Fusion 360: Initials rendered with different materials

The Fusion360 Initials models have a background of a dried salt lake. I decided to use this background due to the nature aspect and colours. Due to myself being a landscape architecture student I thought I would add something reflective of me. Also, there are no bright colours that draws the eye away from the model.  It is also blurred which resembles an image being taken and the focus was on the models. 

Material 1: Titanium

Titanium is one of the strongest metals whilst still being very light. This resonates with me due to when I play many sports I may be one of the smallest but i'm still strong. The shine possesses also intrigues me.

Material 2: Gold

I selected gold as my second material due to the strong relationship I have with gold. My favourite atch is a gold and it was given to me by my grandfather. Its a very special watch that I wear all the time.

 Material 3: Pine Wood

I decided to select pine wood as my third material to reflect my degree which is landscape architecture. The pine trees are exceptional and are prominent at my grandparents home. 

Material 4: Polystyrene

I chose to explore the use of polystyrene as my 4th material as I see it as a strong structured material that is relatively easy to source cheap.

Photoshop Task

Below is my original paper model of my study created with a different textural element. I layered bricks on the outside as they are the exact same brick my house is made from. It holds significant meaning to me as its the only house i've lived in my whole life.
