Australian City Design College is proud to showcase the creative work of one of our Certificate IV in Design students. As part of their 3D design project, the student has created a charming collection of bear-shaped macarons, presented in a variety of colours and viewed from different angles to demonstrate their modelling and rendering skills. 🐻‍❄️

This project highlights the student’s ability to apply 3D design principles, including form, texture, lighting, and composition, while bringing a playful and visually appealing concept to life. By exploring multiple perspectives and colour variations, the student has effectively showcased attention to detail and a strong understanding of digital design techniques. 🖌

Looking for your next dose of creative inspiration? 🎬✨

Christopher Nolan's newest film The Odyssey is more than just a blockbuster. It's a masterclass in visual storytelling. From carefully composed shots and immersive cinematography to production design, lighting, costume, and sound, every creative decision works together to shape the audience's experience and bring an ancient story to life.

Known for his commitment to practical effects, large format filmmaking, and minimal use of CGI, Nolan creates a sense of realism and scale that has become his signature style. As you watch, pay attention to how framing, perspective, colour, contrast, movement, and lighting are used to build emotion, create tension, and guide your focus throughout each scene.

Even better, you can experience The Odyssey at IMAX Melbourne, home to one of the Southern Hemisphere's few IMAX 70mm destinations and one of the world's largest cinema screens. Seeing the film in IMAX lets you appreciate the incredible detail, composition, and scale of 1.43:1, exactly as it was intended to be seen.

Whether you're studying graphic design or screen and media at ACDC or you're just a regular movie goer, this is a fantastic opportunity to explore how storytelling and design come together to create an unforgettable cinematic experience! 🍿🎨
