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.

Title: Lap Wave Desk Inspiration: Ocean/Wave glass sculptures and The Great Wave off Kanagawa print by Hokusai Difference from typical furniture: A typical lap desk is formal looking, just metal and a plain one colour platform. I wanted something that's less traditional and more sculpture base, one that looks like an art piece and might benefit some users with the wave patterns as holders. Function: It's a lap desk! Those computer desks are portable and you can put them on your lap to hold your laptop on. Others might use it as a standing desk by putting it on top of a regular table Intended Location: Homes and maybe a less traditional office Intended Audience: Students, office workers, people who need to do work standing or work portable Here are the renders for my lap desk, I made two versions of it. One in an Oak material, one in transparent plastic with a slight blue colour just to make sure it would appear in the render. I made the decision of the transparent one bec...

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...

Memorial Jewellery Documentation II

Here's part two of my memorial jewellery piece, the final renders and explanations for my decisions on this project. The functionality of the ear cuff is still iffy to me. I tried to create a hinge for the bottom curve so that it would make sense as a piece that uses the earring hole, instead of just being a metal that hangs on the ear. But overall I feel like it is still lacking in that portion of the design because it doesn't fully make sense. I would assume that you'd have to wear the bottom part through the earring hole before clipping the back end together and hooking it over the top of the ear. And because I created it as a hinge-based opening, I had to pair it with a snap post closure instead of the screw back I had initially chosen. Theoretically, this ear cuff curvature would have to be adjusted from person to person because it's more personalized to fit an individual's ear shape. Plus it's designed to be aligned to the outer earlobe piercing so it wo...
