week 3

early test design for lazer cut.

I remapped the design twice and plan to cut and assemble later today

craft/ composition/ concept

concept:
This week we designed an award for another person in honest. the idea was to manifest a genuine feeling a gratitude for someone and give them an award. I chose to make a trophy which highlighted progress.

craft:
the design process took me for a loop. i had to redesign about 5 times in order to get a solid model. the dimensions were a bit off in the image above and i even changed the logo from the iconic superman theme to a original work.

composition:
the trophy has two side to view the main focus. i have a circle shaped object a top a box that acts as a podium to draw attention towards the circle. I had the laser cutter etch text into the wood which acted as the title and description of the award.

craft/concept/compostion craft: after the cut of the trophy and assembled it, sanded it, and painted it .then we set a thin layer of glaze over the surface to give it a nice coat and to protect it. concept: the trophy stands sturdy and has a slight shine to it. its a piece that can easily fit on a shelf or cabinet in a house. its a decently small size. the base in 4x2 inches and the trophy logo stands 6 inches tall. composition: the way i set up the trophy was to have the base be smaller than the logo. I wanted people to see the logo first then the base. The base holds the information of what the award stands for and also the name of the person who will receive it.

week 2

craft / concept / composition  made a box to test the lazer cut with a simple design.  concept: the second week we had to show that we knew how to make a simple box using the materials of the class. I designed a simple box with a simple cut out design on a single face of the cube. The idea was to transform an 2d image and design into a 3d interact-able object in real space. the cube came out perfect. craft: in order to piece the cube together I used a tab system in which the cubes sides either: stuck out, or caved in. each piece fit a different side, similar to a puzzle. i glued the sides together for extra protection using wood glue.  composition: the cube is set up to take up real world space. i placed a design on one of the faces to create an opening to see through the cube.
