Week 10 - 3D

28/09/2010, Week 10 – 3D

After going though all our concepts, we now have time in class to work on our projects which is good because i really need to get cracking on my drafts and print out some pictures.

sometime this week im going to do all my testing for the project.

got all the lines on the picture ready for cutting.
here are the cubes im goin to stick them on.

Week 10 - 2D

28/09/2010, Week 10 – 2D

cutting foam - what is going to be the best way to cut it and the neatest way.
electric knife, hot wire? might have to stay home over the weekend and do some tests.
glues - what glue is going to be the best for sticking it all together and so that the paper doesnt crinkle.
working out the angles - how am i going to have the pictures facing so that people dont see just white foam, i originally wanted just two sides but mite have to do some tests to work out what looks good.

Group Exercise.
Stevie
Design process
Pretty clear process, could visualize the end project. Needs some testing, make a prototype. Go for it. Try different variations.
Concept communication
Pretty clear, end product matches up with the concept, not dark and gloomy but a happy vibe.

Amelia
Design process
Very well thought out, thorough.
Concept communication
Bringing light to the world.

Sarah
Design process
Well thought out, executed and a prototype that works. More experimentation with the swing tags, if she has time.
Concept communication
Having the prototype helps communicate the concept

Jarrod

Make a mini model to help with the communication to improve the final outcome or help visualize the end product.

Zac
Design process
Done some good experimentation. Going in the right direction.
Concept communication
Concept wasn’t really clear, but with some specific points it will become more clear.

Carol
Design process
Well thought out, got all the materials, showed a step by step process from start to finish. Complex but well planed.

Week 9 - 3D

21/09/2010, Week 9 – 3D

Make a list of your proposed exhibition works
- Photograph of a frog and make uneven levels using foam to make a 3D effect.
- Something from the drawing class
- And i want to make 1 more thing but im not sure yet

Itemise:
Dimensions
I want the picture of the frog to be A3 but maybe a square so there is not so much dead space around the outside.
Display requirements (hanging / floor space / special FX / audio / video)
Im thinking of maybe hanging it, or having it sit on a stand.
A short description of the concept
I think frogs are very cute and i have happened to capture one smiling. I want people to feel warm inside when they see this photo as no other state in Australia is known for there wildlife.
The name of the piece
Smile, And The Whole World Will Smile With You!
Materials used
Printed paper
Foam
Cardbored

Week 9 - 2D

21/09/2010, Week 9 – 2D

Jess and Zac show us their visual diarys, Jess shared us her ideas for her project and Zac showed us his logo designs.

Group Exercise

Coming up with some poser concepts for the exhibition, we all got into a group and start to throw some ideas around. We ended up with the idea of people standing in a row with paper bags in their heads with each letters of the title “uphere” printed on each bag. Each person will be holding something to do with each creative arts class for example: a mouse for the design students, violin bow for the music students, earphones for the multimedia students, paintbrushes for the art students and rulers for the architecture students. When mucking around working out how we will do this, we came up with a better way of taking the picture. Having a projector to project the name on a white background and selected students to hold up books for each letter.

Just mucking around with the projector for the design of the poster
Using the projector and the books to highlight each letter.

Week 8 - 3D

14/09/2010, Week 8 – 3D

Slowly getting all my materials together for the project
got the foam, just need to get the box for everything to sit in.

Didnt really do anything in this class along the lines of group exercises
We talked about the logo the whole time, trying to work out the final logos to present in the meeting on thursday.

Week 8 - 2D

14/09/2010, Week 8 – 2DHere are some of the designs i have come up with for 'uphere'
I dont really like the design that one of the staff members have made for the exhibition as i think the background looks like music bars, and that doesnt really include the design students.
