Design 111 - Project 2


So far this year my best project was “the joint”. As instructed by the brief I made a series of diagrams exploring the movement of my chosen joint – the finger. My next task was to make a model based on these diagrams. The use of wire in my model emphasises the movement and relates to the delicacy of the pencil lines in the diagram. Finally I made a series of drawings illustrating the different stages of the movement of my model. Overall I felt that my final model and drawing related well to each other and were both aesthetically pleasing and well crafted. One website that inspires me in my work is 2modern Design Talk which showcases and discusses interesting design from around the world.

Review

Well I have been working my way through the class list and I think I have now seen nearly everyone’s blog. I found a selection of great work and have been leaving comments on those I particularly liked, as well as on those who seemed to share my interests. I also replied to anyone who left a comment on my blog. I found it really encouraging to get positive feedback on my work from other students through these comments. The blogs that caught my eye the most were those that had really interesting and unique layouts and images. Some of my favourites were:

Stacey – she has some amazing work and an eye-catching header.

Max – there are alot of interesting things on this blog. I especially like the layout of his posts & his header.

Ariana - really nice layout, simple but effective. Her posts are interesting to read aswell.
