Week 8 - 3D Design


This week we reviewed concept realisation and worked on our 3D Designs for exhibition.

Task 1: Concept Realisation

This task asked us to select materials, tools and equipment necessary for our 2D Design for exhibition. Our group 2D Design is the Web page for our Helmet Cover.

Materials:
  • elastic
  • nylon / spandex
  • pins 
  • cotton
  • paper
  • pencil
  • helmets
  • white paint for plinth
  • helmet covers

Tools:

  • sewing machine
  • scissors
  • software

Equipment:

  • computer
  • video camera
  • camera
  • mannequin
  • plinth
  • internet
We have discussed these items and requirements many times, as part of the process we reviewed what we needed and would need in the future, making the overall process seemless and simple.
This process can be helped by Edward de Bono's concept of the 6 hats, particularly he white and black hat. Being systematic and looking for problems helps the process flow smoothly.

Again, an example of why you should always think a task threw, maybe these people would have had some help at hand if they had done so. Maybe they need to wear the white and black hat.



Research:

This week we had time to work on our exhibit design. 

This is the web page colour scheme and layout I have in mind.


This is the helmet cover pattern Paul drafted from the physical working model of the helmet cover.
The pattern will aid our 2D illustrations as we can see were the prints will join.
