This is my logo design. I created completely from scratch in Adobe Illustrator, even though I already had a design from last year. I based the design on the shape of body armor. It is supposed to look like a logo.
This is my logo design after being printed on 1/8 wood. I believe I captured the body armor shape very well, and I am proud of my efforts on this project.
Today, I began by opening up a Tinkercard design I began last year. It was originally decorated for Trea Turner, so I had to recreate all the words, numbers and positions to reflect me. It took the entire class, but I'm glad it now reflects me instead of him.
This is the final product of my loog! It was exciting because it was my first 3D print! One thing I should have done differently is used a higher infill. I ultimately had to use 3% infill because it was going to take a very long time. In the future, I need to use a higher infill because the top of my logo caved in, unfortunately.
Because I took the Design Fundamentals course last year, Mr. D told me to make a T-Slot box. Originally, I had no idea what a T-Slot box was. After looking up examples online, and talking to some other people, I learned that in a T-slot box, you use screws to hold the 6 sides together. Thi sis my 2x2 T-slot box.
This was my robot laser cut. I designed this robot by, originally, just playing around with some cool shapes. After I connected the cool shapes, I decided to add some wheels and some "faces" to make it look like a robot! Along the way, some of my table mates helped me out with some constructive criticism. This criticism allowed me to improve my design, and I am proud of the final product! This project helped me get back into the Design Mindset following a lengthy layoff since freshman year.
This is the vinyl cutout of my logo. This is my first vinyl cut ever! It was awesome to finally learn how to use the machine, and I cannot wait to continue using it in future projects! I am happy with how my sticker turned out, and the gold vinyl makes it look even cooler!
This is my first draft of my laser-cut sunglasses. I modeled them off my design from las year. Upon printing them, I noticed that the nose piece was wayyy to long. I then made some measurements and printed another version. This version, everything was scaled down to much. I then was able to fix this, and print a wood copy!
This is my wood model! They fit well, and I am happy with the way that the nosepiece turned out. Nonetheless, Mr. D told me that he wanted me to expand the eye pieces to allow a more comfortable fit. I am going to work on this next class, and plan to finish this project soon.
These were my final 2 versions of my glasses! The smaller frame (As seen in the row above as well) fit a little to tight, so I made some adjustments. I increased the overall frame length to 5.7 inches (from 4.7 inches) and they fit perfectly! I am very proud of my work during this project, although, I recognize that I need to be a little more efficient. I should have been able to isolate all the issues and correct them in less drafts then I ultimately did. I need to work on this as th eyea progresses.
This is an early sketch of my clock. You can see that I am incorporating the sketch of baseball bats over the clock to represent the number places. I will continue to add details, and finish the rough sketch, during next class!
I have finally finished the first sketch of my clock. As you can see, I have all 12 number places covered by an end of a bat. I will continue to tweak the bat, however, and expect it to look a lot more refined in days to come!
This is a second version of my clock. I erased the overlapping parts of the bat, and I believe that it makes the clock look a lot less complicated. I will also work to add a central item to the bat. I am considering adding a baseball glove or a World Series trophy to the center of the design!
Today during class, I finished making my rough draft on Inkscape. During the process, I learned how to use the Transform tool to tilt everything by increments of 30 degrees. I also faced adversity when I spent a lot of time originally making my first file, then realized I had not staggered the bats and bat knobs.
This is my final draft for my clock in Inkscape. I will laser cut this, and the glove will be vut out from the rest of the clock. This will be glued on top of a piece that is the same dimensions as my clock. This will make the cutout of the baseball glove look even better!
Over the last few classes, I was dealing with the issue that I wanted to etch my glove but cut my clock. After trying multiple potential solutions, I finally was able to figure out how to make it work. I will now cut this out today. For my artisctic aspect of my project, I plan to paint the clock part white and the glove part brown. I will then paint the end of the bats brown also. I think it will be great.
