I was advised by my tutors to choose objects that would produce random irregular shapes in the scanner, eventualy the object I decided to scan consisted of a split acorn with wood shavings stuffed into it, as I was interested in the form that it might produce. The Picture above shows the results of my scan and a series of design sketches which I used to explore concepts. Looking at the scan I was interested in the juxtaposition of smoothe and rough surfaces thus giving me the idea of using a sleek clam shaped design which clamped the trash in order to store it.
I further developed my design on 3DS max as seen by the pictures above. This refined design is especialy made for storing a variety of cards and boxes. The main gap down the middle of the trash can allows for the oversized pieces of card board to stored, where as the gaps in the outer shell of the trash can allows smaller bits of card to also be stored and seperated from the lager pieces. I designed my trash can to especialy catter to large pieces of card because I think they have to potential to be recycled and reused in different assignments rather than being thrown away which I see all too often.

ReplyDeleteYou've really used the 3D scans to your best advantage and you can really see the design process in your A3 sheets. The presentation of your work effectively demonstrates the technology used as well as hand drawn elements.
Through your presentation I was able to effectively see what your "trash can" was about. The cardboard from left over materials that you found as part of the environment in the studio and using that as the "junk". Incorporating this into your trash can to come up with such a design. I can also see elements of the literature in this design such as the overall use of organic cells which is seen in the shape.
The A2 page really showed the functionality and scale of your final product and I thought the layout and use of colour really stood out. The quality of the work was of a very high standard. Based on these two A3 sheets however I probably could not tell as well what your design is about which is why your A2 sheet was so helpful.
Overall an extremely well designed piece for your "trash can". The presentation has a nice layout and shows that you have developed from your 3D scans and presented it in a way that is of very high quality.

I really love the colour scheme on your A2 sheet..
ReplyDeletei reckon the A2 sheets provided so much more info then your A3 sheets.
your A2 sheet provided us with the scale of your design, how it would be used, and where you intended to place it in the studio.
this is a really well thought out project and was presented very well indeed.
