What I want to learn about

I want to learn more about designing on device such as Cad.

The reason I want to learn about it is because these skills also help me with other lesson involving devices.

I want to improve with my sanding and my confidence to use the machine because I usually take a lot of time to sand my work.

This year I want to make my work a bit better from the begining so I have a lot of Ideas when I am struggling.

DT poster of hardwood and softwood

This is my DT poster work about hard wood and soft woods diffrence. It is bassiclly that hardwood takes more time to grow and more expencive on the other hand softwood are shorter to grow and there are much cheaper compared to hardwood trees.

How I made my procreate poster

These are the basics of procreate this is a example of changing colors.

This is where you change your brush size and the texture by moving it up and down.

This is the setting part in there you can upload photos and extra edit on your poster.

These are all my layers. They have layers to each pictures textures and comments.

To insert pictures I used safari to help me search some of these pictures. hold long and press save to photos.

If you want the same color as you used before then hold long with your finger and you will get the color.

This is how I use diffrent brushes for my work. using diffrent textures make the poster more interesting. press elements and select wich one you want.

These are some exampleof the textures that I used.

I outlined it to make the pictures more standing out. I did it with different colors to make it vivid.

This is how I outlined my line straight. draw a line and hold it straight and you will get a straight line.

This is the straight line I drawed with the method.

These are for extra stuff like editing your text boxes and more.

In here you can insert anything you want. like pictures you saved from safari.

This is the undo and redo buttons. Or you can undo with two fingerrs redo withthree fingers.

This is the app I used to make my poster.

This was my normal poster but I wanted to improve my score so I updated my poster.

This is my new poster I added text to it.

Initial ideas

This is my poster for my initial ideas. Because at first I didnt know what to draw so I researched it in safari and saved photos and put some ideas on my procreate poster. I learned this skill to put images inside the box from Mr Douglas.

First I started with a simple title initial ideas. I made them in bubble writting so in a way it stands out more like a title.

When you are skeching in DT you need to draw in ghost lines. The reason is because it is easier to rubb out. Its also called ghost lines because ghost lines are supposed to be light and hard to see so as your lines should be.

This is the cunstruction lines. You draw like this so it will help you when your drawing a design wich is symetrical.

This is my first design. I did a mushroom because I think it represents a little bit of a symbol of nature.

This is my first finished design I will do like 4 of them so at last I can choose wich design I want to pick at last.

This is my 2nd design I did a ramdom shape at first but now I really like the shape and the unique shape. When you draw it there is 3 layers. The first layer is the shape of your design. The 2nd layers are where you add more details to your designs. Also when you want a more complicated one you can make a hole so you can see through it.

After you finished all of your design youneed to kow rubb out your cunstruction lines.

This is my last design. I made this into a camera a nice simple shape design so I might use this design for my overall design.

This was supposed to be like a bottle but, it dosnt look like it so I decided not to use this design.

This is my 2nd design I made this to a shape.

This is my after work by skeching rubbing out the cunstruction lines and finelining. In total I did 4 nice and big design because I didnt want like lots of small designs because what I like to is draw few of the designs and describe them more carefully and take more time on each one so I can get good expelenation and every single designs in my work will be more detailed.

This is my design it is a design of any ramdom shape that kind of turned out good and maybye I will use this design for my finall design.

This was supposed to be like a bottle but I dont think people will think it is a bottle so I probably would not use this for my design.

This is a simple classic camera design I dont think I will use this design because for printing in 3 layers it is too complicated.

This is the design I will hopefully use I like all the creative layers. And the mushroom kind of reminds me of the nature so I like it for putting my flowers, plants in.

This is how you render in DT. First you color with the color you want but you need to hold it at the edge so you will get a nice light color.

This is the secend step you color the surroundings and all around the shape in the same color but this time you need to color hard so hold the pencil hard.

This is how you blend in hold your coloring pencil in medium tone and your color will get blended in. And this is how you render in DT.

You also need to blend all around the shape like this.

But when you render you need to only use these colors. Wich are wood colors such as brown orange and yellow.

You need to make your design by layers and layers. This is my 2nd layer.

This is my last layer snd this is how you make one design.

This si my 4 of my finished designs. The mushroom the bottle a shape and a camera.

This si my title I made it bubble rigting so that I can render also in my title.

This my finished design work with color but I still have not added imformation about the design.

How I made my design poster

This is the what I learned from Mr Douglas. This how you can upload pictures in unique ways.

This is my other practice work. Now I am going to use this type of design and using this technices that I will use for my poster.

First I choose my line. I chose moonline.

Draw ramdom squiggle lines and upload the photo.

Theha nge the oppacity so you can see through.

Then press to the picture and select the others.

Then it should be like this.

Pull up with three fingers and press cut.

Finally change the oppacity back to normal to get your images in the line that you had drew.

I put some colors and details in it to make it more exiting and interesting.

This is some of the other examples

This is some of the front cover and layers. There are three layers and I like this design because this is not very complicated and it is nice and clear so that is why I like this design.

This is the design of the pot for the flower . This has a resin pour on it and it is one type of color so I think it makes a good combination.

This is the other design for the front. This type of design is more detailed and it is a very unique design.

This is some of the year 8 designs and there digital portfolio. It seems like the year8 is making a table. First I asked them to see there digital portfolio. Then I asked them again to see there initial ideas and there design work. I think after looking at the year8 work I have stuff to improve. Firstly, I think I should improve my digital portfolio skills. Such as using diffrent layouts. I think I should improve that too because I think I keep doing the same type and design over and over again so like the year8 I am going to use some of there ideas and improve my digital portfolio by that. For the initial ideas I think I am making my design normally but I wanted to improve my skeching and design drawing so I also took a photo of a year8 students soing some skching and rendering. The thing I like about this year8 is there using unique patterns on the table. I like them because some are not symmetrical but I can clearly see a patterns in each single design but some are symmetrical. Back to digital portfolio I guess now I need to use more and technological apps and design apps to create my new title only for myself. I also like using new skills because then it makes me more exited to do some more work because of the new skills I learned I am temped to use the new skills! So after half term break I am hopping that my digital portfolio and my design work is going to improve more than this month.

Continue on designing

This is my unfinished work but I am finished with rendered design and the comment but the arrows are not rendered in.

These are the colored in arrows. You might be wondering you are only allowed to use the wood colors but for the arrows pointing out from the design you need to color it in with the opposite colors since if you do it in a wood colors then the people seeing the design might think that the arrows is also part of the design but it is actually not.

These are some of the text I wrote. We need to describe about our designs whatis it do you like it what went well what can you improve. Or maybye describing your designs more detailed as you cannot tell much from the design.

This is some of my designs and the renderings. The bottle, camera, the mushroom and some of the text and details about my designs.

This is my finished work with plenty information about the design. There are 4 designs in total. The bottle, the ramdom shape, the camera and the mushroom.

Reminder that when you draw a ghost line it is named a ghost line for a reason because ghost you can not see it so the lines that you draw also must be hard to see like a ghost. Also the other reason is after tou finline it you can rub out the pencil line easily.

This is my new title for my initial idea 2. I think I made my title too big because it covered up the whole page.

After you have done all of the skeching then you start finelining the lines. If you made a mistake then you dont need to outline it if you skeched in ghost line.

This is a mountain design this is qute simple but I may use this also it looks better with finelining

This is a dog house design.

This is a candle design. I love this because it is simple with this dripping design.

This is a timer design. Firstly, I thought nobody thought that it will be the timer but they knew it so I am glad.

This is the colors I used and remember that the rendering colors neeed to be wood colors. This is some of the photos of the pencil design the finelined one as well.

The posters I used to get some ideas for my design

This is my other poster of my design poster. But this is not my real poster I am going to use because this one was a practice one to help me learn how to use the masking.

This is not my DT poster but I really like this poster because I use the procreate skills to make my science chimpanzee poster.

Continuing on my initial ideas

This is a stopwatch design. I like this design because it is very simple and I think it is really creative design.

This is a candle. This red bit is the firey bit to make it more entertaning.

This is a mountin design. And like the others this is a simple design with some details.

This is my title for my design. I made this design title color red as well because my last design my titles color was also red as well.

This is the picture of my whole design but I am still not finished with my coment and my color suround but I am almost done!

How I do my color surround

This is the first step of color surround. You first press dark around the edges where you want your color surround to be.

This is the second step of the color surround. Now you try to blend it in a little bit more with the dark colr and the medium tone color. Also why we are doing it at the edge is because we only want one edge to be colorful because really the whole design needs to be the wood color.

This is the last step of my color surround. After you get the hard, medium tone now blend the medium tone to light tone then light tone and blend it to the paper until it fades away.

This is some of the creative arrows I designed to not make evary arrows the same.

This is some pf the writting or comments I wrote. The things I wrote about is how I like this design what you can improve some of your parts in your design.

This is the arrows rendering. Most of my arrows I rendered around and inside but this one I specialy made this arrow more interesting. Like by shading the arrows light to dark from the left pr right.

This picture shows us how I render. The reason I chose this picture is because to explain diffrent kind of rendering you can do to your initial design.

This picture I am also showing the diffrence of the type of shading. That picture I shaded in the left to right but the other picture I shaded from the edge to the middle.

This is some of my designs. I like those one because it is very simple and we can have another layer behind to make this design stronger.

I could have changed the huge details I made so it would be way easier to make my design.

This is a sand stopwatch. I dont really like this design because I drew a shape that little bit looks like a 3D shape.

This is my unfinished work of my initial design. But instead I rendered all my designs and I did color surround.

And this is my finished work filled with comments arrows rendering and colors. In all of my design I think I want my over all design to be the candle, the mushroom, the shape or the moutain.

I think all my designs are great in my opinion but I think in all of my designs my final design will be the candle. In my card model I am going to make my design more completcated because I think it will be too simple to make my design plane.

These are the other designs I designed in initial design 2. This is a mountain.

This is a dog house design. I like how I made these colors because I think they really mach.

This is a stopwatch. I dont really like this design because it is too small.

Starting with my card test model

This is some of the cards I used. I used grey, dark brown and brown the colors are wood colors because the card test models is supposed to be similar with your real final design.

This is my last layer this is my base for my whole design. If you have curves in the designs how to cut them is not turning the paper you need to turn the cutting lnife to make a perfect curve.

This is me practicing cutting with the cutting knife. When you want to cut with the cutting knife in one go we need to press pretty hard to cut it. If you cut it soft it will taje ages to cut your whole design with 3 layers.

This is me cutting the layers of my candle design. To make a diffrent layer we copy the base of our design then add holes to make your design more interesting and better.

In your design when you cut the holes you need to cut more carefully since it is inside if you make some mistakes you might rip your whole design. But making holes are way better than sticking liitle pieceson your design.

This is the three layers I made from cutting it. I cutted three layers using cutting mat cutting knife and the card to make a card model. We make card model to test the projects out to see if there is anything wrong about the design we can change to improve the design.

This is my finished card model next I am going to use the foam to create the bottom of the test model cut it from the thin hot laser that will cut it. Now after we stick the foam together we will need to take my design in the lightbox.

How to cut foam

This is the wood to help me from making a good curve for our foam. We need to get a good curve soour design dose not look too much like a 2D design. aWhen we outline it we need to press hard when we are drawing the curves because the foam is hard to write on so we need to press hard with a hard strength for a dark line.

This is the wood on the foam. We need to hold the wood carefullyto warn that thewood might fall over and we dont mess our line.

This is the line on the foam. We drew the lines several times to make the line stand out more when we are cutting.

This is the plant on the foam and drawing a free squiggly line to make the design more unique, unusual and more exiting. I suggest the line you will make is not too complecated otherwise when we cut the linesit will be too hard and waste our time and y th end of it we changed it to an simpler design so from the beggining if you have a easy line it is easier and quicker to do it.

This is a hot wire cutter. It is hard to cut because the curves we need to turn the design carefullt to make a good curve around.

This shows how hot it is and the power to put it on and off. It has power and light to cut it with power.

This is how we cut. We cut with two hands on the foam and carefully move the foam to change the shape. If we doit too fast then the foam will be not smooth and nice so two hands and slowly cut. Be carefull this is jot wire cutter so if you put your finger on the wire it will burn.

This is safety mask. We wear this to protect our faces from the tiny pieces of the woods that might get it in our faces or our eyes, even worse if you get it in yoour eyes it will hurt so much. The saftey mask we can adjust the size to mach your head size.

This is the foam shape after we have just cut the shape with the hot wire cutter. As you can see this foam lookes really rough so to fix this we need to sand it but before we do that we need to sand more for the curve on the bandfacer.

This is the bandfacer. A bandfacer is a machine that sands your wood. But we normally use this machine because this sands much quicker than by hand and the sander is bigger wich means the work will finish faster.

When the bandfacer is sanding it is really chopping of little bits of wood down.And this is why you must wear saftey goggles or safety mask to protect your face and your body. Themore you push into the machine the more quicker the machine cuts your wood but then the more wood will blow of.

This is the foam after the bandfacer. Now itlooks way smoother but were not done yet we still have few more steps for the foam now we are finished cutting and were going to finish the final touches.

This is how you sand. Sanding with the sand paper means that we are only sanding the little bit for the final touches. When we sand we need to move our hands quick otherwiseit is going to take a long time sanding some other rough bits.

This tape is a both sided tape that means that the tape is sticky on both sides wich really helps because we dont need to roll any tapes or use two tapes. So first we put the tape on the card and then we peel the otherside to make both side sticky.

If you peelof the tape only one side then it should probably look like this. It will be a little bit transparent but to make sure it is sticky you can touch it.

This is the start button and hte emergency stop button. If you press the emergency button then it will stop instantly. To make the machine back on we ned to twist the emergency stop button to restart the machine and press the green start button again.

This is the mormal stop button for this bandfacer machine. It is below your body so you need to kick it with your feet since it is easier when you dont have any hands.

Finished design

This is my first initial design. This is my first design work so I didnt get a really good rendering.

This is my 2nd initial design. The rendering improved way much better and I learned about space what comments I should write about. In my second one I also did color blocks to make my design stand out more. We do color block to make your design stand out more but also in a diffrent color.

This is my test model design. My final design I chose the candle because the design was really simple and good and relaxing to put a plant on it.

This is all the works I did in DT. My 2 initial design and the card model. Next we will take photos in the lightbox and after we do the developing of our design.

Using the lightbox for photos

This is the pictures in the lightbox. I took a picture with every plant in diffrent angles.

This is the plant and the pot together side to side.

This is a photo from a straight angle. We can see the plant less.

I took this pictures from the side. This is my favoraite one in these.

This is the best one we have seen so far. There is not much of a shade the backround is less distracting without the shade.

This is another angle from the side. It looks pretty good.

This is a straight photo but changed my angle of the design. This plant is my favoraite plant so far.

This is my favoraite photo because i edited this photo to make it brighter and to dissapear the shades. We make the shades dissapear because then the design will stand out.

This is the edit page we can change the lightness shades style and more.

This is the filter place we can change the style of the color for your picture. After you have selected the style you can edit that version so that you get a wanted phot.

This is the crop place. We can crop the photo or you can change the angle of the picture or flip the image.

This is the lightbox the box that we used to take photos inside here. We close the lid because then the light will come.
