Outsourced Wearable Object: Concept Selection and Proof Sheet

 Outsourced Wearable Object: Concept Selection and Proof Sheet

Nov 14, 2020

Based on the feedback I got from people during the speed dating exercise I was told to merge 11 and 21, look into silver etching and maybe even create multiple different versions of 21 for all five fingers. The three different concepts I chose to go forward with were 15, 19, and 21. Although the feedback wanted lots of people to merge 21 and 11 I wasn't sure exactly how to start off making them in rhino, so I chose to start off with some concepts I can try to experiment with first.



Here is my proof sheet:


I forgot to document my process but most of it was just pure experimentation at this point and a lot of headaches.

Here is my first concept:



Here is my second concept:





I struggled a lot with this concept, it just wouldn't flow the way I wanted it to, so to get as similar to what I intended it to look like I had to manually move the flow after it was completed. I also tried to make somewhat of a grid here but it just wasn't working out when I tried to flow it along the surface so I gave up on that and chose to leave it for the actual final.

And here is my last concept


I think I will most likely stick to my favourite concept which is 21 (my second concept here), and if I can find the time to make five different versions I'll try and do so for the final. These are all overly simplified, I would probably have a lot of work ahead of myself for the final outcome.

Objectified Response

Objectified Response January 14, 2020 After watching Gary Hustwit's Objectified , I decided to compile a list of designers and the quotes I found helpful in aiding my ideas for designing my object. Karim Rashid stated, "Imagine that if you design a million chairs to date or however many chairs have been done in the world, why on earth should we have an uncomfortable chair?" which led me to choose to create a sofa for my project. Another designer that helped me come up with ideas for my sofa is Naoto Fukasawa, he stated that "people don't think about the tools they're using while they're using them" which got me thinking about how I often mindlessly just sit down on the sofa I have at home. So I observed my family and their habits while leisurely sitting around in the living room in order to see the possible design problems within my own home. While observing my family I realized that occasionally some of them slept on the sofa, taking up t...

[06.) BLOG POSTS: PARAMETRIC FURNITURE/STRUCTURE COLLAB: FULL SCALE PROTOTYPE] WEEK 4

Image
 Week 4 Our team went into the woodshop to get more pieces of the bench and shelf cut out with the CNC machine where we managed to cut the pieces of the bench as well as 1/3 of the shelves for the shelf design completed. Liro, Yuxin and I worked together in order to get all the bench pieces sanded whereas Chloe, Nadia and Daniela worked on properly printing everything through the CNC machine. Chloe, Nadia and Daniela had to slightly tweak the flat design for the CNC machine by creating a 1mm offset so that all the interlocking pieces could actually fit together, and they were able to successfully fix that during that work period! Here are some images I took while we were working:

Mesh Mashup: Selection and Refinement

Mesh Mashup: Selection and Refinement (January 27, 2020) The Mashup that I chose for this project is the Toilet Sharpener. It is a toilet that has a sharpener in the space of the toilet bowl. This mashup was due to my hatred for pencil sharpeners that don't come with anything to collect the shavings. The main idea behind it was creating the most unconventional lid for a sharpener that has nothing to collect the pencil shavings. These are the original objects from TurboSquid and Thingiverse that I chose to mesh with each other. Here is my Tinkercad model of the mesh. And this is the refined model of the Toilet Sharpener. I experienced a problem with MeshMixer where my mashup got really wonky all over after combining the two objects and using 'Make Solid' on it. So I spent a lot of time using the sculpt refine tool to fix the rough edges and make the sharpener integrate better into the toilet. If you don't look at the design cl...
