finale papercraft

 This time around is about refining and crafting our ideas, i updated and created larger sizes for all of my shapes, and will be creating them in class to see how they hold up.

March 13th
After considering I'm not challenging myself enough, I'm gonna create moving parts for this train 
With a gearbox to hold an axis connecting the wheels. This will allow the train to rotate its wheels and add more life to the object.

I'm in the process of the experiment. With the hollowing out of the gearbox for the axis. And re-sizing the entire train model a third time.
After final cuts from the laser printer, it went to folding and gluing, the choice of colours came together well, and the final look is clean. I could add as many copies to create a full train set. If I were to add touches, it would be to find a better way to make the wheels spin, as the idea did no work as well as planned.

The final design looks clean! and I'm glad the revisions of the texture of the cart worked, and the copies of the train models look identical. This project was challenging, from getting plans to to printer, these new skills are things I didn't know I could learn.

 Project one After viewing the documentary and getting some taste of the big word design, we were asked to pick a designed object from it and put it into the thinker's reality. Naoto Fukasawa pointed out human behaviours and our subconscious when asked to design a phone. Naoto noticed humans fidgeting and applied that theory to his phone, with purposeful blocky edges and cuts into smooth grooves. Naoto created a satisfying object in your pocket that serves its first functionality: a phone.  In today's day and age, phones are sleek, stainless steel and aluminum-looking metals; with this cherry red toy as a contrast, I was interested. I want to know if today y's technology matches vintage tech designs to reimagine future tech. I began creating quick sketches and designs to prepare for this awkward shape design. I also took inspiration from car models and toy cars to grasp the sharp and smooth edges. Final Product! The shaping was a good challenge and the dip in the screen add

 Project 6 Papercraft ideations I chose a shipping container and train cart for my project, with the container and train cart, the design allows me to print several copies and link them up, and have a lot of freedom with the different colours of train carts, and even the graffiti designs on the containers. Let me bring up some photos for example.  If I were to keep pursuing this project, I could design the trucks, or even train engines, or container cranes that work with shipping containers.  This project is personally fun because I can pursue the color's of paper while having a good design in mind. Because I'm working on Rhino 7, I'm trying to figure out where the commands are, adding surface to the objects is annoyingly slowing me down. Getting closer to layouts for the different boxes, working on the half-sized containers now and the container carriers. very excited. So far so good, now to print and see how these come together! I'm about to nap on my keyboard so I
