Hello Post
One area of strength I have in designing is that I become very passionate about my projects, so I will always do whatever it takes to finish the things I make on time. One area I think I can work on is being more independent. If something doesn't work the first time I tend to just give up and ask for help immediatlety. I want to get better at persisting through challenges by myself.
Three things I want to commit to in the documentation of my learning and projects...
I will take my photos in good lighting and with no distraciting backgrounds.
I will keep my site up to date and in an easy to follow chronological order.
I will expand beyond surface level explinations in my descriptions.
ORIGINAL SKETCHES FOR PARTNER PCB DESIGN
After looking at all of our designs we decided on number 1 of Ronans, the palm tree. We chose this because it reminds us of the summer time and seems like a challenge.
Schematics and Circuit Board
For this project, I worked with Ronan and we decided to build a palm tree that is the color green! Something I will remember after designing this is to make sure none of the components are overlapping or touching each other and to double check by going to 3D mode.
10 ideas for my speaker
Post-it Feedback
The most significant thing I took away from this feedback was that people liked the UFO idea more because it was more creative and I could add more to it, unlike the basketball hoop.
Better Design Drawing
I believe this is an excellent design because it is creative and I love the aspect of the sphere on top. By choosing this project I am challenging my current skill set by making some abstract shapes on rhino which I am not very good at using. I also will have to figure out a way to make it look realistic.
80% of Design
I decided to switch up my project to be more like a robot type design. I think this will be cooler and feel more confident in making it. I am pretty close to finishing now and just need to add the speaker holes.
