Nameplate laser cut design
Backpack Charm
For this project we had draw something that we would want to laser cut to become a backpack charm. I chose to do an octopus because it is one of my favorites animals. The only challenge of this project was the actual printing process as mine got lots somehow.
Urban Installation
We had to come up with an idea of what improvement we wanted to implement in an urban area. The most challenging part was coming up with a solid idea that fit inside the installation area. I enjoyed making the specific items that went into the urban installation such as the swing I made.
Procreate Drawing
I had to draw multiple things such as a landscape, face, and cartoon characters. One challenge I ran into is the actual drawing part because I believe it is not one of my strongest areas. I enjoyed making the landscape the most because I think it turned out the best of all my drawings.
Adobe Fresco Drawing
We had to draw a sketch or plan of what we wanted to do in our Urban installation. The most challenging part was the solar panels on the roof. I enjoyed using a new app for drawing that was slightly different from ProCreate.
Logo
As a group we had to come up with two different ideas for a logo. One with text and one without. The challenge was getting used to adobe illustrating and coming up with an idea of what to do. Logos are hard because they have to be clean and cool while also symbolizing something. I enjoyed trying to make the logo and once I eventually got used to adobe illustrate it was a pretty cool app.
Code Block Vase
We created a vase using tinkercad’s code blocks and then will be printing it out on the 3d printer. A challenge was definitely the start and figuring out how to use code blocks to make a vase that I was satisfied with. My first vase did not come out the best so I created a second one which I didn't have enough time to print I enjoyed messing around with the different shapes in my vase and see what looked the best.
Three Layer Design
We used Adobe Illustrator to create a design using multiple layers. I wanted to create a ski scenery. I am very found of my product even thought it took me a very long time. The hardest part about this project was simply getting started and coming up with an idea.
Final Project
For my Final Project I decided to create my dream house. I used tinker cad to build everything in the house with a little help from the internet. The hardest part was creating the inside because tinker cad can sometimes be a little finicky when making an interior.
