You're a 6'r

Brainstorming:

 I decided to create the soap bar for my brother, and I chose to create a design of a cricket field on it because he likes the sport. I brainstormed sketches for the project on Notability. My original idea was simply a cricket player hitting a ball. To add more details, however, I added a stadium wall in the back, as well as a pitch. I wanted to add detail, but not too much as to not clutter the soap bar. For the quote, I wrote, "You're a 6'r

Prototyping:

On my first prototype, I drew in all the details, and gave each feature a different height so they stood out from the other features. I also gave it a much shorter height than required, as it was a prototype, and my main objective was to see whether the details came out. 

The details came out well and distinctly so I continued on to the final product. I added the quote to the side of the soap bar using the offset and cut tools. However, since the side was a curve, there was a big cut in one part and a smaller one in another. I allowed that to happen, then using the extrude tool, cut off the extra part of the cut. I also increased the height from the first prototype.

However, when the print came off, I tried removing the supports and it left a lot of debris inside the text, which would not be good for molding.  I moved the text to the top of the design in some blank space and reprinted. In the middle of the print, I decided to add a little more size to the text, to make it a little more distinct. However, it didn't print for some reason, so I reprinted it the next class.

Mold Making Process:

I pressed the silicone onto the plastic piece and it came out pretty well. We mixed different colored silicones to make the mixture. Once it dried, I added the soap mixture to the mold.
