wrong: SL is not a game. its a second life.

[07:57] Cerealbx: @Jenne why do you select second life? Why not another 3D game online like IMVU?

[07:57] papitasyhelado: If you designed an environment in SL, how would it be like? @Jenna

[07:58] Jenne Dibou: One: i usually work with maya. this is the first i learned, but i tried almost all of them. i am always seeking for the best pipeline for SL and it changes. depends on the job, and the version of SL viewer

[07:58] Marianac16: @Jenne, Have you tried to do 3D designs in other places besides Second Life?

[07:59] Jenne Dibou: Cereal: i tried one another world, that already closed... forgot the name, other creators moved there to try it. but i think any other virtual world is so nice complex as SL. and well.... i know mostly only this one ^^

[08:00] sosirena: What inspires you to design?@jenne

[08:00] Jenne Dibou: papi again about the enviroment: its always abandoned, and ruined a bit, but still can be seen, it was fancy once a long time ago

[08:00] imraff: do you work alone? or you have a group work?

[08:00] imraff: @jenne

[08:01] Jenne Dibou: Marian: yes, i worked in some other small projects, but i made only mesh models, nothing more. actually i dont like model too much on the computer, i prefer clay, water and dirt^^

[08:02] Jenne Dibou: sosi: my inspirations coming from everywhere. any kind of art, or any part of life. i just got impulses, and it mirrors back in my creations.

[08:03] nahirnmlsum25: what do you do specifically? in what area are you really good at? Or waht area do like the most?

[08:03] Jenne Dibou: imraff: i make my models alone, but i can not script. i am too dumb for that, i have a partner: Mandy Marseille, she makes all my scripts and sounds.

[08:04] OneHornMolly: @Jenne- Are you an afficionado, or, did you study some sort of Design school?

[08:04] Jenne Dibou: nahir: i like to rest a lot, and enjoy the life:) and i think, i am not really good in 3d, its just a luck, that my feelings can come through my works.

[08:05] imraff: On your country, is well known SL? Is something famous, do you know people from your country?

[08:06] Jenne Dibou: One: i studied as 2d designer and a window-dresser. also studied art of history at the university, but i never finished that. found too boring :)

[08:07] Jenne Dibou: imraff: in my country people think about SL as a game. mostly young people playing it as rpg, a 3d facebook. however, i met already some artists from hungary, but they are working induvidual, like me.

[08:08] Pionia Destiny: jenne we'd like to go to forgotten city with you...

[08:07] Pionia Destiny: would you take sus for a short stroll?

[08:07] Pionia Destiny: please select the place you would like to show us...

[08:07] Pionia Destiny: and tp us there... some of my students haven't been there yet

[08:08] Jenne Dibou: and also one of the hungarian universitates trying to make a land here, a school, but they are too low quality imho :(

[08:08] imraff: @Jenne What do you think about our appereance? which avatar took your atention since you're here? who's the most funny? who do you think is the most sexy hehehe? Talk us about that ;)

[08:09] Jenne Dibou: ok, we should go to our land, so i answer this last question

[08:09] Jenne Dibou: :D

[08:22] Pionia Destiny: so people jenne says... all right, i think we can start here in the museum area maybe... there are some working machinery, and some pictures too... not sure, what are you interested in

[08:22] Jenne Dibou: once i tried to write a small script, about 10 line long

[08:23] Jenne Dibou: but it almost crashed the whole sim, so i gave it up

[08:23] Jenne Dibou: yes, and after that, i accidently gave you teleport to our shop area :D

[08:23] nahirnmlsum25: did you did all of this by yourself?? @jenne

[08:23] imraff: uhm

[08:24] nahirnmlsum25: no i mean is what JAVA. HTML.. MYSQL, JQUERY. the name of the script.. does it have one?

[08:24] Jenne Dibou: we have on this sim about 6 levels, and some of them are whole sim size, like the winter area up in the sky

[08:24] Jenne Dibou: it was a lSl script

[08:24] OneHornMolly: ooo, winter sky

[08:24] Jenne Dibou: the built in one

[08:25] nahirnmlsum25: ohoho ok did know that script.. :S

[08:25] Jenne Dibou: but i dont like to talk about my scripting abilities, frusrating to have none :D

[08:26] nahirnmlsum25: haha dont worry you are VERY good at what you CAN do...

[08:26] Nushita: yeah this place is awesome

[08:27] Jenne Dibou: we have a lot of things around btw. a huge city at the main floor below, but you can play a working shooting gallery, the mini horse game, we have the winter area with real size ski-jump track etc. we have even a space station with an alien shooting game :D

[08:28] Jenne Dibou: maybe even a bit too much, but we were pretty busy in the last 5 years^^

[08:28] IceCreamL: *0*! woah ♥

[08:29] imraff: wow, that is a hard work!

[08:29] Jenne Dibou: it was mostly fun, not a work.

[08:29] imraff: do you inspire on some enviroments to create the places? @Jenne

[08:30] Jenne Dibou: we experienced a lot, played with the ideas around, and all these things just came real. and even more kept in my pocket hidden :D

[08:30] imraff: i meant, the house is very different to common houses

[08:31] Jenne Dibou: imraff: i get inspired by many various things... and my houses, well.... i usually plan to build something -sometimes even have a sketch or a plan- but once done, mostly i created something really different :D

[08:31] sosirena: what we need to know for create a place like this ? @jenne

[08:32] Jenne Dibou: sos: i think not too much. using at basic level one 3d application (3dsmax, blender or maya) and have a lot of idea, and patience.

[08:32] Jenne Dibou: and linden dollar for the wrong uploads :D

[08:33] Jenne Dibou: oh, and certainly a 2d application for textures

[08:34] papitasyhelado: how can i play this?

[08:34] Nushita: how does that horse game work?

[08:34] Jenne Dibou: hmmmm... its lame, if i say, i dont know? :D

[08:34] Nushita: hahahha

[08:34] IceCreamL: aww hahaha np :3

[08:34] Jenne Dibou: Mandy makes things alive... but i think you must sit, and then click on the horse... or something like this
