Pizza Panic Write Up

- The document describes the first week of work on a project called "Pizza Panic" where the goal is to create a model of a retro-style pixelated pizza using various materials. - The writer created a mind map and gathered the necessary tools like a scalpel, ruler, and colored plastercine (modeling clay). They carefully constructed a pixelated pizza base out of yellow plastercine and added red plastercine pepperoni slices. - Orange plastercine was used to simulate sliced cheese in various sizes covering most of the pizza base but leaving some yellow showing through to indicate it was a pizza. The pieces were carefully layered to resemble an actual pizza.

Pizza Panic write up

Week One
Today I started by creating a mind map in my personal log book. This is
something I will refer to time and time again to make sure I am using the correct
colours, tools, equipment, materials and following model design ideas.
The first thing I did when I got down to K012 was grab a modelling board so that
when I was cutting out the plastercine small hairs and flakes wouldnt get stuck
to the plastercine. I then got out a scalpel for crafting my models and out-ofbackground objects. This went well as I was constantly aware of where the
scalpel was and made sure the people around me were aware that I was using a
dangerous implement. No one including myself got hurt.
I also got out a ruler so that I could measure the ground lengths for the pieces of
yellow card I used as cheese. Taking a permanent black marker I drew multiple
holes, the same you would see on Emmental cheese. I did this on 4 pieces of
yellow card until the print appeared to be genuine and did not appear to have
many large gaps between each hole I drew.
The first thing I constructed out of yellow plastercine was the pizza base. To do
this I used the scalpel to cut corners of so the pizza looked pixelated as this is
part of the retro theme I am trying to show.
This took roughly 10-15 minutes but due to several distractions I lost focus. If I
hadnt allow myself to become distracted I would have been able to finish the
pizza base in under 10 minutes.
Then taking red plastercine I cut out 3 pixelated pepperoni slices. After I finished
crafting the pixelated pepperoni slices I put them to the side and swapped to
using the orange plastercine. The purpose of using this was to simulate the
appearance of Red Leicester cheese sliced in small rectangles differing in sizes. I
used these to cover most of the pizza but leaving small shades of yellow left so
that people could tell it was a pizza.
(The sliced cheese aka the orange plastercine was not made to look
pixelated as it already had the visual appearance of sharp corners, this
is how it is affiliated to my retro pixel theme).
After crafting the pixelated pizza base, the pixelated pepperoni slices and the
sliced rectangular cheese slices I proceeded to layer them so that it looked more
like a pizza. First I used the orange plastercine slices to cover the pizza as this is
symbolises cheese and wen building a pizza the first thing people do is cover the
base in cheese. Next I precisely placed each pixelated pepperoni slice, making
sure to leave a reasonable amount of space between each one so it did not
appear to be over crowded.
