| | Inspiration
My first inspirational approach was a fast-paced endless environment, because it seems as though my sun never sets caused by my busy schedule. But I find myself wishing to have the free time to kick back with a magazine and relax. I chose to promote Oggy's Army because my friend and co-worker, Dan Seward, is a talented graphic designer that teaches me something new everyday I work with him. I wish my desk (life) looked this simple and calm, but the broken pencil is a simple representation of my reality.

| | Problems and Solutions
One of my main problems was with my lighting. For some reason light was shining through my other objects (desk, chair, etc.) when I set up the spotlight from the lamp. It was brought to my attention that I didn't have shadows enabled from the options box for my light. Once I turned that on, everything seemed to work fine.
Another problem I encountered had to deal with specific textures that I wanted for my objects. My scene could have turned out better if I used the ones I found, but unfortunately they didn't turn out the way that I wanted them to. I was being extremely picky with how they blended togetheror actually how they clashed together, so that is the main reason why I didn't use them in this project. Overall, I think if I had more time I could have picked a better combination of textures to create a better effect for my objects.
