3D day 1

Day 1 
Task 1

As soon as all of us arrived we immediately set the task of making a giant list of as many products or places as we can in a set time limit, I choose products as that's what im going to study at university. Products such as chairs, tables, scooter, stilts, and radio, are all possible. I put mine into categories because it made it easier to think about.   This is the final picture below, as one can see putting it into sections really helped me think about what products we as humans use. Another good method for this is walking round your house and writing down what you see.  I thought of some really silly stuff which made the task quite funny to do, such as stair-lifts, which wouldn't naturally be thought about as a young person. But stair-lifts are obviously popular among the older generations.


Task 2
To make and design  something out of these material, the products at this point did not have to have any resemblance or function, we simply just made abstract objects out of the materials given. 

These are a few of what i manages to make on the first day and second day, what i was going for with the top left was to really use Polypropylene's flexibility to make several curved pieces.  I did a red and yellow one, both had many splits cut into them using a Stanley knife, that process was fairly lengthy, as its not a easy material to cut.  For the yellow one i folded it and attached it at one end, this really let the light in as to when i took the pictures.

 The picture on the bottom right was a piece i made using just plane paper, and sellotape, my inspiration for this was those amazing Polypropylene lamps you can buy at Habitat stores. It would be a hanging light. Having the strips of paper meant the light had a nice glow.





Illustrator file 
Anna helped us through this stage, she took half a group at a time as there are not enough computers, the aim was to fill a page on Illustrator with shapes, that could be squares, circles, triangles etc.  I managed to print screen the process of me adding shapes to my page. The final outcome would be all these pieces joined together some way to create a structure. 

The first file is actually the finished product, my page was fully pact so i was a little apprehensive and exited to see it cut out on the laser machine on day 2.
