Original 3D Art for Magazine ads
Sometimes constraints on time and resources limit the use of photographic images in graphic designs. In other cases, the desired visuals for an advertisement do not exist (such as the Monopoly image). This is where 3D imagery excels. The limits of the images exist only in the minds of the designers. These images were created in Blender3D specifically for magazine ads. The images are shown in their raw form before being placed in the ad layout. Click the image to view a larger version.
Web page Mock-ups
The initial design of a web site "look and feel" generally begins with a conceptual mock-up to serve as a visual for both the customer and designer. This helps to steer the designer towards a working design that is acceptable to the customer. This example mock-up uses a mild "art deco" look with areas for text information and customer incentives like coupons.

Today's 3D tools have the ability to render amazing images that will assist in design changes and possibly help market a particular idea. Click the image to view a larger version.
