Surface Design: Final Lasercut

 


Here is the final lasercut design for the surface design project. I played around with the values quite a bit before cutting, so that I'd get the perfect result the first time around. I am super happy with how all the different values translated into the wood. It created a visually interesting final product that I am extremely happy with.

3D Chess Set: Putting all the Pieces Together

Image
  For the final project, I was tasked to design and 3D print each key piece included in a chess set. I decided to implement my love of character design into my concept for the set, as I went with a theme of a sort of other-worldly and robotic set of pieces. I think each and every piece comes with a little bit of personality while still being unified with the other pieces. I am really happy with how all of the pieces turned out and it was really fun playing around with 3D technology! I took all the feedback from the peer review session into account when going into the final stages, and I am really proud of what I have been able to create. I'm looking forward to trying out more things involving 3D technology and 3D printing in the future. base models before meshmixer concept sketches bishop king knight pawn queen rook

PaperCraft Research: Hari and Deepti's Paper Lightboxes

Image
 When analyzing and reading the list of articles, I was immediately drawn to the work of Hari and Deepti and their visually captivating lightboxes. The couple uses the medium of paper to layer pieces on top of one another to create a stunning visual when put under a light. These boxes have a narritive element to it, creating a great sense of mood for the piece.  The simplistic style along with the way the light moves through the pieces speaks for itself. Their work is very illustrative in nature, and yet it brings in a whole other dimension by utilizing the material of paper. Hari and Deepti continue to create these works and have even created a narrative picture book using the style of their artworks.  The impact of the pieces when the light isn't utilized also creates an interesting work of art. Looking closely at all the small cuts and layers of the paper shows just how much work is put into every single piece. Every layer contributes to the mood and detail of the work. This sty

Reversed Engineering: Deciding The Perfect Item To Take Apart

Image
Here's the beginning of my planning for the Reversed Engineering project. I'll be honest when I say that this was a very difficult process for me. I had very little items that I was comfortable in messing around and potentially taking apart. I felt a bit restricted being in dorms as I only have the necesssities with me, while imagining all the cool and interesting objects I have back at home in BC that would be perfect for this project. But alas, I must work with what I have available. The first object that I thought would be cool to take apart and recreate was this power strip. I think recreating all the little grooves and holes in Rhino would be super fun, so this is the item that I'm currently leaning towards.  The next item is this headlamp that I found. I thought it would be interesting to look at the inner workings of it, specifically how all those small parts fit together, but it's definitely not my first choice. And finally I decided to take a look at my old com
