I'm currently taking a Rapid Vis course (DESN232) for the summer and these are my first two projects. The first was baby toys. The focus on this project was shape and color. This is just a simple toy that grows with the baby from infancy to toddler. The toys start off as individual pieces and later can be linked together to create a pull-along toy. The material for this toy is glossy plastic.

The second project was to create a furniture that had two transformations and three functions. I created something for the kitchen where it starts off as a cutting board/ extra counter space and eventually tranfroms into a dining table for two or four. The material is brushed metal and wood for the cutting board.

Materials: Prisma Markers, white ink, pastels, pen

Oh, and my wrist is no longer in a cast. So these are post cast days. The ones before these renderings are cast days. I was drawing with my body basically. People had fun watching me in class doing marker renderings with a cast that restricted me from bending my wrist and elbow. Thank god those days are over.



For my 132 B Perspective and Rendering class, we were given a seating project. I decided to do a commerical airplane seat. This seat has its own booth and it can slide out to become a bed. My tiffs about this one is that I wish I created more contrast in colors and made the environment a little more interesting. I chose the bright colors since I noticed that most commerical airline seats are dark blues and grays. I wanted to make this a little more intricate but I procrastinated (as always) and had to just go with a simple solution.

Materials: Canson paper, Prisma Markers, Pastels

projects




This project was my first in 120B Introduction to Industrial Design. It's not a very clean model but I blame my broken wrist. The point of this project was to encompass a designer of my choice through a model with any material. I chose Elena Manferdini who is an architect and currently teaches at SCIARC in Downtown LA.

Material: Aluminum




This project was my last project in 120B. We had to portray a song of choice through a model. I chose "Re-Folk" by DAT Politics.

Material: Various sizes of screws, aluminum wire, acrylic paint
