Surface design: Wood Engraving!


 For my engraving I chose to use the provided birch wood that was set aside in the io lab for the classes! I felt that the light tone of the wood would really help show the different layers of my design in a more clear and beautiful way! 

These are the results:



The only problem I have with this is the little cracks as well as the uneven tone of the black. However on that same note, I actually think those things give my design character! Not only that, nut these imperfections match the Tajik embroidery style I emulated and bring out the nostalgia for me of the many copious amounts of imperfect yet beautiful pieces of hand done decor I have seen at home and from many family friends from Tajikistan as well!

I think this project was a success and I am proud of how well my design translated through the wood engraving!

Reverse Engineered object: Final Renders!

The final renders are here! This project was a long one and one where I had many outside factors that made it more challenging then it needed to be. From getting sick to my own program and computer glitching, I am happy to say that the many crises I had were overcome in the end! This water bottle is definitely one I can confidently donate to goodwill now that I have reverse engineered its components and rebuilt it in Rhino!  I still have much to learn and many things I most likely forgot, but this milestone was one well worked for and I am ready to move on to the next one!  Wish me luck!

Mesh Mashup: Concept generation

In Remix culture, no object is in one permanent state, instead, artists are able to reframe the narrative of whatever medium they are working with (song, artwork, design, object, etc.) into something completely new. This is done through the means of deconstruction, transformation, contrasting, and re-using other media. Remix culture is heavily used within storytelling, Rap music, graffiti, and more. 1. "Foot Stool" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1269059 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2152828 This first concept came about as a visual pun to me. I had first thought to turn a book into a chair, but then I found the feet and thought of foot stools! I find that books and magazines find their way onto foot...

 Due to my personal health issues and my packed scheduling, I will have to update this post once I finally get to my appointment with a prusa mini!
