In this section we've placed everything that doesn't belong elsewhere: Pseudo-3D renderings, technical drawings, vector drawings, maps, plans, diagrams and even icons. These serve as effective illustrations for everything from DIY manuals to editorials.
Pseudo-3D: Crystal ball on podium
Client: Rode & Associates Property Economists
Konrad started off this rendering as vector art, then pixelised and manipulated it by adding a wood pattern to the floor and podium. Then the podium and floor were given perspective, Konrad then spherised the rendering of the houses, factory and skyscraper, and did a complex overlay of a spherical object also created from scratch. All layers were then given different saturations and/or contrast to clarify their distance from the viewer, and eventually reflections and shadows were added.
A soccer ball pattern was added to the crystal ball to symbolise the following year's 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and questions around its impact on property, if any.
Please note: "Rendering" is a word used more commonly to describe three-dimensional art.
We don't do 3-D renderings, only pseudo-3D, i.e. flat illustrations that imitate 3D, but that are not as realistic as true 3D. These are often ideal as editorial illustrations.
