complexity = good design?

meh.

Complexity may be impressive but it does not mean it is good design.

That's been annoying me lately.


This is the interlocking system done in my materials and tools class. It was the project that coincided with the cube that my professor allowed us to redo. I added a color and extended the interlocking pieces since it no longer was required to fit in the cube and no longer required to be black and white.

materials: bristol board

This is a camera I'm working on right now. The colors I just added on for the sake of turning something in for my class.
The lens part rotates and works as the on and off switch. You just slide the bronze part. I haven't added in buttons or really finalized anything other than the basic shape. So, a work in progress.



A rendering of a faucet using solidworks.




An injection molded plastic chair. A remake of the lawn chair I guess. I'm going to redo it with arm rests and the seat part of the chair needs to be redone.



This is a measuring cup and a pitcher done on the CAD program, Solidworks.
It is plastic injection molding.




This is a children's wardrobe, the final project for my materials and tools class. It was a group project done in two weeks.
It is modular, the bottom (blue) portion has two drawers and the top two pieces (yellow, red) has a bar for hanging clothes inside.
