02.) Thingiverse Mashup: Concept Generation

Post date: Jan 18, 2017 3:30:30 PM

Assignment Description:

As a continuation of our investigation into the role of the remixed object, we will be creating out very own mashup of two (or more!) objects found on Thingiverse.com. When complete, we will each publish our creations, as derivative works, to Thingiverse. But first, let's take time to generate concepts. By brainstorming and creating multiple concepts for this assignment, we gain practice with these tools, whist increasing our likelihood of landing on a rich and potent concept for this project.

Create a new post on your process blog that illustrates ten or more concepts for thingiverse mashups,

Assignment Requirements:

1.) Using Tinkercad, generate a minimum of 10 concepts for your Thingiverse Mashup.

2.) Each concept should include at least two 3D components sources from thingiverse.com.

3.) Create a new post on your process blog, and include a screenshot of each concept (for a minimum total of 10.)

4.) Along with each screenshot, include a brief description of why you chose the two objects, and the relationship created or idea implied by combining them.

a.) Choose your objects wisely!

b.) Be sure to include a hyperlink for each object you use (in addition to proper attribution this will make it easier for you to find these objects again later on!)

5.) Include a title, and an introduction that touches on your understanding of Remix Culture.

Complete this assignment by the beginning of next class (Wednesday, January 25th).
