DD2 and some Form development too

So I will keep this brief, as I sanded off my fingertips in the sander 4 days ago.

First pic is a dd2 assignment to sketch/render in marker, a cash register.


Next, is the prep pic of what I am doing to my flashlight foam model to prep for the clay modeling stage.

Digital Imaging

Here are a few shots of some hw projects done for digital imaging. Basically, the goal of the class is to be able to draw everything we learned in design Drawing, on a digital format. Sketching and rendering are covered. Basically, it is to introduce us to the wacom and digital media as a tool for industrial design.

Still a bit shaky on the wacom pad, but here are some of my first assignments. The branding of the phone is not meant to violate copyright issues, it is purely a practice on branding the product rendering.

The Lettering is HORRIBLE

Haha. So last Wednesday was my critique for my design drawing 2 class. I don't know why I did it, because he didn't tell us to, but I put my failed attempt at lettering and call outs onto my sketches. I shouldn't have done that, as the whole class and I got a 30 min lecture on why it is important to letter well. It's ok, I loved the advice, I just wish the instructor would have given me more feedback on how to sketch the values better on the hairdryers.



Anyways, here are some sketch foam models of the handle piece of my flashlight project in form development. I tried to stay with my same design direction while varying the model slightly for ergonomics. I did this with each of the foam models by going around and surveying different people to see which "felt" better in their hand. Smaller hands like my girlfriend tended to like the thinner handles, while larger hands favored thicker ended handles.
