Speakers

talk about lack of posting.. My bad, I have a life now. :/
Anyway my quickly CADed up speakers and craply rendered image..
There's a weight at the bottom so it rocks.. :)

Photographic Storyboard

Speaker sketches

SO I have to design and model up some speakers for my CAD class. SO sick of Solidworks right now though...
Anyway, just some of my sketches.. not sure what I want to do yet but I need to have some modelling done by friday!

Chess Set Multimedia Presentation

IT IS FINITO!

Well it was last week.. but I finally have it on me to post up for public viewing :)

my chess pieces!

I htink Im finished with the modeling! Just MINOR tweaking of the rendering thats left though I can probably get away with not doing it.

TIme to work on my video! Not looking forward to the render time...

too much solidworks

OMG.. I am spending WAY too much time on Solidworks.

I need to better divide my working time with my other subjects but with next weeks deadline I don't like it just sitting there when I am not even halfway done and NOT  happy with my work at the moment. DAMN YE DISSATISFACTION! Though I guess I do have it to thank for most of the work I've done that I have been extremely proud to call my own.

Anyhows, here is a screen shot of my work so far..

Colour scheme is not working right now as I don't have a defined palette. Spending time on colourlovers looking for contrasting colour schemes to use on my black and white chess sets. OR I can just find one I really like and invert the colours (if the inverted palette looks good). I think I am going for a cool/cold vs. warm/hot thing going. 

Still need to fix up the stupid ROOK. I kind of like it but I don't because I feel it doesn't tie in with the rest of the set well (though not having it rendered at all is just exaggerating the fact). I haven't even designed the board yet, I should do that before I go to bed, or at least have some ideas down on paper so I can play around on Solidworks with my ideas. 

Blah. Blah. CAD. Ramble. Ramble. UNI. Blah. Whine. Bleh...

Ah life..

BANANAkNIFE

Just a little bit of fun.. a running joke with a friend.

UNI update!

Just a little update on what's been going on at uni recently. 

Below you can see some cardboard coat hangers which we designed for our Structure, Form and Material in Industrial Design subject. We were asked to design and construct a coat hanger out of fashion card (or any lighter weight cardboard) which would be able to hold a 2.6kg winter coat. The photo below is a display of some of the designs from the course.

Level 6, Building 6, UTS

This was my design and was lucky enough to be chosen for showcase. Mine was the lightest on display (that had already been weighed) at only 21g, i think..

Next is from my Ergonomics class. We were asked to make up personas to test our interface designs on. This is one of the personas we had in my group which I made up. Her name is Chi Chi, a 70 year old retiree who spends her time making crafts which she sells at weekend markets around the city.

we had to cut up magazines and things to stick on paper to represent our personas. Definitely one of our funner classes this semester.

And alas I am on my mid semester break with lots of work do to before the break is over..

Visuals #3

Really quick, rough one of the Hudsucker tower..

Visuals #2

 Mussburger's Office (from the Hudsucker Proxy)

Not done yet need to tone down the saturation and up the contrast a bit..

Business card?

If you saw my post before about the Golden Tickets I'm selling on Fiverr...

Yeah I don't know where I was going with that sentence but the point is, I thought I would design myself a business card to post with the tickets..

So here it is!

Front

Back

I made a little thank you card too! :)

I don't have them printed professionally.. I just print it on normal copy paper and stick the two sides together.

I'm heaps pro!

Production design Visuals

Visual # 1 - The boardroom :)

visuals

WIP of some visuals for my production design pitch on friday..

I'm selling golden tickets for $5!

Based on the golden tickets in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', both the text on the front and back are customisable; 'company' name (fake or otherwise), the prize (if you don't want to see Willy Wonka's factory) and the terms and conditions on the back.

If want my to make you some of these babies just head to fiverr.com

Buy 5 of the same print and get 1 FREE!

GAH!

Slight pause from my usual (but by no means frequent) designy posts..
TUMBLR IS GAY AND WONT LET ME POST SHIT (excuse my french)

But yeah. back at uni, one week has gone by. And there is one way I know I'm REALLY back at uni, I'm cutting up cardboard on the floor again! HOORAH! Not really. I have having limited supplies of stuff. I need to go by more cardboard. I always feel bad for 'wasting' resources when im testing when I know I dont have much of the material. Especially when I can see the amount of it reducing as I go. I'm one of those stingy, eco people. I dont like to spend money and I dont like seeing material going to 'waste'.

In my mind good prototypes are perfect in terms of that design. I hate seeing things not work. i hate making mistakes. Everything needs to work. Every bit thought out thoroughly.

I hate being a perfectionist sometimes. Need to stop thinking and just do. In the words of Nike.

Oh and I still havent found something to write with... but for once i know where my stanley knife is.

SUBMITTED!

So I have FINALLY submitted my shirt design to Threadless!

Please support me and score (preferably a 5). Just click the link here. There is also a link on the left column.

I really need the money that I could receive from getting it printed so that I can make it to Spain for World Youth Day this year.

Thank you everyone! And don't forget to spread the word!

LAYOUT SUCKS
