Avatar Design

One of my favorite avatar designs to date.  The skin and shape are my creations, the clothing was purchased in-world.

Trying out Ideas

Design Principles

Students integrate foundations design principles into their constructions.

Display Designs in Virtual Worlds

Students create virtual display designs that would be impractical and expensive to build as a student project. Using their avatars, they can walk around the displays, viewing them from different angles and see how customers might perceive them. In this way they can evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a concept...like a 3-d thumbnail sketch.

Falling through Art

Teleport to the diving platform and follow the arrow...your avatar will fall through layers of color and animated art.  Try to hit the bulls-eye on the gallery floor!  While you're there, take a look at the student projects in both galleries.
