Little light, powerful beam 2.3

The laser cut is done! As you could probably tell from my last post, the design there wasn't going to work very well for this stage so, I decided to redo it. This time around I was thinking specifically of how it would look as a finished product coming out of the machine (it still takes inspiration from the photos, that just wasn't my focus this time around); setting up the layers, choosing the tonal values to align with the dept intended, everything was thought about. In the end I decided on a hexagon that would be mirrored and inverted down the centre (paying heed not to change the brick wall design so as to add a sense of harmony).

Here are the images of it after facing the mighty beam:

I was honestly quite amazed that the tiny lines around the outside of the design were actually cut properly (when I got to the machine I had to say a little prayer in hopes that it would actually turn out properly). I tried to clean it to the best of my abilities but after awhile I noticed that some of the black just wasn't going to come off and I inevitably had to accept my fate.

Until next time,

Stay queer (Y)

Folding Things - 1.7

For this assignment, my idea was to explore varying difficulties of objects just to see, formally speaking, what can be made and how things fit together while still maintaining a planar surface. I used this assignment purely for the purposes of practice and ideation for the next stage, taking the time to seek out different opportunities. Without further ado, these are my geometric creations: 1. I knew that I wanted to start with something simple to give myself room for building. This is a simple square rotated on top of another square, connected using the loft feature. Because it was an easier creation I wanted to show a couple different ways of unwrapping it. 2. Moving into more complex shapes, I still wanted to maintain, roughly, the same difficulty as the previous creation. Again, because of the simplicity, here are two ways of unwrapping it. 3. Here is where things started to get more complicating. I added more layers. The unrolling process was a bit more difficult than the pr...

Refined and Dignified - 1.3

Mesh Mashup V.2 Welcome back to another edition of the mesh mashup madness. The contents that lie herein give each viewer a sneak peek into the thoughts that take over my mind every day; don't worry, it's all rated PG. For this portion of the assignment I chose to use my previous design entitled 'Get to the Chopper,' where there were three bananas suspended from an aircraft. To further that design I decided to take the input that I was given in the group critique (more will be explained below) and expand upon it. I am super excited for you to see what I made and the steps that I took to get there. First, I want to show the original. This idea came about while watching a very outlandish instagram reel where a man does very peculiar things with bananas (again, its not dirty). The feedback that I had received on this piece was to add movement. It was mentioned that I would be able to form the ropes in such a way as to look like they are moving in the wind or to even go s...

I did all that!? - 1.12

This is the end *cries in rhino7* I will truly miss the work put in and the objects designed! There is good news though (some could call it a light at the end -or start- of the tunnel) - this is only the beginning of our creative journey. The years that we get to be excited about and the times when we will create our best works are still ahead. Let us breathe in the pandemic fresh air and exhale deeply, simultaneously speaking life into our journey. OBJECTIFIED I fell in love with some random chair that showed up in one of the scenes of the video (pictured here in the bottom right). When I tried to re-create it, I found that there were too many tapering edges for Tinkercad to be able to comprehend. I was convinced that I knew exactly what I was doing and that it was going to work out perfectly; in the bottom left of this image you can see how far my attempts got me. I changed gears and thought of changing the shape of the chair (this attempt is seen in the upper right). After hour...
