3D day 3

DAY 3 
As soon as I got to college I got out the laser cut cardboard pieces and tried slotting them together, the laser cut pieces were meant to make a structure, just like the models we have been making alongside.

If i was to do the task again i would create loads of circles then slot them together. It would make the model bigger plus it would look more like a building that could possibly be designed further.   

I took a series of photographs some inside under a lamp, a few outside.
By placing the model on the floor this gives it some perspective and really helps someone who is looking at your photos.

What i really liked about the product was it had no real structure meaning the pieces intertwined to create a crazy looking piece.

I actually held it on my palm - this was a picture that shows how small the model is that i can balance it.

Sketchbook

I have put the completed work into my sketchbook, below are some of the ideas.

Here I have traced using tracing paper my original idea that i made using paper, I have only traced half of the picture as i thought this part showed off the main credentials of the could be light. There are two layers to this design, the bottom layer is the green colour and the top is the black outlines layer. So when you put them together they look like one. I think its hard to distinguish this is two different pictures layered  up.

What I really find interesting about this design is that it really focuses on the aesthetics of the light, and not the function. The green adds a youthful, fun and light exterior.  I am going to call it the Lime Light as the green plastic will give off a really warm green glow.  If I were to improve it it would actually stand by itself the light would be attached on the ceiling of the product.


This is a drawing of one of the insides of the models I made earlier this week, this is traced using tracing paper again, there are also two layers to the picture, the top layer is the colour and the bottom is the plane pencil drawing. What I really liked about this model was the way the light shined through the cut gaps this created great shadows. This again could make a great lamp but would need development.

The flower idea, this was the same drawing earlier of the Lime Light but done 3 times and overlapping.

The drawing on the right is also the same one but is the whole drawing. Its also been done on tracing paper, it has 2 layers.

This is me showing the two different layers, having the tracing paper to work with is a great way to add bits to  your idea. I had the under layer coloured red and yellow, then the top layer was just the outline. Some lamps actually do have 2 layers one will have cut out shapes the other is a wrap around. Ikea I know sell these types of lamps.
