Process Book!

Here's the process book for the lamp, as promised.

Process Book!

Dew Lamp

Hello there, here's the final board for my lamp, with the process book soon to follow. Comments always welcome.



New Blog from the other section

Hey everyone,

In case you didn't know, I've been taking Howie's class this quarter, so I've been learning with the peeps from the other section. Jeff Engelhardt started a blog where people can post any materials info they have, so I thought you might be interested.

Product Placement

This video is cute in a ridiculous way, but the reason I'm putting it on here is at 1:42. It's better if you watch it from the beginning I think- more of a "HA!" factor. I got a kick out of it, thought someone else might too.

Some Iterations

















Hello!

Here are some iterations of the first lamp, and I will be redoing the Bs from last time for my final process book, which will be up here as well pretty soon.

Also, here's a song! It's one of those songs you just can't help but be happy listening to : )

Vector Art

I saw this amazing art and realized how simple the little illustrator renderings we do are- piece of cake. I recommend clicking on the preview and (ctrl +)-ing to really see all the detail. Sweetness.

Bs!

Yo there. I got some B's for you to look at if you'd like. If I do the pull-up one, I think I'll try out some petal-y looking things. I think the thing that makes the first one look the coolest is the graphic, so I dunno how much that matters. And I've got a few ideas for the cork one too. The most practical is my favorite. Guess which one that is?


B STAGE!

Solution to long lines in the RPC

A hidden cult of people wielding tricked-out laser pointers is gonna kill us all.

You can get one of these yourself for only $300!

Because these are still "A's," (<- look at all those ",' and ") I'm still sketching, but I think I'll have some 3d models in the next phase. I feel odd calling these 'concepts' as they're mostly just things that are pretty. I do enjoy the corkboard one, however, because I actually feel like there is some semblance of a concept there. Are these too loose? Any opinions? Again, does anyone have a favorite? On a side note, while I was uploading my pdf just now, I happened upon this article, which is pretty sweet
