In E-Comm we were required to make a container with a label wrapping. I took this a step farther and decided to make a company out of an idea for a coffee mug that I had. I wanted to create a coffee mug with a logo for a company of my own design with a saying on it that accurately describes me. So I started drafting and sketching out some ideas. I eventually settled on two different designs, and with a little help from Mr. Netterville, I was able to create my current logo and brand name, Early Bird Coffee. It was a little difficult to create a coffee mug in Maya, and even more difficult to make the handle. However I learned that when using soft select and adjusting the size and shape that I had 3d revolved, I could easily craft my handle and mug. This required a little outside help from a few of my classmates, but I greatly appreciated the help. I don't think there was anything that I would do different, except maybe try to set up a better scene for my mugs to be displayed in. Honestly, I wouldn't change anything about my process as everything went rather smoothly and moved quickly. My next project is going to be about a moving toy, and I'm sure I'll have to use soft select or maybe even a 3d revolve, so we'll see where it ends up. Overall I am very happy with the way everything turned out and am very proud of my work.
