I have a Labrador at home named Buddy.
I signed up for design fundamentals because design and engineering has always interested me and I knew I always wanted to do something that involved it when I grow up.
I would really like to be able to make an airplane since they have always caught my eye and the physics behind them is super fun to learn about.
I hae never made anything, however I love using OnShape for Engineering CAD and I am really interested in learning about 3D printers.
My dream job is to work for NASA but I would love anything that has to do with engineering.
These are some of my first sketches I have done from a birds eye view. There is also one picture of the cover of my sketchbook which was the first assignment we had. It was also my favorite assignment since I had freedom to decorate and be as creative as I wanted.
After we learned what ghosting was, we drew 12 circles and tried to create designs to fill the empty circles. It was difficult to think of circular things when I was put on the spot but I liked the designs I created. I took inspiration from a fishbowl I drew to depict Bikini Bottom from Spongebob.
For our first real homewrok assignment, we had to choose one letter and draw it 16 ways. I chose the letter S because I thought it was the easiest letter to get creative with. My favorite drawing I did was a rocketship with smoke making the shape of an S.
After getting ideas to illistrate letters in a more creative way from the last assignment, our next challenge was to use our initials to create a logo. Since my initials are AK, I felt like I had many options. I tried to include the initial for my middle name (S) however I couldn't think of any way to make it flow in anice way. I am super happy with the final results!
After I spent a lot of time brainstorming ideas for my logo, it was time to sketch the top 3. For one of my sketches I shaded the background when I wasn't supposed to so I redrew it. I tried my best to incorporate either science, music, or ice cream in my logo since those are all things I like. In the end, I decided to go wiht the music note on the bottom on the K which creates an A. Overall, I think my logo is very creative and am super proud of it.
The main software we are using in order to laser cut is Adobi Illustrator. Since I have been using OnShape, it took me some itme to get used to the different properties and tools, however I got the hang of it pretty quick and tried some practice excersises like manipulating shapes by merging, intersecting, and cutting them. Lastly, I wrote my name and gave it a cool border so I can use that as a blueprint for when I make a keychain with my name.
