Day Three of 3D Design

The Final day of 3D Design we focused on creating a product fit to a certain criteria. we were asked to design and construct a bridge within a group. however the bring must only consist of two points which touch the ground, the bridge must be higher that the table and it must be able to fit a specific car.

 

First we were asked to design a few bridge designs, however instead of sketching it , we were asked to construct it from our books using paper.

 

 

I really enjoyed doing this task and photographing it.

 

 

Then came the constructing process! within my group we just began to improvise with the materials given. Using my technique from the previous day, I was able to introduce my team members to ways of securing a base for the bridge.

 

We liked the idea of creating a tunnel ... so we began to experiment with this idea further.

The bridge was a success, however the care did fall off a few times. There were some advantages and disadvantages to the bridge. A disadvantage being that the sides were not designed well enough to keep the car on the track. An advantage is that the bridge was unique compared to all the other groups!

Day Two of 3D Design

Day two of graphic design, we were shown a PowerPoint presentation covering the areas of 3D Design that will be touched upon if chosen during the Pathway and Confirmatory stages. Then continuing from the previous lesson we were mostly focusing on structure. however instead of using  building materials like wood, we were giver spaghetti.

 

We were told to construct a structure which is able to hold three plastic balls. first I done some rough sketches and ideas. then I create a mini structure using Blu Tack.

 

 

Then using a glue gun, I was able to attach my components together to create this structure.

 

Then we were asked to create secure packaging for our product.

Our packaging was tested out and it was a disaster! Despite the fact that the packaging was till in tact the structure crumbled!

 

3D Design - Day One

Day One

On the first day of 3D we looked at ways to support a structure. we participated in a series of mini tasks in which we created a structure, and a support. this enabled us to consider how we interacts with objects and form.

First we were asked to design structures from random things that our Tutor said. like creating a structure from our door number ..

 

Creating a lamp from our favourite clothing. in this case I drew a top and worked my way around it to create a lamp!

 

Creating a car park and shopping centre from two vertical lines, one diagonal line and two horizontal lines.

Creating a form of transport from one circle, one triangle and one square ..

 

Creating a piece of jewellery from the design under your shoe!

 

Creating a mobile phone in the future!

 

Designing a plan for a two bedroom apartment.

 

Then after we were asked to design a structure that was able to hold a water bottle. we were given limited resources and material! I found this task extremely challenging however it was a complete success!

 

I tested my structure out using pens and pencils.

 

I began to add extra stationary to make sure the structure was stable.

 

 

Then I done a photo shoot of my final design.

 

Then I carried out the test to see if the structure was able to support the water bottle and it was!

 

Moving on from this we then had to create a structure strong enough to support ourselves. again we were given limited resources. I found this  task much more challenging from the first one but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

I began to just improvise with the materials given to create a structure.

 

Once again my structure was a success. My structure was able to support my weight!
