the previous images are more realistic photoshop images though i have got alot of inspiration from games and anime so the following images are from these genres.

this is the nanosuit from the game crysis i really like this and is giving me the idea of a cyber soldier.

this is a very cool design and the very brutal cyborg arm looks very savage.

when printing my calendar at McDowell's print, i had issues with printing my pdf because the calendar template that we were given was in american sizings and because i was told by my tutor to use the template and not adjust it, i didnt even think to check the sizes, because of this the calendar turned out to be smaller than i had expected though i didnt have much choice, as it was all the people at McDowell's could to keep it undistorted.

Bma 242 - calendar research

these are a few of the calendars that i looked at to find inspiration for my calendar.

i quite like this calendar how it is a few different images though it is quite plain and i don't think this is a style i would like to look into.

the following are a few cool designs that i found on http://walyou.com/creative-calendar-designs/

i quite like this and i think it is a cool spin on the traditional calendar. i think this calendar would appeal to children and adults alike.

this is another cool design and would be real interesting if it had inspirational quotes or an image underneath to reveal each day

here are some of the calendars that i found on http://bashooka.com/inspiration/creative-calendar-design-ideas-2013/

calendar-designs-52

this calendar is quite cool and i like how it is interactive, though would require monthly set up

calendar-9

i really love the illustrations on this calendar though it has a pretty standard single page layout.

Spiral calendar 2010

this calendar is pretty awesome with every day being on the on sheet it is a very interesting concept with the spirals.

Calendar 2011

this calendar makes me laugh with each of the months being illustrated by a silly holiday in that month, it is a cool concept and brings attention to those funny little holidays that are often unknown.

OH MY GOD: it is a calendar

this on cracks me up, suppose its better safe then sorry. this calendar is amazing and i feel that it would probably sell really well as a novelty gift.

these are all awesome calendars though the exercise has a set template to work from so i will work around the template for my design.

Bma 243 - Board game research

for the board game i decided to use the 1980's scifi cliche that things in the future and things on screens would glow and with majority of the inspiration from the movie Tron both the 80's one and the new 1.

BMA 243- Clock research

here are some of the images that i have looked at fr inspiration for my clock. inspired by the rescuers and duck tales and cartoons i watched as a kid, the idea behind the clock was to make a clock that would appeal to adults and children.

cogsworth from Beauty and the beast is an iconic clock cartoon character. retrieved from http://www.disneydreaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Cogsworth-Clock.jpg
