Outsource Wearable Object: Concept Generation

 

   These are my concepts that I've come up with. I only did 16 initial ones because I felt like I had a set of very different idea's just playing around with different concepts. 


   Currently, I'm leaning towards 4, 9, 10, 12, and 14. Though #4 might be lacking some originality and stability in the design. #9 really depends on how it will look in 3D, could look very awkward when I throw it into Rhino. #10 seems a little basic, but I think it might look cool as a design that's exaggerated enough to not be an "everyday" ring, but not too crazy so it's still wearable. #12 I think would be pretty cool, I haven't seen anything like this design yet. Even though it's inspired by the wood and resin style of rings that create a night sky or flames inside the resin. I think that might be a cool design however, the materials that need to be used in that might not work since there's a variety of colour, transparency, and material. It would look unique rendered though. #14 seems like a metal welding project, which isn't terrible. But might be too simple or not crazy enough for a wearable object that's similar to a sculpture on a ring. 
    Overall I have 5 designs that have their flaws and have a unique look to them. In the end, maybe after the discussion and feedback, I could mash up two designs or revisit one of the rings to exaggerate it further.

Papercraft Research

What is papercraft?      Papercraft, to my understanding, is a paper-made art and craft. Paper is the easy-to-find medium so it is easy for people to use paper to make things with, in our case we would be making 3d objects and understanding how folds, crease, and tabs should be connected in order to hold pieces of paper in place. Reviewing an article: Popupology      The Popupology shop papercraft caught my eyes first. On the Colossal article, scrolling through that article, everything seemed very busy and complex, which I totally love, but it's not really my style. The Popupology shop ones, on the other hand, seemed so simple but so cool that it caught my eyes. Especially the hand-cut out one, how that is just a simple cut-out flipped on the other side and having it pop out with the thumbs looking like it's intersecting, that really stood out to me. Because this reminded me of elementary and how we used to do these DIY pop-up cards for holidays, t...

Reverse Engineering: Progress 1

  The object I ended up going with was a pair of scissors for my reverse engineering project. I believe that's do-able for three weeks if I really pay attention to every detail.  Everything seemed simple until I actually started measuring things. I laid out a blueprint of my scissors that I drew... as tried to write out all my measurements the best I could. But realized that I had to do both front and side measurements. Along with all the curved sides, hidden angled chunks that were different measurements on the side and front views.  Another trouble I was having was that sides of the scizzors, because I was working with the scizzors still in tack. I haven't taken it apart yet, so there was only one side of the scissor I can fully see and measure. So I realized that I had been drawing the wrong size of the scizzor. Thankfully I didn't add details  As shown in the picture above, I thought it would have been a great idea to just measure everything from two angles at fi...
