Class Work

For you future design students i just wanted to tell you a little about the types of assignments we are currently doing in the end of the semester.  First off, for Visualization and Representation we have the coolest project ever thanks to Professor Tew.  Basically, each student got to pick a car and make a swipe sheet (inspiration board) and using details from that car design a pair of flip flops for it.  As of right now we are in the ideation process where we are supposed to quickly bust out designs and try and figure out all possible solutions.  For Principles of Form we have a very interesting project that (to be honest) not many people appreciate too much.  Out of seven adjectives our professor chose the one that she thinks we are weakest with creating form... mine is heavy.  Just for an idea some other ones are painterly, highbrow/lowbrow and humble.  Next she chose a material for us to design this thing out of and once again it is something that we aren't to strong with... mine is Canvas.  Some others are leather, wood, metal and paper.  Using these two elements we have to design a device to hold flowers, a device to measure time and a device to hold a small flame.  the purpose for this is to use our creativity and ideation skills with something we are not strong with.  So these are just two of the projects but i thought i would share them with you... if you want some practice let me know and i will give you the exact brief for either assignment ;)
